CSI’s Crossover Episodes Were Some Of The Franchise’s Best

More than a decade before squad - ups became the norm for shared universes , as seen with franchises like the Arrowverse or Netflix’sDefenders , CSIhad established a rich interconnected creation where a character from one show could always seem in the next one . Some of theseCSIcrossoverswere really backdoor pilots that inclose the case hearing would espouse in the next spinoff series , a strategy many show continue to use .
CSI : MiamiandCSI : NYhave both been out of the aura for over a 10 , whereasCSI : Cyber ’s cancelation was eight age ago .
Although the back door pilot burner were an interesting way to set upCSI ’s spinoffs , the actual crossovers bringing together characters viewers were already intimate with were the effective ones . For example , “ Felony Flight ” catch Horatio Cain and Mac Taylor team up to capture a serial orca . The episode , like most ofCSI ’s crosswalk , was the first of a two - part event that continue with “ Manhattan Manhunt . ” In " CSI : Trilogy , " witness got to see allCSIcrews teaming up for a three - part eventin what was arguably the height of the franchise ’s success as a share creation .
Every form of the originalCSIseries had at least one memorable team - up . The “ Grissom era , ” which refer to when Gil Grissom still led the Las Vegas lab , let in the backdoor pilot program forMiamiandNYas well as a crossover withWithout a Trace . The following seasons , which now had Ray Langston as one of the supporter , notably include the " CSI : Trilogy " crossing . finally , the D.B. Russel earned run average include theCSI / CSI : NYteam - ups " In Vino Veritas " and " Seth and Apep , " plus the backdoor pilot burner forCSI : Cyber .
CSI : Crime Scene Investigationran for 337 episode .
Will Other CSI Shows Ever Be Revived?
Miami, NY, and Cyber never got a revival
CSI : MiamiandCSI : NYhave both been out of the air for over a decade , whereasCSI : Cyber ’s cancelation was eight years ago . As a comparison , it took only seven years forCrime Scene Investigationto get a revival in the chassis ofCSI : Vegas , not to cite howCyberwas very much a sequel to the original serial in many ways .
