NEW YORK (AP) – CBS is ending its long-running hit “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” next fall with a two-hour finale, and star Ted Danson will move to the spinoff “CSI: Cyber.”

Television’s most popular network will bid goodbye to one of its most pivotal hits on Sept. 27.

CBS will introduce four new programs in the fall, including the uncharacteristic comic-book based “Supergirl” and a comedy with Jane Lynch as a less-than-saintly guardian angel.

CBS is the most-watched network for the seventh year in a row.
