CSI's Ratings Drop Without Grissom

Are things just not the same without Grissom, CSI fans?

On Thursday, the first Grissom-less CSI was down 11% from the show’s season average.

Ratings dropped 26% in its key adult demo from last week’s big farewell Grissom episode.

However, a drop like this is sort of expected just after a main character departs, say experts.

But if the ratings continue to steadily decline in the coming weeks, the suits will start their freak out!
