Grissom’s Departure Drew Big Numbers
The departure of one of TV’s well-loved characters in a crime series drew big numbers last Thursday. Some 24.25 million people watched as Grissom leaves his lab in Las Vegas, bids a polite farewell to Catherine, his partner at work, and rushes South America to be with the one he loves, Sara.
Did you watch that episode and did you love the way they put closure on Grissom’s character?
According to CBS, this episode drew the highest in any scripted show for this season.
William Petersen, who plays Grissom, has been replaced by Laurence Fishburne, who has been working in the lab with him for a while now. And he isn’t exactly a so-so actor.
Will Fishburne draw the numbers week after week, much like how Petersen and the original cast did for the last nine seasons?
