Reader's Cheer of the Week: Grissom and Sara Rock! | Cheers & Jeers | 4/11/2008
Posted by csifan...Cheers to CSI for keeping Sara and Grissom together. It's nice to see a mature, committed relationship on TV. It would have been easy to end it when Jorja Fox left the show. But they have taken the high road, typical for CSI, and have managed the difficult task of maintaining this intriguing relationship with little said onscreen. Well done, writers, and Mr. Petersen. Hope to see Ms. Fox back to appear with him again.For an opposing view, check out the Reader's Jeer of the... read more
Reader's Jeer of the Week: Let Grissom Move On! | Cheers & Jeers | 4/11/2008
Posted by ladyhlives...Jeers to CSI and CBS for not allowing Grissom to move on. They clearly wanted to leave the audience thinking Sara called Grissom. Let it go! She was a wench, and he can do so much better. Why can't CBS understand the "relationship" with Grissom and Sidle was nauseating and ill- conceived from the start? Please let Grissom find someone new and worthy of him.For an opposing view, check out the Reader's Cheer of the Week.• For more Cheers & Jeers, including a review... read more
Ask Matt | 11/16/2007
Jorja Fox's last CSI episode just aired, and that got me to thinking about all the brouhaha back when the relationship between Grissom and Sara was revealed in the Season 6 finale. At the time, there were dire predictions that this was the end of the rope for the series. It had become a soap, turned a corner, jumped the shark, etc. Looking back at it now, do you think that the romance ? its reveal, and the way it was woven into Seasons 7 and 8 ? was a detriment to the show? An asset? My ... read more
CSI's Sara Sidles Off into the Sunset | Roush Dispatch | 11/15/2007
On last week’s episode of CSI, in the crossover stunt featuring Without a Trace’s Jack Malone, Sara Sidle was shown as visibly shaken at an especially unsettling crime scene, walking away as if she’d had enough. Her psychological unease and emotional exhaustion had been well established even before last season’s cliff-hanger that left her trapped under a car in the desert, as fans wondered all summer if TV’s top procedural was going to kill off one of its own.... read more
Jorja's View: Leaving CSI Was "the Hardest Decision" | Today's News: Our Take | 11/14/2007
Sara Sidle will be back. That's what CSI star Jorja Fox said she "believes," appearing as a guest cohost on Wednesday's The View. Fox said she's "fortunate to have had 11 and a half years on prime-time" TV, but now she "wants to breathe for a second and take a look around." Calling her decision to leave CSI "the hardest decision I ever made," Fox went on to joke that now that she's done with the hit procedural, "I can date the cast." (No, she didn't hint at which cast member she was referring... read more
Carpe Diem | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 10/19/2007
Episode Recap: “The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp"Wow! As you all know from reading my preview item, I did not see this coming! Especially because of Michael Ausiello’s scoop — Jorja Fox is still leaving, though she may flit in and out of CSI kingdom from time to time. But despite all of that, when Grissom popped the question, Sara said yes!Let me tell you, I heart this proposal. Heart heart heart! Spontaneous declarations of love are always better than scripted, pre-thought... read more
Excluvise Ausiello Scoop! Jorja Will Be Back! | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 10/18/2007

Preview: Grissom Pops the Question | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 10/17/2007
"Maybe we should get married," Grissom says to Sara in this week's pivotal episode. What will be her response? (Since Jorja Fox is leaving the show, I'm guessing her answer is no. But that's just me.) As for the main story, a young man is found strangled to death by hanging. While that may not sound all that unusual, the catch is — wait for it — that the man's body looks like it’s that of a female. — Tim Holland read more

