I want to go on record by saing that I personally liked the character of Riley Adams. She was a regular CSI on CSI: Vegas for only one season and I don’t think they gave her enough time for the audience to get into her character. I liked her snarky wit and the way she could think fast in a tough situation. But, alas, perhaps I was only one of the few…
But we are told that Riley won’t be a part of season 10 and that Jorja Fox, aka Sara Sidle will be back …read more

Well, it’s the hiatus between shooting the seasons of CSI: Vegas and the show’s stars have a lot going on. Even though they are not shooting CSI, they are often still working on other projects.
Also, when Laurence Fishburne was announced as a new cast member for the show, so many of us were incredibly excited because we’ve seen him in many, many movies before and know that he’s a mega-star. If you wonder what else he’s been in, be sure to check him out on IMDb sometime. But the things he has in the works right now …read more

CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.16 – Turn, Turn, Turn
Air Date: March 5, 2009
It looks like this week, hottie Gearge Eads will be the focus of the case. I think he is terrific and look forward to him being highlighted more in this episode. It’s featuring also guest star Taylor Swift in her acting debut. She’ll play the daughter of the proprietors of a seedy motel. Apparently, the place has been the scene of three murders over a period of only a year…
Spoiler:
The CSI renaissance continues. In addition to the mesmerizing gravitas that comes with every word uttered by Laurence Fishburne, …read more

And why haven’t we seen more of the new CSI Riley Adams, aka Lauren Lee Smith? She’s a terrific character and brings some really fun attitude to the show. I’ve been wondering that and now, thank goodness, TV Guide has answered the question.
Spoiler:
Why is Lauren Lee Smith getting so little face time in the latest CSI episodes? — Norman
TIM: She’ll get more, and soon. The lovely Canadian told us on the set this week that we’ll soon see why her character, Riley Adams, “seems to have a chip on her shoulder.” Apparently someone close to Riley was a victim …read more

Episode 9.15 – Kill Me If You Can
Air Date: February 26, 2009
These are always interesting episodes, when they start with what seems to be three different cases, but later realize they are all connected. As far as I can tell, no show anywhere does this as well as CSI: Vegas. The team heads to separate crime scenes and ends up having to put their heads together to solve them all. I’m really looking forward to this one.
Press Release:
THE CSI TEAM WORKS THREE SEPARATE CASES IN ONE NIGHT THAT FORENSICS REVEALS SHARE A COMMON LINK, ON “CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION,” THURSDAY, …read more

Episode 9.14 – Miscarriage Of Justice
Air Date: February 19. 2009
Personally, I am a huge fan of Laurence Fishburne and have been for years. So it probably comes as no surprise to you that I like the fact that the Langston character is getting to be a part of every episode of CSI: Vegas these days. Fishburne is perfect for the part he’s playing and brings his own touch to the show. It looks like he’ll be pretty busy in this episode where new evidence causes the team to head back to the lab to reopen a case. I love it!

Episode 9.13 – Deep Fried and Minty Fresh
Air Date: February 12, 2009
What does fried chicken oil and toothpaste have to do with the Las Vegas Crime Lab? I guess we’ll just have to watch CSI: Vegas on Thursday to find out!
In this spoiler clip, we see a fast food restaurant that gets its drums of used cooking oil stolen, a guy who is making ethanol in his garage, a New Age type of girl and some crazy autopsy findings. Yep. It looks like a really good episode coming up on CSI!

On Tuesday, William Petersen, aka Gil Grissom was honored with his own star on the Walk of Fame. For those of you who want to see it, it’s located in front of Musso’s & Franks Restaurant in Los Angeles.
And nearly all of his fellow CSI: Vegas co-stars were there to celebrate the occasion with him. I don’t see Lauren Lee Smith, Wallace Langham, Paul Guilfoyle or Gary Dourdan, But Robert David Hall, David Berman, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Marg Helgenberger and Archie Kao all were there.
Here are some cute photos of them at the …read more

CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.12 – Disarmed and Dangerous
Air Date: January 29, 2009
The CSIs always get especially serious when they are on the trail of a cop-killer. And an FBI agent is the same as a cop in most people’s eyes. This one could get pretty intense! Sounds great!
Press Release:

CSI: Vegas – Episode 9.11 – The Grave Shift
Air Date: January 22, 2009
If you check the list of cast members, there’s a sad omission…William Petersen is no longer listed as a regular, starting with this episode. *sigh* I, for one, will miss him on the show. But on the bright side, I’ve been a fan of Laurence Fishburne for many years, so I’m thrilled that he’s a part of the cast now. I guess that change is always difficult…
