‘CSI’ Wins The Hour After Ratings Drop
The latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, “Tressed to Kill”, beat out the other scripted programming in its timeslot on Wednesday, February 8. The crime drama pulled in 10.88 million viewers according to the final ratings, which were adjusted down significantly from the preliminary ratings (11.44 million)—some local stations preempted the broadcast lineup to air the Duke vs UNC college basketball game, so this may have impacted the viewing numbers. These ratings were way down from Marg Helgenberger’s (Catherine Willows) final episode two weeks ago, but they still put CSI ahead of Revenge (7.70 million) and Law & Order: SVU (6.55 million). In the key 18-49 demographic prized by advertisers, CSI and Revenge tied for the top spot with a 2.5 rating/7 share for the hour. SVU came up short with a 2.0/5.

Interview: Brad Tanenbaum
Prior to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation‘s premiere in 2000, it’s safe to say viewers had no clue what the inside of a human body looked like–at least what it looks like after being struck by a bullet. Twelve years later, CSI has introduced viewers to a smorgasbord of fascinating and intricate technical shots, thanks in large part to Co-Producer Brad Tanenbaum. Since CSI‘s inception, Tanenbaum has helped mold the look of various visual effects seen on the show and, for the past several seasons, take on more of a commanding role serving as one of the show’s in-house directors. With his thirteenth credit coming up this Wednesday, Tanenbaum chats with CSI Files’ Shane Saunders about challenging effects, how technology on the show has changed, and tease his latest episode.
