The show isn't losing any stamina.  When a show is filmed using 'first
draft' scripts with no rewrites while filming, things look 'hazy'.
It's fine, it hasn't been Number One consistently since before the
whole Grisson/Sidle thing.

What planet do you live on?  Grissom has shown a few signs of missing
Sara, but he has not lost his focus.  BTW, it ain't reality, it's tv,
and if tptb decide that Grissom will remain a bit "absent-minded" then
he will stay that way.

I seem to remember that strike (88) lasted more like 22 weeks (nearly
5 1/2 months).  This season is probably kaput.  Having read some
postings by SAG members, about what exactly the networks and suits are
sitting on (a billion dollars a year from "new media" alone?), it's
gonna be a while.
