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

 Gave This as a Gift, But Enjoyed it Myself :) February 3, 2010

My husband is a CSI fan, so I gave him these DVDs as a gift. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the first season together. One disc skipped, so we missed some important moments, but the other discs were in excellent condition. Very fun to have CSI in our home!
Great deal on these DVDs February 3, 2010

 Great show, but... December 4, 2009

CSI is my favorite show and I realize that it's really gruesome, as the seasons progress, but there's just something about it that keeps drawing me back week after week. I just recently bought seasons 1-3 on DVD and I was really excited to start from the first epsiode and slowly work my way through each of the seasons(seeing as how I have to watch the old episodes on Spike and I don't know if I have caught every episode or not).
When I watched the first episode of season 1, however, I was surprised at how grainy the picture was. It looked like they hadn't even bothered to clean up the picture before putting it on the DVD.
It's an amazing show, has some cheesy lines that you just have to laugh and shake your head at, but I think they could've spent a little extra time fixing up the presentation of the DVD episodes. This grainy aspect, however, shouldn't stop you from watching it...it's still a show to check out. In later seasons, the show gets even better.
Very good buy! November 9, 2009
