Long time fan. At first, I thought the loss of Mandy Patinkin was going to tank it. Later, when Thomas Gibson and Shemar Moore left, I surmised it would die out. The dynamic changed, but the show was still excellent.
Welcome back! Best of luck!

David Rossi is a good character, but Jason Gideon was better.
