I remember reading that the reason for cancelling CSI Miami was, it had become too costly to produce. If that was the case, how did CBS suddenly find the money for CSI Cyber, bearing in mind this show must have been in production while CSI Miami last series was still being aired.I can see the same fate awaiting NCIS, There are three of them, the weakest being the latest addition. Some years back the same happened with the “Law and Order spin offs” but thankfully the production team removed the less popular ones and to date “Law and Order” + “Law and Order Special Victims Unit” are still going strong (although I do miss Criminal Intent and quirky Goren). Maybe CBS and others should concentrate on the viewing figures, the fan base and the positive feedbacks from the general public, before making the decision to cancel an extremely popular show as in the case of CSI Miami. Please CBS, FOX Network, Universal etc. if you find it impossible to continue production of a particular popular series, give the viewing public the courtesy of a fitting or appropriate ending, in other words CLOSURE. You only have to look at the endings of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, its successful spin off “Angel” and “Firefly” to see what confusing and non explanatory endings are. If people are enjoying the shows let them, they will soon tell you when they are not. Remember the old adage ” IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T MEND IT”.
