Subject: Declining interest in CSI?

I notice we very rarely have posts about CSI any more and it's hardly an "appointment" show for me this season, although I've caught a couple of eps.
I'm wondering if most of the people here who have quit watching it have done so for the same reason I have: it seems that virtually every episode now has only one of two plots: 1.) A bizarre sex-related killing or 2.) a murder in which the killer is under the age of 18. Occasionally, during a sweeps month, they'll combine the two and have the murderer be a child under the age of 18 who was engaging in bizarre sexual practices.
I realize that a certain number of murders are sex-related, but I think a lot more occur as the results of robberies, drug deals gone bad, anger that gets out of hand, etc. And, while there are undoubtedly a few "killer kids" around, there are probably fewer people under the 18 who commit murder in the entire United States every year than they have in a single season of CSI.
The show's just become formulaic and predictable. I liked the early seasons where sometimes they were called in to investigate a "suspicious death" that actually turned out to be a suicide or accident, rather than a murder. And, when they did investigate a murder, there were a wide range of motives and a wide agespan among the perpetrators.
