- Stoyanov, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6It's a pity he leaves. CSI is one of the few shows I watch on a regular basis (including LOST).
- fitqueenb, on 07/16/2008, -0/+7That kind of suck, liked this dude on this show. Hope his replacement can fill his shoes.
- magicjohnson, on 07/16/2008, -0/+10He was the epitome of CSI. I don't think the show will air for much longer after his departure.
- skabyss, on 07/16/2008, -0/+9Color CSI dead, this man held that show together.
- bosssmiley, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2True. There is no CSI without Grissom. Heck, this is the man who caught Hannibal Lector (first time around, when he was Brian Cox). :-)
- Jasper710, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Good!
- meandnips, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3Pity he's leaving. That's 3 of the main characters gone, so if they're going to keep CSI going they better bring in some really good characters because the remaining cast isn't strong enough to carry my interest.
- RealmDown, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Might as well. It worked with ER.
- bluebovine, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2he started a franchise that is mind numbing.
- Xios117, on 07/17/2008, -0/+4I really hate it when actors leave shows that it almost seems like they're meant to be on...
I won't really watch CSI anymore, it'll never feel right.- RealmDown, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1By the same token, actors dislike it (mostly) when they get pigeonholed like that into a role. It is very difficult to "break out" of that role and find different ground to play. For example, Kirk did it, but it took years.
- AndrewKC6, on 07/17/2008, -1/+2They can just put David Caruso in to replace him... Hes just as good right ..?
- grumpygorilla, on 07/17/2008, -0/+2a shame...I'm still mad about Warrick!
- chadwalters23, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1So, will Liev Shrieber become a regular? He was really interesting on his guest arc.
- sandanie, on 08/01/2008, -0/+0I'll miss him and won't want to watch CSI without him. Grissom made the show for me, and may be TV's sexiest nerdman. I've read that before he goes, Sara Sidle, Madame Heather and the Miniature Killer will revisit him on the show. IMO, that will be worth watching.
