Season Details & Credits

CBS | Season Premiere Date: October 6, 2000

Starring: William Petersen, William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger

Summary: CSI is an innovative, new type of crime drama because the characters use cutting-edge forensic tools to examine the evidence to solve the case. Rather than a 'whodunnit' cop show (investigating witnesses/suspects), CSI explores the 'howdunnit'. CSI has been the number one scripted series in the Neilsen ratings for four years running.

Critic Reviews

Diane Werts

Jun 13, 2013

This eccentric assemblage truly captures the distinct feel of Vegas-the night, the gallows humor of grisly work and the people who thrive on it. Sure, it's seedy, surreal and supremely specific. That's why we're hooked. [6 Oct 2000, p.B51]

Jun 13, 2013

The action is swift, the characters lively. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

CSI doesn't shy from the less savory aspects of the business it covers. There are flashback cams that show the crime taking place and micro cams that look closely at the evidence...But it's kind of tasteful, if you can imagine, and contributes to a Friday night show that is not only entertaining, but might actually teach you a thing or two. [6 Oct 2000]

Laura Fries

May 8, 2013

But more often than not CSI isn't sure if it's trying to be intellectual or just sensational. John M. Keane's heavy-handed music, inversely proportional to the events onscreen, doesn't help. Subsequent episodes would do better to pull back on attention-grabbing stunts in favor of the mystery and drama that lies at the core of this premise. [4 Oct 2000, p.2]

Mike Duffy

Jun 13, 2013

Nothing revolutionary here. [6 Oct 2000, p.12D]

Rob Owen

Jun 13, 2013

The investigations are intriguing. The investigators are blah, their relationships a poorly defined muddle. [6 Oct 2000, p.44]

Hal Boedeker

May 8, 2013

A broken toenail, discolored nipples and bullet wounds figure prominently in CBS's CSI. They make deeper impressions than the characters, crime scene investigators in Las Vegas. [6 Oct 2000, p.E1]

I loved this TV Show. Exactly these episodes with Grissom and old(first) team. After few changes I stopped watching. These episodes wasn't as awesome as old eps. But this TV show need the end. It's still the same, again and again. Same characters, quotes, situations, atmosphere... nothingI loved this TV Show. Exactly these episodes with Grissom and old(first) team. After few changes I stopped watching. These episodes wasn't as awesome as old eps. But this TV show need the end. It's still the same, again and again. Same characters, quotes, situations, atmosphere... nothing special. But in 2001 it was awesome. Awesome new show which show us a lot of news. No stupid action with a lot of gunfire, but just science.… Expand

All of the CSI haters need to go! The only reason they hate it is because they don't have a high enough IQ to understand it! Lol!

Season 15, CSI - Las Vegas. New season started Sunday, October 5, 2014.

Now this show has always been pretty interesting and well done, BUT: Am I the only one who thinks the writing on this first Season 15 episode was incredibly weak and juvenile? The plot was unusually contrived. The dialogue was clichéd and seemingly written for an eighth grade writing assignment. Eighth graders please do not be offended. It appears that a once pretty good show has aged to the point of senescence. Time, I think, for one of those Obamacare phony age panels for CSI, Las Vegas.… Expand

Perhaps the fact that there are barely any reviews for this show is the clearest example of its lack of relevance. It's not a very good show. The characters are bland and typical prime time fodder, and the crimes and 'science' are ridiculous. The music and cinematography are generic andPerhaps the fact that there are barely any reviews for this show is the clearest example of its lack of relevance. It's not a very good show.
