Catherine was a bad boss, and she covered up actual murder! Saaaaair ah was annoying as fuck, and her GSR bogged down the show (hence [my thread that she murdered Grissom and kept his corpse in a chair in her living room](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gil-grissoms-dessicated-corpse/931285), so they could always be together!) Warrick was annoying after about season 4, and Lawrence Fishburn was a stupidly thought out character, and Liev Schreiber’s corrupt CSI could have been a great addition.
