Thanks for alerting me to the fact that it is "the finale". I will pay closer attention then......I am afraid, like so many shows, that CSI has run it's course. It was so new and innovative when it began, but now that every other show has more or less copied it, it's old and used. I did like Danson, but once you lose the main characters, it's hard to recover the initial enthusiasm......I've enjoyed it's run, but agree it's time to die......
