Countdown Begins 12/11/08

Laurence Fishburne arrives at CSI on 12/11/08, and the countdown begins for Grissom's departure. CBS unveiled their plans Thursday night during CSI. They are touting it as a new era -- if you will -- of CSI. The still of Fishburne is almost Supermanesque. Not to worry though, William Petersen will remain on the show as planned till the end of this season. Of course this change could spell the end of the show according to an AOL poll of viewers. You can find a synopsis of Fishburne's first episode here.
