Preview Laurence Fishburne’s CSI Debut
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, Video,
Wondering what a William Petersen-less CSI will look like? Well, here’s your chance to see how Morpheus might shake things up.
Later this week, The Matrix‘s Laurence Fishburne will join the CBS hit as Dr. Raymond Langston, the man who’ll eventually become a part of the investigative unit. The Oscar-nominee will play a former pathologist who aims to understand criminal behavior. According to the network, Langston wants to know “how and why people commit acts of violence—tendencies he disturbingly sees within himself.”
Look for Fishburne’s first appearance this Thursday, December 11.

The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, Cable, FX, HBO, Entourage, Editorial, Features,
Even though the previous television season was marred by the annoying writers’ strike, I find myself really excited for the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Not only will this ceremony give us a chance to start anew, it’ll be the academy’s chance to celebrate what’s new.
Tonight, two basic cable shows (Damages, Mad Men) will get a chance to win for Outstanding Drama Series. (That would be an Emmy first.) Meanwhile, nominees in several categories will have an opportunity to compete in a Sopranos-less environment. An added bonus? A new category. This year, reality show hosts will finally be acknowledged for their programming contributions as well.
So who won? Who lost? Who ran up and grabbed the award even though they didn’t win? Read our West Coast play-by-play account of this evening’s telecast and find out!

Laurence Fishburne In Talks to Join CSI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, Gossip, News,
UPDATE: Fishburne has been confirmed for the new season.
As previously announced, CBS’ top-rated show will be facing another major departure next season. Now it’s up to the network to find someone capable of maintaining the show’s ratings record.
Cue Laurence Fishburne. The Matrix star is reportedly close to becoming the latest cast member of CSI. The actor, who would help to fill the void William Petersen eventually creates, is set to play an doctor/scientist with an interesting genetic background. Although he has the makeup of a serial killer, he has yet to act on any of his impulses. (I wonder if that’s something he mentions in his resume.)
John Malkovich and Kurt Russell were other names previously mentioned as possibles.
CSI‘s 9th season begins October 9.

William Petersen Plans Exit from CSI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, News,
The bleeding just won’t stop at CSI.
In the past year, CBS has seen two actors (Gary Dourdan and Jorja Fox) leave its highest-rated show. Now the network will have to work around another major departure.
Although William Petersen signed a new contract earlier this year, it turns out that deal actually came with an exit plan. Entertainment Weekly reports Gil Grissom will only be with the team for part of the program’s 9th season. Petersen, though, won’t be going very far.
According to executive producer Carol Mendelsohn, “Billy is leaving. But he will remain throughout the run of the series an executive producer. And he will, whenever CBS asks, come back. I don’t think you’ve seen the last of Gil Grissom.”
As for how Grissom will leave is, of course, a secret. We do know though that Jorja Fox - who will briefly return to the series - will somehow play a part.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation returns on October 9.

Another Actor Quits CSI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, News, Rumors,
UPDATE: You can read about Dourdan’s recent drug-related arrest here.
Fans of CSI will probably have some mixed feelings about their casting lineup this fall.
The good news? Just a few weeks ago, lead player William Petersen extended his contract with the CBS show. His current deal had him on the network until next month; his new terms will have him with program through the end of the 2008-09 season.
The bad news? TV Guide is reporting that another cast member has opted against renewing his gig beyond his May expiration date. Gary Dourdan, who has starred as Warrick Brown since 2000, has informed his bosses that he will be leaving the successful franchise. This news comes one year after Jorja Fox chose to walk away as well. (Though her last air date was technically in November.)
Although it’s unclear when or how Dourdan will depart CSI, make sure you have your Tivos prepared for the season finale on May 15.