Jorja Fox: CSI Is a Keeper, So I'm a Goner | Today's News: Our Take | 10/16/2007
Explaining that there are many things, both personal and professional, that she wants to do — "and I really need to do some of them before I get too old" — Jorja Fox confirms the biz's worst-kept secret, that her days as a CSI are ending, partly because the hit procedural isn't. "If I thought the show were on its last legs, I would've tried harder to stay the course," she tells Entertainment Weekly. "But I feel like it's going to be around for a while." As such, she says, "I have to... read more
Thursday-night TV: It's Back! | Roush Dispatch | 9/28/2007
Now that's what I like to see on TV's most overcrowded night: TV's top crime drama and TV's top medical soap back in fine form, the two most-awaited season premieres of the week delivering on the hype. And the icing on the cake? Another sensational episode of AMC's summer holdover Mad Men, the one show I never want to see end. I'm going to miss that one when it goes away in a few weeks. As much as I enjoy CSI and Grey's Anatomy, combatants of the highest and most satisfying order, they feel... read more
CSI Exclusive: Sara Lives… But Jorja Leaves! | Ausiello Report | 9/28/2007
How's this for a twisty turnabout: Even though Sara Sidle survived her run-in with CSI's Miniature Killer in last night's gripping season premiere, her time on the show has nonetheless come to an end. Multiple sources confirm that Jorja Fox — whose contract expired at the end of last season — will depart the hit procedural this November after failing to come to terms on a new long-term deal. And although Fox doesn't outright confirm her exit in the following exclusive interview, the... read more
CSI Sneak Peek: Can Grissom Save Sara? | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 8/30/2007
Instead of using "Who Are You" as its theme song this season, CSI producers might want to consider the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go." In last spring's season finale, Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) was left trapped under a car in the Nevada desert by a serial killer ? with pouring rain threatening to drown her ? while Gil Grissom (William Petersen), her boyfriend and boss, and the rest of the CSIs frantically tried to find her. Sara's life hung in the balance because of the car ? and the fact... read more
Ask Matt | 8/27/2007
This question has been eating away at me for months and I'm hoping you can help me out. I've always enjoyed spoilers. I'm the impatient type, and summer is usually the worst stretch of time for me. TVGuide.com is obviously known for giving out little tidbits here and there about certain shows, but why aren't we "allowed" to know specific details? I'll use CSI as an example, or more to the point, Jorja Fox. She will either be back or she won't, and we already know that at least one reporter ... read more

Is CSI On the Hunt for a New Jorja Fox? | Ausiello Report | 7/24/2007
Although CSI hasn't even pronounced Sara dead yet, it sounds suspiciously like the powers-that-be are already planning to breathe new life into the show by introducing a replacement for Jorja Fox's hot cop. Executive producer Carol Mendolsohn has told me exclusively that a new female character will turn up in this season's third episode. "[She] may be a CSI or lab tech," the boss said. And, according to my casting spies, the junior detective will be in her mid-twenties, fresh out of college and... read more

May 17, 2007: Season Finale | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 5/18/2007
Now there’s an ending! Something happening to Sara certainly wasn’t a well kept secret at all. So, I kind of half expected to be bored by this episode, since I figured I already knew the big spoiler. I certainly wasn’t expecting the absolute psychotic nature of the miniature killer. I mean, you knew the killer wasn’t right in the head based on the crimes themselves, but, wow, this girl was truly nuts. Nothing boring about her. So Natalie Davis is the killer — a foster... read more

Staying Alive: Jorja Fox in Talks with CSI | TV Guide News Report | 5/3/2007
Jorja has a raise on her mind. The star of CSI staged a one-day walkout from the set during the shoot of the CBS show's season finale, which airs May 17. The actress is in talks with producers about a new contract to keep her on the show, sources familiar with the discussions tell TV Guide. How those talks go may decide the result of the cliff-hanging finale in which Fox's character, Sara Sidle, is struck by an automobile. At one point the story had Sidle dying, but it was rewritten to be more... read more
April 26, 2007: Happy | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 4/27/2007
As I begin, it's now exactly 34 minutes past the end of this week's episode and I'm still laughing. What a riot this was. You know Brass always brings a little bit of humor and he dominated this episode from the start. So, let's see. Our boxer "Happy" gets injected with snake venom, then has a severe allergic reaction to shellfish, which transferred to him via some "very special first-aid." Then as his lungs are tightening and he's about to lose all his air, he gets an arrow through the throat... read more

