- Due to the two-hour finale of The Amazing Race, 'Organ Grinder' was pushed to the 10pm timeslot, making it the first time for CSI to air directly opposite ER. ER, which aired the farewell episode of original cast member Eriq La Salle easily beat CSI, but the CBS show did better than any other first-run drama that ever aired opposite ER.
