CSI Brings on the Waterworks Like It's Grey's Anatomy

I finally watched the season nine premiere of CSI last night. And it was oh so good. 

It was not good that Warrick (Gary Dourdan) died. But his sad (and exceptionally bloody) demise brought on the A-game from the rest of the cast. From Grissom's (William Petersen) panicked last few moments with Warrick, to Catherine's (Marg Helgenberger) hyperventilating, Greg's (Eric Szmanda) shock, and Nick's (George Eads) simmering sorrow and rage. I was moved to tears — though that's not too difficult — by the team's responses, especially at the funeral in the final moments of the episode. 

Seriously, how has this show only been nominated 5 times for non-creative arts Emmys? AND never won? It's a travesty. The show has been the number one on television for nearly nine years for a reason. 

Now I am all riled up .
