CSI - Why was it pulled?

[airbolt]

They have been promoting this for ages - the season finale where Tarantino directs CSI . It was pulled - Was there something in the episode that was similar to the terrible events of thursday?

it was pulled due to the nature of some of the scenes and recent goings on in london i was gutted was really lookin forward to it

The main plot is concerned with someone being buried alive. I can only think they saw too much of a parallel between this and people being trapped on the underground.

Call me cynical, but consider if you were in charge of Channel 5 programming on an otherwise quiet Tuesday evening when you encounter a big anticipated viewer spike. Wouldn't you be tempted to stretch it to two weeks rather than just one, by 'postponing' the episodes at the last minute?

Just got the Daily Mail and they've printed the review iof the Tarantino episode claiming it was too late to pull it - that's not spoiling it for us csi fans!!!! Thanks Daily Mail.

I was looking forward to watching it, forgot it was on and got hooked onto Bad Girls instead. Boy am I glad it was pulled. At least now I can see it next week ;-)

Its clear why it was pulled after having watched it. Quite right too
