The inside word on the networks' new and returning primetime series

10-11PM · CBS · Returns Sept. 24

Bucking the trend of crime shows that focus solely on the workplace, exec producer Pam Veasey says for season 5, ''we decided we would bring the audience into moments when [the characters] go home. We're introducing relationships like brothers and sisters'' — specifically, the bad-girl sister of Eddie Cahill's Detective Flack, who'll be played by Kathleen Munroe. Veasey says CSI: NY wants ''to be very hip, very youthful, very contemporary, so Maroon 5 open up our second episode, performing. And we have Nelly in our episode 3, playing a confidential informant.'' Yep, nothing says ''hip'' like Maroon 5 and Nelly!
