CSI News: Ted Danson Joining Patricia Arquette Spin-off, Show Creator Asking Fans to Submit Finale Ideas

Share

Ted Danson used to play Sam Malone, the guy who never loses. Now Danson will movie his “CSI” character over to “CSI: Cyber” with Patricia Arquette, a smart move that keeps perennial star Danson on screen on CBS for a time to come.
No word on what happens to Elisabeth Shue, who I think comes out short here. Too bad, because she’s so good.

CBS has also announced that William Pederson and Marg Helgenberger, the original stars of “CSI,” will return for the two hour finale on September 27th. The show’s creator Anthony Zuiker went on line a few minutes ago asking fans for ideas about what storylines they’d like to see on that final show.
