'CSI: Vegas' revival canceled by CBS after three seasons. Which other shows are ending?
"CSI: Vegas," a revival of the original CBS hit drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," will end its run after three seasons.
The May 17 finale will mark the end of the second life for "CSI," which premiered in 2000, became an instant hit and ran for 15 seasons highlighting the night staff of the Las Vegas Crime Lab.
The original "CSI" featured a cast that included William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger, Ted Danson, Elisabeth Shue, and Laurence Fishburne. Throughout many of its years on CBS, "CSI" ranked as the most-watched drama worldwide.
CBS aired 335 episodes, earned six Emmy Awards and 39 nominations before ending its run the first time in 2015. It led to three spinoffs: "CSI: Miami" (2002-12); "CSI: New York" (2004-13); and the short-lived "CSI: Cyber" (2014-16).
