Not surprised CSI NY is gone, Season 8 was poor and although I have only seen 7 of the 17 episodes in S9, only one of them has really gripped me out of those 7 and even then it's not as gripping as other great shows like Person of Interest and Hawaii Five 0.
It probably could have done with some refeshing of cast, which seems to have done CSI Vegas some favours.
As I said earlier in the thread, Mac is too sanctimonious, Jo is really irritating, Lynsey has always been dire (she might work as a recurring lab tech, but she is awful in the emotional/personal stuff).
Hawkes can be a bit too smug and Danny used to be cool, but has really become more boring since being lumped with Lynsey.
The tragedy here is the writers seemed to realise they wouldn't work as a couple and had them drift, but when Anna Belknap fell pregnant in real life, they seemed to be locked into the idea that the only way to deal with this was have the pregnancy written into the show and use it to get Danny and Lynsey together for good.
I wonder if Belknap hadn't been pregnant, or if the writers tried to ignore or hide the pregnancy like they did in CSI Miami when Emily Procter was up the spout, then maybe the show would have taken a different direction and may have survived.
