CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler and CBS head of scheduling Kelly Kahl did a press event Wednesday about the network's fall schedule.

CBS canceled "CSI: Miami" Sunday after 10 seasons, choosing to renew fellow spin-off and bubble show "CSI: NY" instead.

"We really liked 'The Mentalist' at 10 [on Sundays] and unfortunately that just meant 'Miami' was the odd man out."



Added Nina Tassler: "It was a very tough choice. It was almost a jump ball. It was just about servicing the schedule. 'Miami's' and 'NY's' costs were very close. ... It was a matter of looking at the schedule and what worked the best."

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation wasn't just a hit series, it was a cultural phenomenon that redefined the TV crime procedural for the 21st century. The show's first spinoff, CSI: Miami, gave viewers more sexy locations and sexy cops solving crimes with high-tech science equipment—and debuted with a big splash during the fall of 2002. As big a hit as the original show, CSI: Miami resuscitated star David Caruso's career and was still pulling in viewers when it was abruptly cancelled after 10 seasons—with no big final wrap-up episode—in 2012. Here's what went wrong.

I didn't like CSI Miami at all. I tried watching it a couple times, but couldn't warm up to Caruso at all. I did love CSI NY though because Gary Sinisi is one of my favorite actors of all times.

10 seasons is long enough for this sitcom, come on, people.
