MONDAY (5/5)

• Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:00):  (The script was written by CSI scribes.) “George Eads (CSI) has a cameo in which a CSI team investigates a death at Charlie’s house.”  I know Charlie wanted to stop Denise’s reality show, but this is quite a sweeps stunt.
• House (FOX, 9pm):  “House believes that an actor (Jason Lewis) on his favorite soap is seriously ill after observing his symptoms on television, so he decides to intervene.”  If I had known something like that would work, I would have kidnapped Smith Jerrod a long time ago.
• Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30pm):  “Sam’s affair with Todd continues while he’s still seeing a clueless Chloe.”  I’m sorry—why doesn’t Sam just kick her out of her apartment again?  She does own the thing, doesn’t she?
• CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm):  “Alexx is stunned when her son is the prime suspect in a murder investigation, and any help she offers could prove costly.”  Buh-bye, Khandi!

More Departures for CSI and Law & Order Franchises

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, CBS, NBC, News

Earlier this week, we told you CSI‘s Gary Dourdan would soon be saying goodbye to his role as Warrick Brown.  Now CBS will be looking to plug another hole in its hit franchise by next year.

According to TV Guide, actress Khandi Alexander is set to place her sunglasses down shortly.  Alexander, who has played Alexx Woods since 2002, will be leaving her medical examiner post by the end of CSI: Miami‘s sixth season.

Producers are expected to refill Khandi’s role.

Meanwhile, NBC is also in the middle of its second departure this week.  Just days after hearing Diane Neal would be replaced as A.D.A, we learning that Adam Beach will also be departing the Law & Order: SVU family.  Since Beach was only contractually obligated for one year, this latest news doesn’t come as a huge surprise.  He and the producers mutually agreed not to exercise his second season option.

SVU‘s creators do not plan to find Adam’s replacement.
