It was on the bubble season after season since season 7 so it came as no big surprise CBS would cancel CSI:NY after only 9 seasons! Somehow it was always on the cards and it was obvious they wouldn't bother matching it with CSI:Miami which managed to get 10 seasons. Everything comes down to money with these networks as we know and it's fine to renew shows that no one is really remotely interested in, but a show that fans have a vested interest in year after year is just thrown on the scrap heap without a second thought to fans!
It is unbelievable how networks never take into account the shows that matter, the feelings of their viewers. Right now I'm really disgusted and disappointed that we never got to say a proper goodbye to the show. It may not have ended on a cliffhanger, but at least one more season would have prepared us for the inevitable. (Aside from the fact Channel Five chose to hold back season 9 until later in the year, instead of showing it in January or February like they used it.) It will be all the more poignant when it returns to UK screens for the airing of season 9 for the final time.
This was my favorite CSI show, hey I even wrote a book on season 1, I loved it that much! New York Minutiae: An Unofficial and Unauthorized Guide to CSI:NY

AJ Buckley tweeted: "Really can't believe it. So bummed." Which sums up the sentiments of all fans.
Great show while it lasted and will miss it immensely! Along with the cast: Gary Sinise, Sela Ward, Carmine Giovinazzo, Eddie Cahill, Hill Harper, AJ Buckley, Robert Joy. You done us proud!!
