So I went to review oh_no_nicky, see what's around there, and wound up reading TONS of very good Gil/Nick fiction by podga (highly recommended), and

Dude! You know, even now, when I catch an old episode, I get all warm and tingly just thinking about the good old days, when Gil/Nick was at their peak, you know?
*hugs* Man, I wish we could draw more fans/writers to CSI. I'm not even sure what the show is like now -- I quit watching after season six, but the way it WAS.... ::sigh::
The characters are lovely, though I could never watch too many eps in a row, because the way the development of them was ignored by the producers pissed me off... Grave Danger and the next ep, Nick is totally fine again? Arrgh. It's a little weird, the lack of fandom? It's not like it's that unheard of a series.
It always surprised me that a show as popular as CSI -- HUGELY commercially popular, #1 show, enough to spawn two spin-offs -- was fannishly so tiny. All I can think is what others have said in the past: it's a cast with no clear slash pairing. My OWN theory -- I was just talking about this recently with a friend -- is that no show lacking a strong slash pairing, an obvious one, gains any good ground as a fandom. It's hard to think of an ensemble show without an obvious slash pair that succeeds/succeeded fannishly. That's not to say there was no fandom for it at all -- only that reaching the heights of, say, SPN, Sentinel, HP, etc., has never happened.
If pairings like Nick/Greg or Gil/Nick were that obvious, CSI would have done more than just blip the fannish radar. But while there are several fairly popular slash pairings, there's no real OTP. There's no equivalent of Sam/Dean, Jim/Blair, Harry/Draco, etc. CSI, to me, is the show that proves the rule. I can't think of any other really viable explanation. *shrug* Attractive,
