The Big Picture

CSI: Miami delighted many fans over the course of ten seasons, and now CBS is currently working on a project that will include cases from real life. According to Deadline, the network is developing The Real CSI: Miami, a docuseries that will explore real-world crimes and the forensic science that helped solve them. The premise of the CSI franchise always includes different ways in which the detectives use technological equipment and their own instincts to solve what actually happened to the victims they are trying to help.

The Real CSI: Miami will be produced by Anthony Zuiker, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Magical Elves. The project will be in good hands, considering Zuiker created the franchise and Bruckheimer has served as a producer for some of the titles under the brand before. The docuseries is currently scheduled to premiere on June 26, officially becoming a part of the network's summer schedule. As the CSI franchise continues to expand, The Real CSI: Miami opens the door for similar projects to spawn under the banner, with George Cheeks, the CEO of CBS, adding during a press conference: "That franchise is very much alive and vibrant, and you could imagine it coming back in many different ways."

CSI: Miami followed the team led by Lieutenant Horatio Caine (David Caruso), the fearless officer who constantly dropped one-liners before The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" arrived with the show's intro. Some of the team's most famous members included Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter), Erick Delko (Adam Rodriguez), and Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander), as everyone worked together to protect the community of Miami from a wide variety of dangerous criminals. CSI: Miami premiered in 2002, and it was the first direct spin-off of the main show, which took place in Las Vegas.

The story of CSI: Miami might have come to a close more than a decade ago, but that doesn't mean the franchise came to an end. The Real CSI: Miami will lead a new era for the IP now that the flagship television series and its spin-offs have solved their final case. CSI: Vegas marked the return of Gil Grissom (William Petersen), with the new story serving as an epilogue for the franchise's flagship title. The reboot was cancelled after three seasons.

The Real CSI: Miami premieres on CBS on June 26. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Summary

CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach discusses the network's decision to cancel its shows NCIS: Hawai'i and CSI: Vegas. Both shows are spinoffs of already successful franchises, with Vegas serving as the fifth show in the CSI franchise as a revival of the original, and Hawai'i being the fourth spinoff of the NCIS franchise. The shows were both putting up decent numbers for the network, but CBS made the unexpected decision to cancel them.

According to reports from The Wrap, Reisenbach confirmed that neither show will be returning for a fourth season, while CEO George Cheeks cited the overall performance of both, as well as finances, as the principal reasons for them being canceled. This is also why they cannot transition into Paramount+ originals. The news comes despite CBS reporting that it will end the 2023-24 season as the most watched broadcast network in primetime for a staggering 16th season. Read Reisenbach and Cheeks' comments below:

Reisenbach: It is incumbent on us to always keep the schedule fresh [and] keep momentum going. We had to make some really tough choices this year, everything came back really strong.

Cheeks: Budgets are challenged, so we dont have an unlimited amount of slots on Paramount+.

The success and existing legacy of the franchise makes CSI: Vegas' surprising season 4 cancellation all the more shocking, while NCIS: Hawai'i's cancellation leaves a frustrating unfinished storyline for audiences. Reisenbach's explanation for the decision rings somewhat hollow, especially considering the fact that the viewing figures for both shows were pretty strong. It is more likely the network felt a need to clear the roster to give upcoming shows a chance.

CBS has several high-profile newcomers on the way, including a Matlock reboot and another NCIS offshoot, the Gibbs prequel Origins.

Audiences hoping for some kind of change of decision should not hold their breaths, as the network ruled out the possibility of a SWAT-style reversal, where a cancelled show is instead revived due to viewer outcry. This could be a move by CBS to try to reinvent itself from a position of strength, clearing the slate for the 2024-25 season, which so far seems to be grounded in IP the network strongly believes in.

As for the NCIS and CSI franchises, they face two different futures following the cancelations of Hawai'i and Vegas. CSI has no ongoing spinoff shows, but The Wrap's report reveals there is one in "active development." Meanwhile, NCIS as a franchise is still going strong, with the original series currently in season 21, NCIS: Sydney recently renewed for a season 2, and two other spinoffs set to begin production in the coming months. CBS will be hoping the new broadcast season is as successful as the last, despite the cancelations it has made.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) The Huntsville Police Department says its eight-person crime scene investigation team has worked in cramped quarters for years. However, a new 14,000-square-foot building is on the way to provide relief for the team.

The Huntsville City Council approved the buildings construction at their meeting Thursday evening.

The City of Huntsville says the building, which will be constructed on Wheeler Avenue across from HPD headquarters, will include labs, offices, evidence processing areas and vehicle processing bays.

We have the advanced technology in place for crime scene analysis, but we need dedicated space to be more efficient and process evidence faster, said Police Chief Kirk Giles.

The project also includes a 13,500-square-foot, climate-controlled vehicle and evidence storage facility.

The law requires us to hold evidence for years, and in some cases in perpetuity, said Investigator Jeremy Phipps. The new warehouse will allow us to meet legal storage requirements for decades to come.

Phipps added that the new CSI facility will meet the departments need for growth, saying that the additional space will allow for more room to work more than one case at a time while protecting evidence from cross-contamination.

The City says the $9.7 million project is expected to begin in the late spring and take a year to complete.

