September 27th has arrived, the CSI Series Finale will air this evening on CBS at 9/8c. We expect a lot more articles will appear over the coming week as the finale airs around the world, but for now here are those from the last two days.
From the Inquirer.Net – William Petersen dishes on ‘CSI’ finale and new show by Ruben Nepales
Can you talk about your experience shooting the “CSI” finale?
It was a great experience. I have to thank CBS for giving us the opportunity to do it because after the show was canceled, they said, would you guys want to come back and do a finale? Of course, everybody wanted to. So it was a great opportunity to do that.
I hadn’t been on the show for seven years. It was really fun to go back, see everybody again and get to see some of the crew guys and all the actors. It was a lot of fun and laughs. The great thing about “CSI” was, we were always best friends and we all really cared about each other.
I stayed in touch with people after I was off the show. But it’s different when you get to go back and play the same characters again together. So it was a thrill and a joy.
Will there be closure for Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle?
You have to watch. I don’t know how they edited it so who knows?
They are teasing a lot about it in the trailer.
Of course, they are. I am always leery of saying much about it. With the technology and everything, everybody is going to find out anyway. But yeah, a big part of the finale is what happens to those guys (Gil and Sara).

thank you for 16 wonderful years
Just finished watching it. Great episode. It was really great seeing Billy, Marg & Paul.
Thank you for 15 years of a Fantastic, and exciting show.
I for one do not “get” CBS (or other networks with super-successful long-lived series [I cite the original “Law & Order”
and “CSI:Miami” – for most of its run the #1 series on the planet1]) pulling the plug on what is a near perfect show.
The other side of this, and I know there are many others that respond to such enjoyable indulgences the same way, but these characters- created by other humans for human enjoyment, entertainment, consumption if you will, become “part of the family.” And yeah, it isn’t nice and is sad that a sort of a lurch is created by shutting down such. And I suppose that is a tribute to the integrity, quality, story writing by a talented cast and crew. We’ll always have reruns. Thanks for a simply great time, education, and involving us in something still- not ordinary.
