If you’re as addicted to CSI as I am, then you’ll want to make sure you tune in tonight. CBS will be airing the last new episode finished before the strike, according to The Futon Critic:

“Bull” - The CSIs investigate two murders during the annual bull riding rodeo in Vegas that may be connected to illegal bull breeding, on CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, Thursday, Jan. 10 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Brendan Wayne, the grandson of John Wayne, Ty Murray, professional rodeo cowboy, actress Nicole Sullivan (”The King of Queens”) and country music singer Shooter Jennings guest star. Singer Jewel makes a cameo appearance performing the national anthem.

One thing I’ve always loved about CSI is how good they are at exploring the various and sundry subcultures of America. Las Vegasis the type of place where you really can find anything you’re looking for, and it makes for some fantastic television.

I’m surprised at the longevity of this series. It doesn’t seem like the type of show that would be around for eight seasons, and to be honest it doesn’t look like it’s losing any steam now. I know I enjoy the show for the mystery aspect of it, and I admit to being one of those people who rolls their eyes at the bad science/procedure.

So what is it about Gil Grissom that keeps people tuning in? Will you be watching tonight?
