The CSI franchise is back in force this week after the rerun period, with all three incarnations premiering new instalments.
CSI: Miami's "Shootout" is the first cab off the rank at 10:00 p.m. on Monday, January 3. Here's how CBS describes the episode (via the Futon Critic):
When gang-related gunplay goes down in an emergency room, Horatio and the team must find the gang members responsible. The evidence suggests that an orderly in the hospital recognized the wounded gang member, who possibly killed one of the orderly's friends and alerted gang members to his location. However, the evidence doesn't match up and the CSIs discover that a cheating girlfriend, not gang retaliation, may be behind the shooting. Meanwhile, Ryan questions a mother in the E.R. after her story regarding her child doesn't add up.
Norberto Barba, whose credits include Medical Investigation and American Dreams, directed the episode, which was written by Miami story editor Corey Miller and producer Sunil Nayar.
"Shootout" will feature the following guest actors:
- Rex Linn as Det. Frank Tripp

At 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 5, the Big Apple CSIs split into three teams in CSI: New York's "Tri-Borough". The episode was directed by Children of Dune helmer Greg Yaitanes from a script by producer Eli Talbert and executive producer Andrew Lipsitz.
The team tackles a series of complicated investigations when murdered victims are found in three New York City boroughs. Mac and Stella investigate the murder of a young man found dead in a Brooklyn subway station. Although the victim was electrocuted, the train's third rail is not the likely culprit. Danny and Det. Maka (guest star Kelly Hu) examine the death of an art gallery owner whose final sale was a painting with mob ties that may have been forged. Meanwhile, Aiden and Det. Flack work on the mysterious death of a worker found dead on a construction site.
The episode's guest cast will include:
- Kelly Hu as Detective Kaile Maka
- Ray Abruzzo as Bob Galanis
- Jay Acovone as Paul Gianetti
- TJ Thyne as Ron Leatham
- Peter Giles as John James III
- Patrick Brennan as Will Galanis
- Carter Jenkins as Will Galanis

- Sean Vincent Biggins as Leo Whitefield
- Brad Prepon as Bill Lemakkia
- Noa Hegesh as Julie Galanis
- Eugene Collier as Working Man
- Derek Mears as Skinhead One
- Dennis Keiffer as Skinhead Two
- Freddy Bouciegues as Randy Hontz
Finally, the Las Vegas crime lab attempt to solve a murder that is far from elementary in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's "Who Shot Sherlock?" Scheduled at air at 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 6, the episode was written by David Rambo ("Butterflied") and technical adviser Richard Catalani and directed by CSI veteran Ken Fink.
The CSIs investigate the murder of a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast in his perfectly re-created Victorian Era Baker Street study. While the initial evidence leads the team to believe this was a suicide, Grissom discovers a clue that indicates the death was indeed murder. Meanwhile, Nick and Warrick investigate the death of a car accident victim who went over an embankment in the desert.
"Who Shot Sherlock?" will feature the following guest actors:
- David Berman as David Phillips

- Ted Rooney as Dennis Kingsley/Sherlock
