CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
 |
Initial cast, pictured: (l to r): Nick Stokes (actor is George Eads), Greg Sanders (actor is Eric Szmanda), Sara Sidle (actress is Jorja Fox), Gil Grissom (actor is William Petersen), Catherine Willows (actress is Marg Helgenberger), Warrick Brown (actor is Gary Dourdan), Capt. Jim Brass (actor is Paul Guilfoyle) and Dr. Al Robbins (actor is Robert David Hall).
This series has two spin-offs:
CSI: Miami and CSI: New York.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is an innovative, fast-paced drama that follows a crew of forensic investigators on the appropriately named "graveyard" shift at the top non-FBI Forensics lab in the country, located in Las Vegas, as they solve crimes by analyzing evidence with advanced forensic tools. Many of the shows are loosely based on real-life events, police cases, and situations.
The crew, headed by Gil Grissom, the senior investigator and the shift supervisor devoted to finding the truth through the latest forensic methods combined with old-fashioned research and intuition. Alongside Gil is Catherine Willows, a single mother struggling to balance her home life with the rigors of her demanding job as Gil's second-in-comand; Warrick Brown, whose knowledge of the gambling world helps the Las Vegas based crew, even as his addiction to it occasionally gets him into troubles; Nick Stokes, a self-proclaimed ladies man with an objective to find the wrong-doers; and Sara Sidle, the newest, outspoken member who often lets her troubled past get in the way of her job. The crew works along side Captain Jim Brass, the former head of the graveyard shift turned captain; Greg Sanders, a quirky lab tech (later switching to a field operative); and medical examiner Dr. Al Robbins.
This cutting-edge drama recently began its 10th season on the air, and has been the number one scripted series for four years running, and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Changes introduced with/during the ninth season are the loss of three cast members (Gary Dourdan as Warrick Brown, Jorja Fox as Sara Sidle, and William Petersen as Gil Grissom) and the inclusion of another in the person of Dr. Raymond Langston(Laurence Fishburne), a medical doctor with an interest in forensic medicine, who decides to take a major pay cut and join the hands-on side of the job as a CSI. With the beginning of the tenth season, Jorja Fox rejoins the cast on a steady "guest starring" basis.

  Who thought science could be this entertaining?Rating: 4 likes, 1 dislikesWho thought science could be this entertaining? Not me. Science and I have never gotten along. Usually anything scientific becomes an instant bore-fest for me, but CSI is quite the opposite. The science and different forensic techniques used on the show are way cool and made me more interested in how a case is solved rather than the "whodunit" formula most crime shows follow.

Most watched show on TV?Rating: 1 likes, 2 dislikes Well is this a good show? I guess it must be since it is the most watched show on television apparently. The reason for that is the fact that it never gets old and there are ALWAYS new ideas. I mean, there's got to be at least 1349382 different ways that a person could be murdered. The characters are good, although there are some that I don't like. I love the way they do the reenactments of the murders to give you a feel for what really happened. Hopefully this show can keep it up. Read more Review posted on Friday, December 28th 2007 at 11:54 am |

Wow, Sorry to see her go.Rating: 0 likes, 1 dislikes I love this show ,I loved it when it came out then and still enjoy it now. Out of all CSI shows on, this one is the best. CSI is about the science and techniques behind the investigations, where as CSI NY is more about the people in the lab and CSI Miami which zips through the science portion as if the director or writers were all jocks.
