Crimetime Saturday

[citation needed] The first two hours feature reruns of CBS's crime drama procedural series, which over the years have included the four series of the CSI franchise, Criminal Minds, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Cold Case, Flashpoint (before its move to Ion Television), The Mentalist, Blue Bloods and FBI, with the final hour featuring a new or encore edition of the CBS News newsmagazine program 48 Hours, which focuses on true crime stories.Several times a year 48 Hours will air two-hour specials or consecutive episodes.In a few cases, burned off shows such as Made in Jersey have aired in the first or both hours to minimize ratings damage, along with a new episode of Vegas in mid-April 2013 pushed up by a night due to CBS News coverage of the apprehension of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect.[citation needed] The Crimetime block was re-reduced to two hours of Saturday night for the 2013–2014 season with the return of Comedytime Saturday, but returned for the full three hours in the 2014–2015 season after a reduction of CBS's comedy schedule.[citation needed] In the 2020–21 season and again in the 2021–22 season, Crimetime Saturday was reduced to 1 hour in June and July due to the Superstar Racing Experience (only 48 Hours aired during that time frame); the only other interruptions were burn offs and Love Island during that time frame.
