Template:Infobox TV ratings Template:Two other uses CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (commonly referred to as CSI or CSI: Las Vegas) is a popular, Emmy Award-winning CBS television series that trails the investigations of a team of Las Vegas forensic scientists as they unveil the circumstances behind mysterious and unusual deaths and crimes committed. First aired in October 2000, the show has since spawned two spinoffs, each enjoying their own success. The first spin-off, which debuted in September 2002, is set in Miami (CSI: Miami) and the show's second is set in New York City (CSI: NY) debuted in September 2004. CSI is produced in partnership with the Canadian media company Alliance Atlantis. On May 16, 2007, CBS renewed the show for an eighth season. Season 8 began production in July and began airing on Thursday September 27,2007.
Premise
The show follows the cases of the Crime Scene Investigation division of the Las Vegas Police Department, usually referred to by officers as the "Las Vegas Crime Lab". Anthony E. Zuiker chose to set the series in Las Vegas because—as mentioned in the pilot episode—that city's crime lab is the second most active in the United States, after the Federal Bureau of Investigation lab in Quantico, Virginia.[1] The division solves crimes almost entirely through the means of forensics evidence, which may or may not come to the conclusion of a murder or accidental death. Keeping in theme with the setting, investigations often lead to taboo subjects, such as sexual deviations. The bizarre conclusions of these cases often force one to question morals and beliefs and possibly human nature in general.
Style
Stylistically, the show has drawn favorable comparisons to Quincy and The X-Files. The show's gadgets and occasional usage of yet-to-be-invented technology have moved the show nominally into the genre of science fiction and garnered it a 2004 Saturn Award nomination for best network television series. The series also occasionally lapses into the realm of fantasy, such as a 2006 episode, "Toe Tags" which is told from the point of view of several corpses in the CSI lab who reanimate and discuss their deaths with each other.
The series is known for its unusual camera angles, percussive editing techniques, hi-tech gadgets and vehicles (the GMC CSI Mobile Analysis Unit), detailed technical discussion, and graphic portrayal of bullet trajectories, blood spray patterns, organ damage, methods of evidence recovery (e.g. fingerprints from the inside of latex gloves), and crime reconstructions. This technique of shooting extreme close-ups, normally with explanatory commentary from one of the characters is referred to in the media as the "CSI shot". Many episodes feature lengthy scenes in which experiments, tests, or other technical work is portrayed in detail, usually with minimal sounds effects and accompanying music — a technique reminiscent of Mission: Impossible. Often the lighting, composition, and mise-en-scene elements are heavily influenced by avant-garde film.
Even though violence plays an important role in the series, the investigators rarely have to resort to violence or the use of deadly force, contrary to both more violent spin-offs CSI: Miami and CSI: NY. In fact, at least one member of the Las Vegas crime lab has expressed distaste for carrying a firearm (Gil Grissom), and at least two others have mentioned having barely passable firearms expertise (Warrick Brown and Nick Stokes).
Although most episodes cover the solving of two (usually unrelated) cases, a few episodes focus on a single case.
Characters
- Dr. Gilbert "Gil" Grissom, Ph.D. (William Petersen): The night shift team supervisor for the Las Vegas CSI unit, and a forensic entomologist with a degree in biology from UCLA. Grissom was born August 17 1956 [2]. He is known for being a very thorough and methodical scientist, as well as for being a bit of a misanthropist. Grissom used to have otosclerosis (inherited from his mother) but he underwent corrective surgery[3]. It has been implied that he has a relationship with Sara Sidle, this was confirmed to the viewers on the sixth season finale "Way to go" and to the rest of the lab on the seventh season finale "Living Doll", when Sara was kidnapped.
- Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger): Blood spatter analyst. She was second-in-command of the night shift for the first four seasons, assuming command when Grissom was out of town or otherwise on leave. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from UNLV. She supported herself through college by working as an exotic dancer.
- Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan): Audio-video analyst. A Las Vegas native and a chemistry major from UNLV, Brown is an audio/visual analyst. Warrick is also a recovering gambling addict which is hindered by the fact he works in Las Vegas. He was in fact gambling when new CSI Holly Gribbs was killed at a scene in CSI's first episode, and almost lost his job because of not being with her at the time. Grissom's friendship and support has helped him a great deal in overcoming his addiction.
- Nicholas "Nick" Stokes (George Eads): Hair and fiber analyst. An easygoing and friendly former college baseball player and fraternity member with a degree in criminal justice from Texas A&M University, Stokes is a hair and fiber analyst from Dallas, Texas. Stokes tends to "empathize instead of sympathize" with the victims, which has drawn several rebukes from others.
- Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox): A materials and element analyst. A physics major at Harvard University, Sidle previously worked for the San Francisco coroner and crime lab. She is completely devoted to her job and will go to almost any lengths to make sure justice is served, for both the victims and the criminals. Sara's alcoholic father used to beat her and her mother Laura, until one day Laura snapped and stabbed him to death; as a result Sara has difficulties with dealing with abuse cases against women and children in her job. Following her father's death and her mother's subsequent institutionalization, she was placed into foster care. She has a romantic relationship with co-worker Gil Grissom, this came out to the rest of the lab when she was kidnapped at the end of season seven.
- Captain James "Jim" Brass (Paul Guilfoyle): Homicide captain. Brass was the head of the CSI unit in Las Vegas until he was moved back to the police homicide division in the second episode. He was originally from New Jersey. He continues to work with CSI despite problems in season two with his daughter. He is now captain in the homicide division and works closely with the CSI team. He is very often the one that leads questionings, and his sarcastic attitude makes these questionings darkly humorous, keeping in step with the show's feel.
- Gregory "Greg" Sanders (Recurring 1&2) (Season 3- (Eric Szmanda): The newest field worker on the CSI team since the season five episode "Who Shot Sherlock?". He idolizes Grissom, once had a crush on Sara Sidle (a crush that he might not have totally lost), and is known for his "wacky" behavior. He is also known for being naive about forensics field work despite an encyclopaedic knowledge of DNA and trace analysis. Greg, a very intelligent child prodigy, grew into a man with an unconventional look and funny attitude. He is known to listen to heavy metal music such as Marilyn Manson while working, supposedly to help his concentration. Despite his rebellious image, he did not challenge Sara's assertion that he was a virgin upon entering university. Greg is an Eagle Scout.
- Dr. Albert "Al" Robbins (Recurring 1&2) (Season 3- (Robert David Hall): The head county coroner. Married with three children, he is often the only one who understands Grissom, and vice versa. They are close friends. He has two prosthetic legs, and it has been implied that he lost them in an accident while trying to dig up a floor at a crime scene.
- Detective Sofia Curtis (Season 7- (Louise Lombard): A CSI who became part of Grissom's team after the mid-season five split, decided by the Assistant Director of the crime lab, Conrad Ecklie. She soon considered resignation, upset at the fact that she had been demoted from acting day shift supervisor. A recurring character in season five, but in season six she moved from being a CSI to a detective. She became a main character in season seven. When considering a case or crime scene, she thinks out loud, noting what she is thinking and seeing. On her first appearance, she explained to Grissom that it was the best way for her to concentrate, to notice, to understand, and to remember everything.
- David Hodges (Recurring 3-7) (Season 8- (Wallace Langham): A lab technician who was transferred to the Las Vegas crime lab from the Los Angeles crime lab. Hodges' character provides some comic relief in the show; however, most of the team finds him obnoxious and irritating. Hodges first appearance was on the third season episode "Recipe for Murder".
Reception
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, along with CBS' hit franchise Survivor, was instrumental in CBS instantly becoming a major competitor on Thursday nights, as well as becoming the most-watched network on U.S. television. It was announced on December 19 2000 that CBS was going to move CSI (from Fridays) and Survivor (from Wednesdays) to Thursday nights starting in February 2001 to challenge NBC's long-standing and popular Must See TV lineup, which included the hit shows, Friends and Will & Grace. As a result, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was the most-watched program on television for the 2002–2003 TV season[4] and has been the most-watched scripted show for five consecutive seasons, from the 2002–2003 season through the 2006–2007 season.
The 2004–2005 season finale, directed by Quentin Tarantino and entitled "Grave Danger", was watched by over 35 million viewers on May 19 2005, twice that of the nearest competition.[5].
