The number of new episodes has dwindled down to one.

CSI: Miami aired a repeat of "Bang, Bang, Your Debt" this past Monday at 10:00pm EST, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation will air a repeat of "Lying Down With Dogs" on Thursday at 9:00pm EST. With the first two series in full repeat mode as the writers' strike continues, CSI: New York is the only member of the franchise with a new episode to air: "Playing With Matches", which airs tonight at 10:00pm EST:

: A drowning victim falls out of a self-cleaning restroom and what first looks like a freak accident turns into foul play and the CSIs must investigate the hows and whys of the case.

This is the fourth episode of New York directed by Christine Moore. Her most recent episode for the show was "Down the Rabbit Hole" earlier this season. "Playing With Matches" was penned by Bill Haynes, who has four previous CSI: NY writing credits to his name. "Comes Around" in season three was Haynes' most recent episode.

The following actors and actresses will guest-star in "Playing With Matches":

Robert Joy as Dr Sid Hammerback
Emmanuelle Vaugier as Jessica Angell
Bess Wohl as Kendall Novack
Jason Chambers as Mercury
Nicole Lenz as Concrete Cowgirl/Sandra
Reid Scott as Seth Riggins
Aaron Behr as Vinnie Parson
Brad Graiff as Attorney
Christopher Bello as John Szabo

Robert Joy, Emmanuelle Vaugier and Bess Wohl are reprising established recurring roles. Nicole Lenz appeared in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Formalities" during the show's fifth season. Reid Scott was also on the original CSI during season five, guest-starring in "Snakes".

"Playing With Matches" airs February 6 on CBS.

Why can't the CSIs get dates?

	All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
	It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
	Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
	These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
	They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
	Three words: Hank the Skank.
