Thursday night premieres: ‘CSI,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ‘Mentalist’ by Paige Wiser
“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” (8 p.m., WBBM-Channel 2): Jorja Fox returns in tonight’s episode to help out Laurence Fishburne and the gang. A producer insists that her character is still with Grissom – but there are no scheduled appearances for William Petersen.
Jeff Simon of Buffalonews.com shares his thoughts on the Emmy’s and Billy.
We need an award show that would recognize how much William Petersen’s finicky dweebiness as Grissom on those first seasons of “CSI” was responsible not just for that show’s success but the whole inundation of “CSI” and pseudo- “CSI” numbers to come. As pure performance goes, Petersen’s now-gone subtlety, too, is for all time. (Stay tuned, though, for Jorja Fox’s brief return to the show this week.)
Please be cautious of people online claiming to be Billy. The Petersen's themselves have confirmed to us that Billy does not use the computer, so if you do run into someone claiming to be Billy on a forum/website, etc. this person is a fake!