CSI: The Experience
Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry opened an exhibit in CSI's honor on May 25, 2007 called: "CSI: The Experience".[6]
The Mobile Analysis Unit
In the fifth season, General Motors donated two GMC Yukon XL Denalis to the series, these SUVs were later modified and introduced to the fans as the GMC CSI Mobile Analysis Unit in the Tarantino-directed season five finale "Grave Danger". The GMCs not only gave the show a new level of hi-tech gadgetry, but also was an element that set the series apart from their CSI: Miami and CSI: NY which don't have any SUV tailored to this extent. The GMCs were given a six inch height difference from standard Denalis so that the trunk could be used by the CSIs as a rain shield as they use laptops equipped with the databases from the lab to process critical evidence on the spot. The third row has been removed to make way for a set of organized stainless-steel drawers which contain everything from adhesives to swabs and other tools used to collect and process evidence on the spot. Once the new bodies were released for the 2007 generation of GMC SUVs, the show switched to using the newest Denalis with a new Mobile Analysis Unit as well.[7][8]
Criticism
- CSI has often been criticized for the level and gratuitousness of graphic violence, images, and sexual content. The CSI series (along with its spinoff shows) have pushed the boundary of what is considered acceptable viewing for primetime network television.[9] The series had numerous episodes on sexual fetishism and other forms of sexual pleasure; see especially the recurring character of Lady Heather, a professional dominatrix. CSI has been ranked as among the worst prime-time shows for family viewing by the Parents Television Council nearly every season since its debut.[10][11][12], this series being ranked the worst show for family prime-time viewing after the 2002-03[13] and 2005-06[14] seasons. The PTC has also targeted certain CSI episodes for its weekly "Worst TV Show of the Week" feature.[15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] In addition, the episode King Baby aired in February 2005, which the PTC named the most offensive TV show of the week[20], also led the PTC to start a campaign to file complaints with the FCC with the episode[21]; to date, nearly 13,000 PTC members complained to the FCC about the episode.[22] The PTC has also asked Clorox to pull their advertisements from CSI and CSI: Miami because of the graphically violent content on those programs.[23]
- Another criticism of the show is the depiction of police procedure, which is decidedly lacking in realism.[24] For instance, the show's characters not only investigate crime scenes (as their real-world counterparts would), but they also solve cases, which falls under the responsibility of detectives, not CSI personnel. However, some Detectives are also registered CSIs, although this is exceedingly rare in actual life. CSI shares this characteristic with its UK equivalent, Silent Witness.
- Some Police and District Attorneys have critized the show for giving members of the public an inaccurate perception of how police solve crimes. District Attorneys state that the conviction rate in cases with little physical evidence has decreased, largely due to the influence of CSI on jury members.[25] For more information, see the article CSI Effect.
- The LGBT community has criticized the show for its negative representation of LGBT characters.[26] However, as the majority of the non-regular characters in the show are - by the show's very nature - criminals or suspects, it is only natural that all of the aforementioned guest characters are portrayed in a less than positive light. Furthermore, the fifth season episode "Ch-Ch-Changes" was received positively by the transgender community in particular.[27] Furthermore, the season 5 episode "Iced" featured one of very few openly gay characters that was not a victim or criminal, as the victim's neighbour.[28]
Episodes
There were 23 episodes in the first season, including the two part pilot episode written by Anthony Zuiker, the series' creator. There are 23 episodes each of the three following (Seasons Two to Four). There are 25 episodes in Season Five and 24 in Seasons Six and Seven. The total number of aired episodes to date is 165.
A two part crossover episode with Without a Trace is planned for November 2007. The first hour will be on CSI and the second hour will be on Without a Trace.[29]

Soundtrack
CSI's current theme song used in the United States since inception in 2000, is "Who Are You", written by Pete Townshend with vocals by Roger Daltrey of The Who[36] as the title track of their 1978 album. The show's spinoffs also use The Who songs as their theme songs: "Won't Get Fooled Again" for CSI: Miami and "Baba O'Riley" for CSI: NY, both recorded by The Who in 1971 for their album Who's Next. This was parodied in an episode of Two and a Half Men, where a CSI parody used "Squeeze Box" as its theme. The Who's Roger Daltrey made a special appearance in a season six episode.
All throughout the series music plays an important role, artists like The Wallflowers, John Mayer and Akon (with Obie Trice) have even performed in the show (The Accused is Entitled, Built To Kill, Part 1 and Poppin' Tags respectively). The Wallflowers' "Everybody out of the water" can even be found on the CSI soundtrack. Mogwai is often heard during the 'science bits' as does Radiohead, but many other artists have borrowed their music to CSI such as Rammstein, Kasabian, Celldweller, Rob Zombie, Avril Lavigne, Bonobo, Zero 7, IAMX, Mobb Deep, Eminem, New Order, The Black Eyed Peas, The Turtles, Depeche Mode, Evanescence, Nine Inch Nails, The Game, The Stone Roses, Electronic, Peter Gabriel, Gwen Stefani, Pantera and CSI actor Eric Szmanda's friend Marilyn Manson.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Soundtrack was released on September 24, 2002.

After being almost 12 months behind the region 2 releases for a while now, the region 4 releases are speeding up, with distributors foregoing the usual release pattern of "Part 1, Part 2, Complete Series" for season 5 and simply releasing it as a complete box set.
