"CSI: NY's" Gary Sinise likes to note that skylines aren't the only difference between his show and its CBS siblings. Take the overcoats, for instance. Such outerwear is not often seen on either of the other two crime-scene investigation shows, "CSI," set in Las Vegas, and "CSI: Miami," where it's downright steamy. 

"Obviously, we have a change of seasons so the look of our show changes from season to season," says Sinise, wearing, yes, an overcoat between scenes on a mild Southern California day. He plays Mac Taylor, who is the head of New York City's crime lab and has a penchant for quantum physics.

Nelly Furtado is not "promiscuous" in her role tonight on CSI: New York. Nor does she fly "like a bird."

But the camera absolutely, positively loves her. 

It's a big night for CTV, with Furtado's appearance on CSI: New York (10 p.m. EST, also on CBS), preceded by American Idol (9 p.m., also on Fox), which is preceded by the return of the enigmatic but compelling Lost (8 p.m.), which itself is preceded by a new Lost catchup show titled Lost Survival Guide (7 p.m.). The two Lost shows will air at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m....[CONTINUE]