April 12, 2007: ? | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 4/13/2007
A question mark. That pretty much sums up my feelings for this episode of CSI. What a bizarre ride this one was. I'm an outspoken guy and usually have plenty of words to convey my feelings, but I'm not sure what to say for this one. I can't take the straight-up recap approach because there was only about 10 minutes of new, interesting substance. So instead, I'm going to bullet-point my thoughts and you can feel free to comment on them. — First of all, half of this episode was like a bad... read more
March 29, 2007: Welcome Back! | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 3/30/2007
Can you believe it's been more than a month since the last new CSI episode? So what better way to rekindle my CSI flame than to give me an unusually high amount of bloody gore! This episode certainly was one of the more gruesome in recent memory. Six young showgirls all tied up with their throats slashed and a full half hour at least at the crime scene. It was kind of creepy, too. The gang doesn't usually come across victims that are still alive, so when the one girl reached out from under the... read more
February 22, 2007: Fallen Idols | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 2/23/2007
What a crazy little episode this was. To me, this was one of the least predictable episodes of the season, which is always a good thing. We all know the high-school jock/cheerleader story. That's certainly nothing new. But the events surrounding the disappearance and possible murder of these kids was very creative. (Now's the time to insert your own "Didn't you ever watch [famous show]? This same story happened in Season 2 of [famous show] back in 1994. I'm positive my answer will be, "Nope, I... read more

February 8, 2007: The Return of Grissom | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 2/9/2007
It's time for everyone to disagree with me again. When my opinion about an episode sways drastically one way or the other, it usually means everyone will think the exact opposite. So here's your chance. This was the best episode of the season! If there were still any lingering questions about Keppler possibly showing up in a few episodes with Gil, they are all gone now. Last week, what I thought was a clear assumption that Keppler killed this "Amy" girl wasn't true at all. And thinking he... read more
February 1, 2007: Meet Market | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 2/2/2007
Miss me? Nah, didn't think so. You guys did such a great job with the recaps last week, I seriously thought about making myself busy again and just letting you write it up again. But I couldn't go another week without CSI. I kind of wish I did, though.Now, I told you last week that I would watch the episode over the weekend and then comment on it, and I didn't. So here's my comment. I watched the first 20 minutes, and then decided I'd much rather be playing Madden. Does that say enough? I... read more
January 18, 2007: Gil Who? | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 1/19/2007
No, no, no. I'm just kidding with the title of my blog. I wouldn't want to start a quarterback controversy here. Is the show better off without William Petersen? Is the fresh blood of Liev Schreiber a nice jolt of energy? Can no one ever match up with Gil Grissom? All very good questions, which I can let you decide. But let me share my thoughts. Hello, Mr. Mike Keppler. A nice dark, mysterious intro followed by him walking up to the body and touching it. Good start, buddy. And right there we... read more
January 4, 2007: Bye Bye, Gil | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 1/5/2007
Welcome to 2007, everyone. I planned on an emotional ride for my first new episode of the calendar year, but I really didn't get that. Grissom's going on sabbatical — we knew that part. How the last episode played out was going to be the story. But it really wasn't. There wasn't that much drama at all. Hodges was the first to find out and got him a college sweatshirt and started talking to Gil about his "crazy times" at the school since he was a student there. Cat then found out she was... read more

November 2, 2006: Good Job, Gashopper | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 11/3/2006
I always love it when someone tries to tell Gil Grissom that they know what he's thinking. No one ever knows what Gil is thinking, especially in this episode. Seems to me like Gil's feelin' a bit tired of it all right now. We all get to that point once in a while. You know, where you sit in your drab gray cube, squinting at the computer more and more as the day gets long. And then suddenly you just lose it, and everything sort of jumbles. We all need some time to clear our head now and again.... read more
October 12, 2006: Fannysmackin' | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 10/13/2006
I have this funny feeling right now. I think this was the best episode of the season so far and actually the best episode in a long time on CSI but at the same time it was certainly right up there with Nick being buried alive as completely emotionally draining. The episode itself was great, the story line though — certainly nothing great about it. Poor Greg. He was completely stoked after completing his first trial, looking all sharp in his suit and then he gets the beatdown of his life. I... read more
