The perception from inside the film industry that television is trash is starting to loosen up, I think. 24 was possibly the most instrumental show in this regard--a major film actor leading a big-budget high-concept show.
I'd love to see Larry on CSI, but it's a shame Peterson is leaving. I do hope CSI doesn't do an ER, and keep plodding on long after any of the originals have scarpered. I used to love ER, but the cast turnover left me cold. You can tell I'm not the only one who feels that way--the front page of the NBC site for ER has a big "where are they now" section for the major former cast members!
