CSI: Vegas (Oct. 6, CBS)  

One year after CSI’s 20th anniversary, Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) are back. “It’s Groundhog Day,” says Fox, who teases “a crazy twist” involving Capt. Jim Brass (show vet Paul Guilfoyle). Brass’ connection to a crime prompts the pair to team up with the CSI lab’s new boss (Paula Newsome), new investigators (including Kingdom’s Matt Lauria), and old pals, such as lab tech David Hodges (Wallace Langham). It’s like old times for Sara and Gil — but, adds Fox, “We do see them stay in a swanky hotel they [previously] couldn’t afford!” —Lynette Rice
