‘CSI’ Versus ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Where Does The Showdown Stand Mid Season?

CSI creator Anthony Zuiker shares his take on the competition between top-rated shows, CSI and Grey’s Anatomy. With the season half over, both shows are still going strong.

CSI leads in total viewers, while Grey’s Anatomy wins out with the all important 18-49 demographic. Though at last weeks People’s Choice Awards, CSI suffered a blow when Grey’s won Best Drama.

“I think it was a very smart move by ABC and (president Stephen McPherson) to put one of their best shows up against one of the best shows on CBS,” says Zuiker. “Two, three, four great shows can co-exist on the same night.”

Despite all his success, Zuiker feels he’s still one of the most down-to-earth guys in Hollywood. “My life runs where it’s like I’m on top of the world and then I get one really big slap across the face every couple of months that reminds me, ‘You’re still the guy playing pinball and picking up dog crap in the backyard. Don’t forget that, Anthony.’”
