CBS TO ADD ANOTHER NIGHT OF ‘CSI’ TO FALL SCHEDULE
HOLLYWOOD (RPS)- CBS is seeking to add yet another CSI to its schedule in a bid to increase the network’s ratings on Friday nights. “It is increasingly hard to build an audience with an untested show,” noted network spokesman Rob Barrow, “So we’re going back to the well yet another time.”
Joining the original CSI and its spin-offs CSI: Miami and CSI: New York will be CSI: Bloomington. “We were eager to try a less glamorous city this time because it is really cheap to film in Bloomington,” announced series producer Jerry Bruckheimer, “We were more than happy to follow the network’s direction to save costs on this project and trust me that we won’t sacrifice anything that really matters.”
Heading the CSI: Bloomington team will be out of work actor Erik Estrada who was overjoyed at the news that he will be leading the eager group of CSIs. “This is a dream come true for me,” said Mr. Estrada, “I can taste that name brand cola right now!” The rest of the cast features a young cast made up of mostly child stars from the eighties who have had trouble finding work of late and included (as of press time): Fred (Wonder Years) Savage, Tina (Family Ties) Yothers and that scary robot girl from Small Wonder . “I look forward to working with these talented young actors,” noted Mr. Estrada, “I look forward to working, period.” When asked if he’d seen any of his cast members on their previous shows, Mr. Estrada commented that “Indeed I did- everyone was watching Family Ties and The Wonder Years when they first came on. I think I saw Small Wonder once while stranded in an airport terminal due to fog.”
