The CSI team is hot on the trail of the miniature killer, an unsolved serial murder case that has been threaded through this entire season, in the seventh season finale of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," airing tonight at 9 p.m. on CBS -- and ET's THEA ANDREWS is in Las Vegas with the cast of the hit show to get the lowdown on whodunit.
"I was surprised," says WILLIAM PETERSEN, who plays Gil Grissom, of the identity of the killer. "I think the writers have done a brilliant job of moving this whole storyline through to its conclusion. It is pretty special for television. It is scary. It is fun. It is bizarre."
The CSI team shows up for a wedding and stays for a murder on tonight's episode of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," airing at 9 p.m. on CBS. The action begins when Grissom (WILLIAM PETERSEN), Nick Stokes (GEORGE EADS), Sara Sidle (JORJA FOX) and Captain Jim Brass (PAUL GUILFOYLE) attend a wedding at which the groom's mother is murdered.
"It is a fascinating, sort of character-driven, dark comedy which we rarely do," Jorja tells ET. "What we have is the case of a successful defense attorney, who has represented a lot of less than upstanding characters, who meets a very unpleasant demise at her son's wedding. We try to put the events together, who killed her and why. Of course, there is a twist at the end."
Things get a bit hairy for MARG HELGENBERGER, WILLIAM PETERSEN and their fellow "CSI" investigators as they find themselves in supernatural territory when they examine a homicide involving a werewolf -- or what they think is the mythical, furry beast!
On tonight's episode on CBS at 9 p.m., the gang is investigating the suspicious murder of a man who was covered head to toe in hair and found shot in the heart with none other than a silver bullet -- but that's just the first twist!
If it's Thursday night, it's tube time when "Survivor" and "CSI," two of the most popular TV shows on CBS are on, and over at UPN, they are featuring a new episode of their new hit sitcom, "Everybody Hates Chris."
On "Survivor: Guatemala -- the Maya Empire," both the Nakum and Yaxha tribes are sent to Tribal Council and have to vote a member out. But first the castaways compete for a food reward, which includes alcohol, because one member of the winning tribe gets drunk and becomes obnoxious. A grueling physical challenge pushes two castaways to the breaking point. And Tribal Council takes an interesting twist, when one of the survivors insults a member of his or her tribe and increases their chances of being voted off. "Survivor: Guatemala" airs on CBS at 8 p.m.
It's always something on "CSI," and now that the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" team is reunited, Grissom (WILLIAM PETERSEN) and Catherine (MARG HELGENBERGER) are working together on a case -- and what a case it is! The CSIs discover 11 bodies, but the question is: Is it mass suicide or mass murder?
The grisly discovery of the bodies is made when a suburban home on the edge of the Las Vegas desert is broken into. Following the evidence, Grissom and Catherine find an abandoned military compound that is the residence of a cult. The mystery begins when they discover 11 bodies, but 12 beds. Is the missing cult member a murderer or did he avoid a deadly fate?
The No. 1 crime drama on TV returns with all new episodes when "CSI" premieres its sixth season on Thursday, September 22 at 9 p.m. on CBS, and our JANN CARL has secrets from the set!
The entire cast -- WILLIAM PETERSEN, MARG HELGENBERGER, GARY DOURDAN, GEORGE EADS and JORJA FOX -- is back, and are happy to be reunited as a team after last year when Grissom's (Billy) team was in competition with Catherine's (Marg) team. That is until the end when the final episode, directed by QUENTIN TARANTINO, found them united in their search for the buried-alive CSI (Nick).
How do you top the season four finale of "CSI," directed by QUENTIN TARANTINO, in which Nick (GEORGE EADS) was buried alive with a Web cam? As he lays helpless, the CSI is swarmed and bitten by fire ants, whose sting can be deadly.
"You can throw bugs all over me and they don't bother me but, man, stinky milk," says George, who admits bad smells gross him out more than anything visual. "A coroner explained to me how lucky we are that we don't have to deal with the smell of a dead body. It is pretty horrible."
It is a race against death when "CSI" airs its two-hour finale, Thursday, May 19, at 8 p.m. on CBS. Nick Stokes (GEORGE EADS) is kidnapped and buried alive, and the CSI staff races the clock to save him before he runs out of oxygen. Academy Award® winner QUENTIN TARANTINO developed the story for this episode and directs. But you will have to watch to see if he survives the ordeal and if his fellow CSIs rescue him in time!
"In this setting it wasn't nearly as stressful as it would be for real," George tells ET's KEVIN FRAZIER when he drops by the set. "But mentally for a few days, I was in that box contemplating my death, which is something I stay away from. Quentin had me contemplating it hourly for three days. We really went down a pretty deep wormhole with the whole death thing and that was pretty strenuous after a while."
What's truth and what's fiction? That's the crucial question Grissom and Willows must answer on tonight's exciting episode of "CSI." Tonight on ET, we have a sneak peek inside the shocking show!
On tonight's episode "Who Shot Sherlock," (CBS, 9 p.m. ET), the Las Vegas crime scene investigators delve into a good old fashion murder mystery when a Sherlock Holmes enthusiast is found dead in his impeccably re-created Victorian Era Street study. Although the team's first instinct is that it was a suicide, Grissom (WILLIAM PETERSEN) discovers key evidence that may prove the death was, in fact, a malicious murder.
Extreme sports legend EVEL KNIEVEL is in the Guiness Book of World Records for having broken 35 bones during his daring motorcycle career, which included a 150-foot long jump over the fountains at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in 1968, and clearing 50 cars stacked four deep at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1973.
On tonight's ET, we take a look at the two-hour movie on the life of the daredevil, starring "CSI"'s GEORGE EADS as Knievel, JAIME PRESSLY as his wife LINDA and BEAU BRIDGES as his father-in-law JOHN BORK. "Evel Knievel," which premiered Friday night, encores on Saturday, July 31 at 9 p.m, and on Sunday, August 1 at 8 p.m. on TNT.
