What to Watch Thursday, Feb. 26

'CSI' and 'Eleventh Hour'
(9PM & 10PM, CBS)
The theme for CBS' dramas tonight: Seemingly unrelated events that turn out to have quite a bit in common.

First up, 'Dukes of Hazzard' star and 'Smallville' papa John Schneider gets mixed up in the 'CSI' mess, as the crime scene investigators quickly surmise that three murders – an art dealer whose been beaten to death, a Hollywood woman who's been shot in a sleazy motel and a P.I. who was slain in a parking lot – are all tied together.

And on 'Eleventh Hour,' Hood has a hunch that when 30 people are killed when they're struck by lightning during one ten-minute thunderstorm, there's more than coincidence or really, really bad luck at play.
