Zuiker, and Ann Donahue, with the latter acting as show-runner. The series ended on April 8, 2012, after 10 seasons and 232 episodes.

Contents.Premise CSI: Miami follows a group of detectives assigned to the 's Crime Scene Investigations, an elite unit operating out of the (fictional) 'Miami Dade police headquarters, with its eerie blue light and flickering screens'.The team is led by Lieutenant Horatio Caine , who, through his history as a bomb-disposal expert, has gained specialized knowledge in explosive forensics. Horatio believes that 'evil is' and lives 'between the perpetrators of this evil and the people who try and come between that evil and the citizen'. David Caruso appears as Lieutenant Horatio Caine.In 2002, CSI executive producer Anthony Zuiker began casting for the then-unnamed Miami based spin-off. First cast was Emily Procter, as Calleigh Duquesne.

Regarding her decision to leave and join Miami, Procter stated that 'It was like choosing between a boyfriend that wants to be with you casually or a man that says I love you.' She described her character as 'a weird girl. bright and very nerdy.

She wears a lot of boot-cut corduroy pants and turquoise necklaces and looks like a hippie. I just like to pretend I'm Velma in Scooby-Doo.'

Adam Rodriguez, Rory Cochrane, and Khandi Alexander were cast alongside Procter, completing the supporting ensemble. For the lead, suggested David Caruso. Zuiker, who stated that he had 'heard about the NYPD Blue thing', was initially hesitant. Elaborating, Zuiker stated that he 'sort of jumped in and said, 'Naw, I don't know about this guy. The show's tough enough to get off the ground and I don't want to walk into any problems.' CBS president Les Moonves had announced in January that a Miami spin-off was imminent, yet 'It wasn't until we sort of, like, at the eleventh hour, really started to look at our options as to who was going to play Horatio, Zuiker, Mendelsohn, and Donahue revisited Caruso. And they said, 'Yeah, we'll have him come out for dinner, see what he's about.'

' Caruso was later cast as Caine. He was the last pilot cast member to be contracted to series.Following the back-door pilot, Zuiker stated that he believed the series 'needed a little more balance in terms of a leading woman'.

Executives offered the part of Megan Donner, a lieutenant and Horatio's former boss. Ward turned down the role, and producers later cast Kim Delaney.Ann Donahue described Delaney's casting as 'a no-brainer', stating that 'when Kim became available, we knew in a heartbeat that we wanted her.'

Zuiker elaborated, noting that 'Kim brings a level of maturity, a level of balance with David Caruso. We just felt we were missing something in the whole picture – we needed a strong female in the cast.' The New York Times reported that original lead Emily Procter would 'now follow Ms. Delaney in the credits.'

In late 2002, despite receiving excellent feedback from producers, Delaney departed the cast after ten episodes. CBS issued a statement noting that Delaney's character had become less integral to the series as it progressed, 'they had hoped to duplicate the sparks between William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger on the original CSI,' noted EW, but Delaney and Caruso's chemistry was lackluster. Delaney's departure allowed for 'younger Emily Procter's profile' to be raised to that of 'leading female'.Sofia Milos was cast in a recurring role to 'fill the void' supposed to have been created by Delaney's departure. In season three, Milos was promoted to series regular. Reported that Milos would depart after one season as a main cast member.

Also in the third season, Jonathan Togo was cast as Ryan Wolfe, a character created to replace an unnamed 'member of the CSI team' expected to 'die in the line of duty'. This cast member was later announced as Rory Cochrane.On April 10, 2006, Ann Donahue announced that recurring cast members Rex Linn and Eva LaRue were also joining the main cast, after recurring since season one, and season four, respectively.

The fourth main cast member to depart the series was Khandi Alexander, in the series' sixth season. Alexander was replaced by Megalyn Echikunwoke, who departed after a single season. Adam Rodriguez departed in season eight, though he returned in season nine.

They were very close, looking at them forensically, they were very close. It was an indiscernible difference. It was just a matter of looking at the schedule and what looked better'.

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.

The ratings had slipped significantly

In the 2011-12 TV season, which would prove to be its last year on the air, CSI: Miamiranked No. 27 out of all shows on broadcast TV. That's pretty good…but not so good for CBS, the most-watched network. It also represented a steady decline for the once-mighty crime drama. In its debut season, CSI: Miamiranked No. 11, and then spent four years in the top 10 before starting an annual ratings slide. One more year on the air, and it would've dropped out of the top 30 completely. Also not helping was its Sunday night timeslot: despite a lead-in from The Good Wife,CSI: Miami literally got killed in the ratings by NBC's Sunday Night Football.

It was getting too expensive to produce

Ironically, the longer a show runs and the more stable of a ratings draw it is, the more it becomes a target for cancellation, because long-running shows are more expensive to produce than newer ones. The longer a show stays on the air, the more contracts for all cast and crew members have to be renegotiated and re-signed, and various union laws require major pay raises for everyone involved. Sometimes, it's worth the production company and network's money—The Big Bang Theory, for example, has a main cast that earns $1 million per episode as it enters its tenth season—but that's the exception to the rule. Generally, the longer a show airs, their ratings decline—just like CSI: Miami. That means a network is paying more money for a show less people watch, and it's just not cost-effective.

It wasn't competitive anymore

At the same time it canceled CSI: Miami, CBS renewed the other CSI spinoff on the air at the time, CSI: New York. And CSI: Miami had better overall ratings than its Gotham-based counterpart. What gives? CSI: New York had helped turn the little-watched TV wasteland of Friday nights into a big draw for CBS. It brought in fewer viewers (but only a little) than CSI: Miami, but they were stellar, relatively speaking, for Friday night, and trailed only its lead-out, Blue Bloods, in the ratings. So CSI: New York lived because it was a big fish in a smaller pond, while CSI: Miami got lost in the shuffle.

It wasn't set in New York City

CBS has a long history of keeping shows on the air because it's cost effective to make them in pre-existing remote production facilities. For example, in 1980, the Hawaii-set Magnum, P.I. made it to air in part because the network could use the studios and crew they'd had in the area since 1968, for the production of Hawaii Five-O. Similarly, in 2012 CBS had a string of New York-based cop shows in production, and wanted to present them all in a single three-hour block on Friday nights (including CSI: New York, Blue Bloods, and CSI: Miami's ultimately short-lived replacement NYC-22). With those shows all produced in and around New York, there wasn't room left—either in the budget or the schedule—for a show set (but not filmed) in the far-off city of Miami.
