CBS interrupted the last five minutes of last night's episode of CSI:NY to announce that Arafish was finally (really most sincerely) dead. Of course, it was a good episode, mind you.

Well, CBS is going to repeat the entire episode tomorrow night at 10.

CBS will rebroadcast the Wednesday night episode of "CSI: NY" that was interrupted by a news report of Yasser Arafat's death.

Viewers in some parts of the country missed the last few minutes of the popular crime drama because of the Arafat report. The program will be shown again Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

CBS issued the following statement: "An overly aggressive CBS News producer jumped the gun with a report that should have been offered to local stations for their late news. We sincerely regret the error."

1 Arabrat has a lot to answer for as we all do. However, my sins are covered by a Jew from Nazareth. Really enjoy your blog, keep up the good work!

2 critizing arabs or muslims is so politically incorect that no one wants to tell the truth that he is a terrorist and that the muslims have no claim to jerusalem dont mention it in their bible and have built a mosque on top of a jewish holy site which is documented by history

3 CSI "Las Vegas" is MUCH better than any of the spinoffs.

6 And now the producer's been canned. Just think what they would have done to someone who had peddled phony documents and destroyed their news division's credibility!
