Here&#8217;s the quote from Petersen:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This movie happened very fast. We didn\u2019t have much time to really cogitate about it. They put us in a little bit of bind, cramming it together and getting it done. But that\u2019s appropriate because that\u2019s how it was when we first created the drama in the first place. Nobody had a template for it. It wasn\u2019t one of those shows from <b>Aaron Sorkin<\/b> or <b>David Chase<\/b> where someone had been thinking about this for 10 years and knew exactly how they wanted it to be. Creator <b>Anthony Zuiker<\/b> had never done TV before. Even [then CBS Entertainment president and now CBS Corp. chairman] <b>Les Moonves<\/b> was like, \u2018I don\u2019t get it, you are going to dust for fingerprints? That\u2019s the show?\u2019 Well, yeah. Right off the bat, it was all about the evidence. It can be cool. We always talked about how much of a kismet it was. It was the right idea, at the right time, with the right people, at the right place and we weren\u2019t bothered by anybody. The network left us alone because they didn\u2019t think it would be much of a deal. They put us on at 9 on Friday nights. Nobody really knew what we were doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nAnd here are two tweets, including a reminder about Wednesday&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/2015\/08\/csi-paleyfest-screening-changed-to-september-16\/\" target=\"_blank\">PaleyFest tribute<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Finale is entering its final touches.
