It’s a good thing we know that Adam Rodriguez is going to be back in season 8 of CSI: Miami, or this would be a pretty big shock.

It looks in this spoiler from Michael Ausiello that CSI: Miami’s season 8 premiere will involve Delko in a coma and having visions of the days when the team first started working together. (Let’s just hope they don’t all break into song and dance, like the comatose visions last week on Rescue Me…PLEASE!)

Sources confirm that CSI: Miami is planning to kick off its eighth season with a circa ‘97 origin episode that will show the early days of the team. It’s my understanding that the episode will be told from the point of view of a comatose Delko (Adam Rodriguez), who flashes back to his first murder case with the Miami-Dade PD. Delko, of course, was critically wounded in the season finale. [Source: EW]

CBS has announced its premiere dates for the fall season and all three of the CSI series were among those dates. We need to find out which of the CSI: NY cast members will be back, and which will be leaving. And we need to find out what happens with Eric Delko on CSI: Miami. There’s just so much we need to know!

Here’s when we can hope to find out:

According to TV Guide, there’s going to be a new hunk in the cast of CSI: Miami. The show is already full of beautiful people! How exciting that we’ll get a new one to enjoy in season 8!

Former Ugly Betty and Third Watch star Eddie Cibrian will be joining the Miami CSIs in their battle against the Russian mob and whomever else dares to threaten the peace in Miami.

I think he’ll make a great addition to the show. What do you think?

Emily Procter stopped by for a photo session to help promote CSI Miami during the 49th Monte-Carlo TV Festival in Monaco today. She’s looking terrific in these photos, don’t you think?

I’ll be watching for interviews and videos of her there too. So be sure to check back for those!

According to Variety, the annual Monte Carlo TV Festival begins on Sunday in Monaco. And just like in years past, two fo the CSI series will compete for the title of most-watched TV drama, worldwide.

This year, CSI: Vegas, CSI: Miami & House MD will go head to head for the title. The nominations were chosen by the Producers’ Guld of America and one of them will bring home the title this year. I’ll keep you posted.

The fest has had to develop a new identity since it abandoned its market in 2001. CEO David Tomatis said Tuesday that it now serves as a networking event for producers and talent; a platform for international productions in its six competitive sections; and an opportunity for some 350 invited journos, mostly from Europe, to meet U.S. talent.

As a fan of all three of the CSI series, I see it as a 2 out of 3 chance of winning. Those are great odds!!

Episode 7.22 - Dead On Arrival
Air Date: April 27, 2009

Are you like me and simply despise those dumb reality dating shows? If so, you’re going to love this clip! This is one way to spice up the finale of a show like The Bachelor! Now THIS I would watch.

In this clip from tonight’s episode of CSI: Miami, the winning contestant on a reality show is found dead, just before being announced the winner. It’s up to the CSIs to find out who did it and why. Now I’m excited about tonight’s episode!

Episode 5.21 - The Past, Present and Murder
Air Date: April 15, 2009

Tomorrow night’s episode of CSI: NY will show us how the team takes on a difficult case where a man falls from near the top of a tall building to the street, but the body goes missing. Not only will they have to figure out how he died, but do it without the body! Yikes!

In this first clip, we see Craig T. Nelson’s character call for help when he says that a man attacked him in his office, but now is dead. Of course, that’s the guy who fell to the street and is gone.

CSI: Vegas - Episode 9.20 - A Space Oddity
Air Date: April 16, 2009

Someone would have to have no sense of humor at all not to like this trailer for Thursday’s episode of CSI: Vegas. It’s the one where the writers and the guest stars are from Battlestar Gallactica. Originally, this episode was to be called To Boldly Go… but now we see that the title has changed to A Space Oddity.

Lab rats Wendy and Hodges run into each other at a scifi convention. And if you’ve never had the pleasure of going to one, they are a lot of fun, even for a non-scifi fan like me. People walk around in full Klingon costumes and other amazing outfits, all while playing the parts of their favorite scifi characters, and so much more… And in this clip, we see Hodges’ very active imagination take over at times and it looks like he is romantically interested in Wendy. (Who wouldn’t be? She’s smart and pretty!) And when they get a murder case from the convention, the team and the lab rats have to wade through reality and fantasy to solve the crime.

Fans of the original Star Trek, be sure to notice David Berman’s parody of Scotty when he replies to the request to close the cadaver back up!! LOL!

I know that we’ve already seen the CSI: Vegas 200th episode, but I just found this great clip of the cast at the party. It’s pretty fun because Marg Helgenberger tells that there are only four shows on TV these days that have made it to the 200 episode milestone, and only two of them have live actors. LOL!

George Eads talks a bit about Laurence Fishburne and how lucky the show is to have such a great actor join it. There are some fun candid shots of the cast enjoying the celebration too. I hope you enjoy it:

Episode 5.20 - Prey
Air Date: April 8, 2009

Tomorrow night’s episode of CSI: NY will begin with a killer taking a picture of the man that was killed and emailing it to the police. Not exactly a smart thing to do, don’t you think?

There’s also going to be a very hot scene between Flack and Angell. It’s all in this spoiler clip from the beginning of tomorrow’s episode, Prey. Check it out:
