CSI: Las Vegas Review Summary

The king of the police procedural shows is still going strong, as, after 8 seasons CSI:Las Vegas is not only still on the air, but one of the most viewed shows. It stays fresh because it " It forages into new territory all the time." CSI:Las Vegas stars William Peterson, Marg Helgenberger, and George Eads. It keeps viewers intrigued by combining forensic science with interesting cases and just enough personal details to make us care about the characters. One reviewer notes, "It is fascinating watching the characters look for clues and then process the information at the criminal lab.". Also, recent cast changes have hieghtened viewer interest as well as taking the show in a new direction. CSI:Las Vegas airs on CBS, Thursday nights.

CSI Vegas( which I call "CSI" because it is the original) is the best crime drama on tv at this time. It forages into new territory all the time. The characters actually keep the audience interested. There is just enough true crime scene investigation tactics to make you wonder if that is really how... read full review »

I've been watching this show for years. I loved having Grisom, but now that he's gone and they're changing all the characters, I don't know how much longer I'll be watching. I know he was replaced with a major actor, but he's just not the same. Instead of having a highly educated man that knew how to... read full review »

Out of all the Csi shows, this is the orginal and the best of the csi shows.  Grissom is a great character and he makes the show...so smart, and knowledgeable.  And I love his relationship with bugs.  Every episode is exciting and has an intrigueing plot.  There are some side plots that add to the shows events.  I am, however, very disappointed that Grissom was written off the show..If I wanted to see Morphius, I would watch the Matrix. He is nowhere comparable to Grissom.  I do not watch the Show as much now that Grissom is gone.

I began watching C.S.I. with the very first episode and have come to feel that Warrick Brown was a sinking ship with heavy baggage dragging him down.  I hope that C.S.I. moves past his death swiftly.  I enjoy good character development, however I feel that Warrick's character was over delveloped.  Gary Dourdan protrayed Warrick's character fantastically and I hope to see him on another show soon.

I have been watching CSI: Las Vegas since the show began.  I have watched every season and haven't missed an episode.  I record it if I'm not at home and will often watch it online as well.

Obsessed might be a better word to describe my feelings towards CSI.  The character develpment throughout the years has been very thorough.  We know most of their weaknesses, faults, hobbies, loves, and many details of their personal lives.

There have also been disappointments in the characters throughout the years.  For example, I really hated to see Warrick leave us.  First of all, that was terribly...

I have watched CSI:Las Vegas from day one. This is an action packed, mind boggling show that holds  your interest from the very beginning. You'll love the characters from Grissom to Catherine, Nick, and Warrick..  When we lost Warrick it was one of the saddest moments, my whole family got upset.  Having Nick buried alive & feeling the frustration of his collegues trying to find him before it was too late, I almost stopped watching but didn't. Then losing Grissom I still couldn't stop but will say they really need to bring him back or a lot of us will stop watching. I love all the cast but will...

The first time I ever saw this show, I was at my mom's. I sat down with her to talk, also watching tv. I left with a new favoite show. It was weird, so morbid and depressing (a baby had been murdered by his parents) but the questions, the scientific methods of finding the answers was just gripping. And the characters, so cool! Grissom was my favorite. The Bug Guy. He actually made it interesting. I was really bumbed when I heard he as leaving the show.  I was talking with some co-workers who agree with me, Lady Hearther (my favorite repeat guest star) was perfect for Grissom. I was certainly...

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation used to be high up there in the can't miss department, but recently, I find myself having to force myself to sit through an entire episode. The show began to go downhill with first the departure of Jorja Fox and then the subsequent killing off of Gary Dourdan's character of Warrick Brown. The final nail in CSI's coffin was the departure of the central character of Grissom. Laurence Fishburne is a good actor and I really wanted to like him as the new central character, but the show has become too focused on his character and as a result, established characters are...

CSI-Original- Las Vegas


This is going to sound weird but oh so many years ago before CSI was on TV, I had already planned to go into this line of work, my inspiration at first was Quincy.  I was probably 11 or 12 well as we all know life changes and I did get some classes in but was never able to complete.

When this show came out I was in total amazement and love it. CSI (the original Las Vegas) is my favorite.  I have been a fan of WIlliam Peterson since Manhunter (the first Silence of the Lambs Movie--which later they re-made with Ed Norton and called Red Dragon).

I watch the rereuns daily on...

     This is by far the most entertaining Crime Show on Tv today. Each character really brings something to the show. My favorite character is Greg Sanders. He is funny, smart, and talented. I like watching all the steps the teams goes through to solve each crime. The lab forensics are especially interesting. Science has always fascinated me. What keeps this show real is the fact that the characters have flaws and get into hot water occasionally. They have to fight to get out of their situations instead of their actions being swept under the rug. I make it a point to watch or record every episode...

CSI Las Vegas, what can I say about this show that would sum it up besides just addictive. I am so hooked on this that when Spike, or any of those channels are airing it usually it's 5-6 episodes in a row. While yes that seems to be extreme it is VERY easy to become addicted to it. The story lines are always pretty good, and I LOVE Grissom he makes a darn good Char in the cast along with the rest of the gang. (SPOILER)... For those of you who have not watched this weeks episode it was a farewell to Grissom, and while they did a great send off it was sad to see him go anyway. I suggest give this... read full review »

CSI Las Vegas is the original of all the CSIs on TV which consist of New York and Miami. It's characters are probably some of the most relatable. Rather than being all about their personal lives, the detectives make the cases the most important part of the show. They do however mix in their lives which helps a viewer to really get hooked. This show also doesn't try to dumb down the science aspects too much but instead incorporates strong writing and great acting. The show is always full of twists and spins and you will often find yourself on the wrong side of the truth. The show recently killed...
