my friend, who is about to start his residency, called this one as soon as they found the hair on the woman's body that matched the doctor's DNA.

Greg will move to the field next year and he will find a replacement.
Then after next season when William Peterson leaves the show, Nick or Cathrine will get promoted to head CSI.

why is william peterson leaving the showw?

Maybe's he's bored with the show or how his character is not developing.

Well, he was pissed that they did a spin off CSI: Miami. He thought it hurt the "integrity" of the show. He's always talked about leaving, but he'll still get paid if he continues to contribute since he's an executive producer.

VERY good ep.!

wonder how much the NY spin off will piss him off
Miami is a shell of what Vegas is

>>Um no. It doesn't work quite like that. Many officers keep their jobs if they get a DUI. Usually it requires some form of suspension or demotion. I've seen it many times.

William Petersen has not said he was leaving the show...his contract is merely up at the end of Season Five. Trust me, CBS will find a way to re-up him for a few more seasons. He's also a producer on the show, so losing him would mean more than just losing his character. CSI without Gil Grissom would be like X-Files without Fox Mulder...and we all know how that worked out.

I don't think Petersen was as upset with the new series as much as he was with the producers using CSI to launch CSI:Miami (he felt in underminded the work they were doing on the show)...that's why in the CSI show that introduced the CSI: Miami characters, Grissom doesn't go to Miami in that episode.

That was a good finale, although I could do without the personal story of Sarah being a drunk - that never happens in police dramas.
