Here's the full quote from TV Guide magazine: 'And after a lot of is-she-or-isn't-she-staying, Jorja Fox ends speculation and rejoins CSI full-time. "Jorja will be with us for the whole second half of the season," confirms exec producer Carol Mendelsohn. Which is good, because Rascal Flatts guest stars in an episode after the Olympics, and the team will need all the help they can get..." Cite: January 25-31, 2010 issue Thanks Piper and SidleFan8! January 14, 2010. Spike TV has been running repeat episodes of CSI--sometimes marathons--so often, that some of their viewers are complaining. Their deal will end in September 2014. Fear not, USA Network has inked a deal for nonexclusive rights for Season 1-10 . Which means the reruns can also be broadcast on other channels. Beginning in the fall of 2011, USA Network will have exclusive rights for Season 11 and beyond. Beginning in September 2014, the entire CSI catalog will be aired exclusively on USA and the entire NBC Universal channels. Original VARIETY article: HERE thanks to victorytheatre!! INTERVIEWS  credit: TimeOut Chicago The Telegraph.co.uk conducted an in-depth interview of William Petersen in early January 2010. (And it's in English!). The article was spotted by ace reporter victorytheatre--well done--and is so good I am posting it here in its entirety: William Petersen on life after CSI - Telegraph The actor, who played Gil Grissom in CSI, tells Neil Midgley why he loves his new life on stage. by Neil Midgely Published 5:46 PM GMT 07 Jan 2010 As he walks into the cafe of London's Natural History Museum, William Petersen doesn't turn a single head. With his corduroy jacket and friendly "How are ya?", he hardly projects the air of one of the world's biggest TV stars. Yet for nine seasons, Petersen played the lead role in th the world's most successful TV drama franchise, CSI, in which he was Gil Grissom, the head forensic investigator, has spawned two spin-offs--and is seen by tens of millions around the world. "We're going off to Paris next," says Petersen, 56. "In France, the show is called Les Experts--the experts. It's weird, most places didn't change the whole title, but they did." He shrugs, as if to say that whatever French network TF1 does is fine by him--after all, they're helping pay for his trip to Europe. His wife, Gina, is chatting with his PR at the next table; Petersen has cannily brought her along for the promotional ride. "We've been having a good time," he says. "I took her to the Tower, we're going to hit the Tate tomorrow. We've seen a lot of theatre." Petersen himself is an experienced stage actor and, since leaving his on-screen role in CSI last year, has returned to the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company in his native Chicago. "I hadn't been able to do any theatre for 10 years because of the show, and I thought, if I don't do it now, I'll never do it," he says. "I didn't want to become afraid to do theatre." His two roles since leaving CSI - in Conor McPherson's Dublin Carol, at the Steppenwolf, and David Harrower's Blackbird, also in Chicago ---stretched acting muscles long neglected on the TV show. "It's a three-dimensional world in the theatre," he says. "TV is a two-dimensional world." Two-dimensional it may have been, but CSI was Petersen's world for the best part of a decade. He misses his former colleagues, and he retains an executive producer credit. Though that, he says, means the occasional visit to the set to see that all is well, rather than running things. "If I was going to do that, I'd have stayed on the show. The show has to find its own legs, without those of us that have left," he says, referring to original cast member Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown), who has also departed. Season 10 starts on Five on Tuesday, with Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) now the lead investigator. She can only take on so much of Grissom's paterfamilias role, so Matrix star Laurence Fishburne was brought in when Petersen left to provide a bit of butch gravitas. But his character, Dr. Langston, is still learning the ropes of as a CSI, and can't replicate Grissom's Yoda-like wisdom. This leads to a very different on-screen dynamic - about which Petersen is diplomatic. "I try to stay out of...I try to do what Grissom would do, which is not judge it," he says. What he does lament is the profusion of forensic science shows on US TV, with CSI now having three outlets (including spin-offs Miami and NY) and NCIS two (its spin-off, NCIS: Los Angeles, debuted to huge ratings in autumn last year). "There's going to come a time where we're gonna yearn for Angela Lansbury," he says. "And we might be there." Though he earned a reputed $600,000 US (375,000 UK pounds) an episode, Petersen doesn't seem to longing for his days on the CSI treadmill. In person, he's relaxed and handsome, with a Hollywood bronze tan and striking silver hair. For now, he says, he's not looking for another network show. Projects must be well-written, not well-paid. "I never did the TV show for money; money's not the issue," he says. "I have more money than I ever thought I'd have, and it takes a certain amount of stress off you. I can work at the Steppenwolf and I don't have to worry about paying my bills." If the right project came along, he says he'd love to work in the UK; he speaks fondly of shows such as Prime Suspect. "The Helen Mirren thing was as good as TV gets," he says, and points out that the procedural format of CSI was very restrictive. "It would be fun to work on stuff that has character in the forefront." That's not to say, though, that Petersen has left Grissom behind forever: one day, he could turn up in London. "We may have to save that for the movie," says Petersen. "Where we get to deal with some characters from Scotland Yard. Grissom could be on vacation." And as William Petersen escorts his wife away to a nice lunch in the West End, that scenario is not hard to imagine. Gil Grissom may be gone for now, but he's definitely not forgotten. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is on Tuesday on Five at 9:00 pm. copyright of Telegraph Media Group Limited 2010 ****************************************** January 9, 2010. The President of CBS, Nina Tassler, was interviewed by eonline about this season of CSI. Tassler stands behind Laurence Fishburne, saying, "as he's more comfortable with the team, the team is more comfortable with him, they are able to build more intimacy...You're going to find more irreverence, more iconic stories..." as the season progresses. The rest HERE CSI AWARDS and NOMINATIONS The CSI cast (no individual actor) have only won one major award, a Screen Actor's Guild Award in 2005. More on this in the 2009 Archives. On Nov. 10, 2009: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was nominated for a People's Choice Award. We, the people, voted for the nominees. The category was Favorite TV Drama. The People's Choice Awards was broadcast on CBS on Wednesday, January 6, 2010. 9 PM ET. Bonus--it was hosted by the multi-talented Queen Latifah. She was interviewed in the Jan.4, 2010 issue of TV Guide and asked what TV shows she watches: " I always watch CSI and really enjoy Criminal Minds and Cold Case. I dig the crime stuff." January 7, 2010. CSI was dissed again. They lost to House as Favorite TV Drama. None of the cast was in attendance, that I could see, not even the lovely Jorja. So that may be the last chance for Billy Petersen to be recognized for his nine seasons on CSI.
