Gary Dourdan’s CSI Case Closed

Crime scene investigation no longer pays for Gary Dourdan.  

The CSI star, who has been with the ratings-grabbing CBS franchise since its 2000 debut, has chosen not to renew his contract, paving the way for his character’s exit on the upcoming season finale.
 
According to TV Guide, which first reported the news of Dourdan’s departure, it was the star who informed producers that he would be leaving the show rather than the other way around.
 
No timetable for his exit has been announced, but his contract is set to expire next month, making the show’s May 15 finale the likeliest venue for Warrick Brown’s final bow.
 
The network, meanwhile, is refusing to discuss the shake-up.

  1. I DONT GET HEATED BY MUCH BUT THIS REALLY BURNS ME UP!!!!
    THE LAST TIME I CHECKED HBO WASNT PBS. YOU HAVE TO PAY TO WATCH WHICH MEANS NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO WATCH BUT ANY RESPONSIBLE PARENT HAS THAT CHANNEL LOCKED SO THAT THEIR KIDS CANT ACCIDENTALY WATCH. SENSORING NETWORKS IS THE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO, NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO HEAR OR SEE EVERYTHING THATS OUT THERE. !!!THATS WHY WE HAVE HBO, SHOWTIME, TMC, STARZ, AND CINIMAX!!! HAS ANYONE EVER TURNED ON CINIMAX AFTER HOURS? HOLY CRAP!!! AND THEY ARE WORRIED WHAT EFFECT ONE GUYS OPINION MIGHT HAVE ON THE WORLD!! AT LEAST THEY ARE CLOTHED!! IT AMAZES ME THAT ONE IS LESS OFFENSIVE THAN THE OTHER. I THINK THEY GIVE MAHER MORE THOUGHT THAN EVEN HE WOULD THINK HE DESERVES!! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO “STICKS AND STONES” AND AGAIN, YOU HAVE A CHOICE. IM AS OFFENDED THAT THEY BELIEVE THEY CAN CONTROL MY HBO AS THEY WOULD BE IF “REAL TIME” AIRED ON FOX. I LIKE BILL MAHER. I KNOW, AND MY WIFE (WHO IS RELIGIOUS) KNOWS BILL MAHER’S OPPINION ON RELIGION AND IF YOU INTEND TO WATCH YOU WILL, AT SOME POINT, BE OFFENDED. WETHER ITS RELIGION, POLITICS, OR WHATEVER THE SUBJECT MAY BE, HE WILL GET UNDER YOUR SKIN. THATS WHY WE WATCH!!! THATS HIS JOB!!! THATS WHY YOU PAY TO SEE!!!! RATINGS, AND HBO, GOVERN THE SHOWS FATE AND IT IS ON HBO SO THE SENSORS CANT. HERE IS AN IDEA, LETS ALL GO TO A RESTAURANT WE DONT LIKE, STAND IN LINE, ORDER FOOD WE DONT WANT TO EAT, BITCH ABOUT IT THE ENTIRE TIME, THEN AT THE END SAY “WOW, I DIDNT EXPECT TO HATE IT LIKE THAT” I HATE TO SOUND LIKE IM BEATING A DEADC HORSE BUT !!”YOU HAVE A CHOICE”!!

    LASTLY. IT HAS BEEN A WHILE BUT THE LAST TIME I CHECKED THE CATHOLIC RELIGION WAS ONE OF THE RICHEST NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD. MY UNCLE GIVES IN EXCESS OF $200,000 A YEAR TO THE CHURCH AND FOR WHAT?, TO BELONG? EVERY SUNDAY, WHEN WE WERE KIDS WE WOULD PUT $5-$10 IN THE COLLECTION PLATE AT A MIDWESTERN, SMALL, HOLE IN THE WALL CHRISTIAN CHURCH, IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT WAS HOW WE HAD ELECTRICITY EACH SUNDAY. CHURCHES SHOULD GIVE WHAT THEY GET, MINUS WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON, FIGURATIVLEY SPEAKING. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AS A WHOLE SETS A BAD EXAMPLE BY FURTHERING THE CHURCH, THEN GOD! WITH THE LDS CHURCH FOLLOWING IN CLOSE 2ND PLACE! THE PROBLEM WITH RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IS THAT THEY ARENT RUN BY GOD HIMSELF BUT BY PEOPLE. PEOPLE WHO ARE OFTEN MISGUIDED AND CORRUPTABLE. LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS, JESUS WANDERED THE WORLD TEACHING WITH LITTLE MORE THAN GOD TO PROVIDE FOR HIM. EACH TIME THE POPE TAKES THE STAGE TO SPEAK HE HAS A SOUND AND LIGHT CREW THAT RIVALS THAT OF AN “AMERICAN IDOL” FINALLY EPISODE AND ENOUGH ROADIES TO MAKE ANOTHER “LORD OF THE RINGS” MOVIE. THAT CANT BE CHEAP!!!!!
    ILL BUY A LOTTO TICKET TODAY AND HOPE I WIN BASED ON THE SAME FAITH YOU HAVE IN RELIGION AND AT LEAST ILL HAVE MY ANSWER IN A FEW MINUTES. YOU CAN LOOK DOWN ON ME WITH PITTY AND SAY “ILL PRAY FOR YOU” AND ILL LOOK AT YOU AND PITTY YOU FOR WASTING PRECIOUS TIME! ANY BELIEF THAT CAN ENCOURAGE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO DO THE “RIGHT THING” CANT BE ALL BAD AND FOR THAT IM GRATEFUL AS A HUMAN BEING. BUT TO TELL ME YOU “KNOW THE ANSWER” IS A LIE!! YOU MAY, HOWEVER, BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER, ITS A SHAME WE WILL ALL HAVE TO DIE TO FIND OUT!!!

    P.S. I FOUND BILL MAHER’S OPPINION ON HOW COW FARTS ARE AS MUCH RESPONSIBLE FOR GLOBAL WARMING AS THE CITY BUS THAT SPEWS TOXINS INTO THE AIR MORE OFFENSIVE THAN HIS VIEW ON RELIGION. TALK ABOUT COMPARING A GUNSHOT WOUND TO A PAPER CUT……

    THANKS
    JOSH
