C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation - The Complete Third Season Specifications

Now firmly established as the top-rated television drama, by its third year CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a show positively glowing with confidence. Even when individual cases seem either too contrived or too easily resolved, the indefatigable night shift at the Las Vegas PD crime lab always look the part, solving conundrums and discovering microscopic damning evidence while, apparently, never shedding their own loose hair or skin cells all over the supposedly quarantined crime scenes. In reality, Catherine Willows's flowing blonde locks would contaminate any evidence she collected, but in the world of CSI only the bad guys leave body parts behind--the CSIs themselves are so good they're positively pristine.

The 23 episodes of season 3 on this five-disc set present more deliciously bizarre situations for the problem-solving sleuths: cannibalism, snuff movies, dwarfs, death while drag racing, bodies falling from the sky, and various dismemberments all tax the team's acumen. These are all double or multiple-case episodes, though in a characteristic trick of the writing sometimes apparently unrelated murders turn out to be connected (or vice versa, as in "Blood Lust," in which a road-accident victim is not what he seems, and the death of the driver at the hands of an angry mob is made all the more tragic). The mix of genuine forensic science with the glossiest Jerry Bruckheimer production values, plus the virtues of a good ensemble cast headed by William Peterson's modern-day Sherlock Holmes, remains as compelling as ever. --Mark Walker

C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete Ninth Season

C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation: The Complete Ninth Season Review

I've followed CSI ever since the pilot episode. Now nearly 11 years later, the show is still true to form and still as popular as it was when the show debuted on CBS. I'll admit, I didn't watch CSI the first four years it was on. It was only after I rented the DVDs from Netflix that I got hooked. I watched the first three seasons on DVD in under three weeks. I'd get a disc, watch it and send it back the same day I got it.

When the characters in the show started leaving for various reasons, I was afraid the show would 'jump the shark.' I was skeptical about the addition of Laurence Fishburne taking over the role of the departed Gil Grissom, but I was pleasantly surprised when he seemed to gel quickly with the veteran characters on the show.

I missed a lot of the 9th season due to different reasons so when I bought this a couple weeks ago, this was another instance of watching all the discs in one weekend and it reaffirmed to me that this show is still on top of it's game. Most shows over the years deviate from their roots. CSI has stayed true to their roots they planted in the first season and leading up until now. Fantastic show with fantastic storylines (albiet a bit unreal at times - my brother is a real life CSI and watches this show so he 'knows how the public thinks crimes are solved') with amazing actors.
