Summary: 5 Stars
What a great show this is, with Gil Grissom, Catherine, Nick, Sara, Warrick, Brass, among great writing and stories.
This was the beginning of what may be the best show ever on television and is is still going strong.
DVD Review: Loved it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am glad I got the first season. I had thought I had started watching it from the beginning, but I was wrong. It was nice to see everything "from the beginning". They introduce all the characters and they give you a good idea of what the characters lives at home or away from work is.I recommend it for all CSI lovers!DVD Review: A game-changing show
Summary: 5 Stars
It is hard to understate the effect "CSI" had on television - one need only see how many spinoff and imitating series have appeared on TV since its debut. "CSI" features a great ensemble cast - all the actors are good, but together they are superb - who play characters that are each unique and uniquely human. The stories are compelling yet believable, occasionally throwing the characters into an ethical or moral dilemma. Many say "The Sopranos" was the greatest show of our generation, and that may be, but "CSI" truly changed the landscape and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath.DVD Review: great stories, overly gory
Summary: 4 Stars
Love the interesting stories and the characters; plots, pacing, and suspense are all great; but the series is overly gory, ER is mild in comparison. That's one reason I like the dvds so well, I can fastforward right through the gory parts, plus miss the commercials; or rather, I don't miss them. Like the fact that the film stars in this series don't consider it beneath them to do a tv series. The mix of personality is good in this, would probably like a little more love interest stories added to this, but that's from a gal's perspective.
Description of C.S.I. Crime Scene Investigation - The Complete First Season
Based on real life Las Vegas crime scene investigators, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION follows the team as they solve chilling cases with innovative thinking and methodical scientific inquiry. Tackling cases peppered with grisly details, the Las Vegas PD Criminalistics Division is the #2 crime lab in the U.S., solving crimes that practically every other crime lab has given up on. Set in a town whose reputation for providing instant success for those willing to try their luck, CSI finds that the constant influx of visitors to the city that never sleeps also provides ripe targets for criminals of all varieties. The show also stars Paul Guilfoyle as Capt. Jim Brass, Robert David Hall as Dr. David Robbins and Eric Szmanda as Greg Sanders.DVD Contents:

Murder, and its tale-telling aftermath, is the compelling subject of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Since it premiered on CBS on October 6, 2000, CSI was a ratings triumph, spawning a spinoff (CSI: Miami) and positioning itself for long-term success. As the first season demonstrates, creator Anthony Zuiker's foolproof formula was established early on, bolstered by a fine ensemble cast and requiring minimal tweaking as the season progressed; its Las Vegas-based "criminalists" eventually became "CSI" steeped in the scientific minutiae of forensic investigation, but the series arrived essentially intact, with an irresistible (and seemingly inexhaustible) supply of corpses and the mysteries that surround them. Influenced by the graphic precedent of movies like Seven and Kiss the Girls, CSI matches morbidity with dispassionate methodology; viewers are so fascinated by the investigative process that they're unfazed by intimate autopsies and internal (i.e., digitally animated) views of traumatized flesh, bone, and sinew.
While keeping abreast of cutting-edge technologies, CSI combines the ingenuity (and fallibility) of villains with the appealing humanity of its heroes. CSI director and entomologist Gil Grissom (played by series coproducer William Petersen) is introverted but ethically intense; he's both mentor and moral compass for his night-shift team, including a former stripper-turned-CSI (Marg Helgenberger); a recovering gambler (Gary Dourdan); an eager ace (George Eads) with room for improvement; a workaholic (Jorja Fox) who can't always remain emotionally detached from her cases; and a chief detective (Paul Guilfoyle) who's a necessary link to police procedure. Like The X-Files, CSI supports its characters with feature-film production values, employing a Rashomon structure that turns murder into a progressively accurate study of cause and effect. Script quality is consistently high ("Blood Drops" and "Unfriendly Skies" are exceptional), direction is slick and sophisticated, and the mysteries are complex enough to invite multiple viewings. Despite a regrettable shortage of DVD features, CSI's inaugural season remains addictively worthy of its lofty reputation. --Jeff Shannon