Ozzy Osbournes place in music history has been solidified, as he and Black Sabbath are often credited as the first heavy metal band. Releasing 19 studio albums over five decades, the Prince of Darkness has won two Grammys (plus a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award), influenced countless of the most well-known bands in the genre and, you know, bit the head off of a bat. His eccentric personality and wild look made him the perfect choice for several great TV and movie appearances over the years, and here are 10 of the best.

While the Black Sabbath frontman has been known to portray characters lending his voice to several animated projects Ozzy Osbourne is a character in and of himself, and many of his best offerings feature the Godfather of Metal just being Ozzy.

Adam Sandler boasts a pretty impressive catalog of projects that span multiple genres, but the 2000 action comedy Little Nicky is not considered one of his greatest. It still has developed a cult following over the years for its ridiculously devilish story and bevy of celebrity cameos. One of the famous faces to make an appearance is Ozzy Osbourne, who Nicky summons after his brother Adrian (Rhys Ifans) transforms into a bat. You can imagine where things go from there.

Rent or buy Little Nicky on Amazon Prime Video.

Years before the Kardashian-Jenner bunch became the royal family of reality TV, America fell in love with The Osbournes. The MTV series captured what it was like to live with Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon and two younger children, Jack and Kelly. The show lasted for four seasons and made household names of all of them, but more importantly it gave us a different perspective on the Prince of Darkness. It was hilarious to see Ozzy bumbling around helplessly, calling out for, Sharon!

The Osbournes is not available to stream or buy, but you can stream their 2020 series The Osbournes Want to Believe on Max.

Mike Myers got in on The Osbournes craze back in the early aughts in the third movie of his shagadelic trilogy, Austin Powers in Goldmember. Repeating a bit from the 1999 sequel that involved a phallic-shaped rocket, Goldmember features Dr. Evil shooting down a satellite shaped like a pair of breasts. An amusing montage of double entendres ensues, eventually cutting to Ozzy shouting, Boobs! He then explains to his family members sitting next to him that the Austin Powers filmmakers are boobs because they already used that joke in The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Howard Sterns autobiographical film Private Parts featured a number of celebrity cameos, and while Ozzy Osbourne only uttered a single sentence in the film What a fucking jerk. it remains one of the 1997 flick's most quoted lines.

The sequel to the DreamWorks animated hit Trolls highlighted a number of different genres of music, and that means there were some big names in the Trolls World Tour voice cast, including Mary J. Blige, J Balvin, Kelly Clarkson, George Clinton and, of course, Ozzy Osbourne. The Black Sabbath frontman voiced King Thrash, the retired king of hard rock, with the effects of his wild rock star lifestyle made evident through Osbournes signature nonsensical mumbling and his use of a motorized wheelchair, aka his mobile throne.

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath premiered the second single off their reunion album 13 during an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. In the Season 13 episode Skin in the Game, Ted Dansons D.B. Russell and Marc Vanns Conrad Ecklie attend a Black Sabbath concert while investigating a string of murders. On stage the band sings End of the Beginning, before the singer sits down with one of the suspects for an interview. The interviewer mentions that theyve spoken before, back in 1986, to which Ozzy hilariously replies that he doesnt remember not just the conversation, either, but the entirety of 1986.

Ozzy Osbourne has made a few stops in the world of professional wrestling, even becoming a celebrity inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021. Hes also one of several celebrities who have appeared in WrestleMania managing the British Bulldogs as they secured the World Tag Team Championships at the 1986 pay-per-view event. In November 2009, he and wife Sharon Osbourne served as guest hosts on WWE Raw, where they did a spin on Sharons gig as a judge on Americas Got Talent and turned the ring into a judges table for Raws Got Talent.

Talk about playing off-type! Ozzy Osbourne may be known for portraying himself in many of his TV and movie appearances, but the 1986 comedy horror Trick or Treat brilliantly cast the Prince of Darkness in a role nobody would expect a TV evangelist. Its hilarious to watch the Rev. Aaron Gilstrom clutch his proverbial pearls at suggestive song lyrics and proclaim that the rock stars have to be stopped!

Stream Trick or Treat on Screambox.

Two things you may not think about when it comes to the Godfather of Metal are animated deer and Shakespeare, however, those worlds collided in Gnomeo & Juliet, the animated reimagining of Romeo & Juliet. Ozzy Osbourne voices Fawn, the miniature deer statue and best friend of Tybalt.

Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed came to fame in the 1990s as the Jerky Boys comedy duo, who developed a following for making prank phone calls. After a couple of comedy albums, the duo made a movie, appropriately titled The Jerky Boys: The Movie. Ozzy Osbourne makes an appearance as the manager for the band Helmet. Johnny and Kamal convince the manager that theyve replaced two roadies who left to go on tour with The Monkees. Say what you will about the movie overall, but Ozzys utter disbelief that he got shunned for the fuckin Monkees?! is pretty funny.

Rent or buy The Jerky Boys: The Movie on Amazon Prime Video.

Whether you prefer Ozzy Osbourne behind the microphone or in front of the camera, theres no denying that the Prince of Darkness can entertain, as hes been doing so for half a century now.
