CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (commonly referred to as CSI) 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. The show has spurred two spinoffs, one set in Miami (CSI: Miami) and another in New York City (CSI: NY). The show is produced in partnership with the Canadian media company Alliance Atlantis.

[edit] Series 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 FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia.<ref name="imdbtriv" /> 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 forces one to question morals and beliefs and possibly human nature in general.

[edit] 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 science fiction, fantasy, or horror television series.

The series is known for its unusual camera angles, percussive editing techniques, hi-tech gadgets, 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. Many episodes feature lengthy scenes in which experiments, tests, or other technical work is portrayed in detail, usually with no sound except accompanying music — a technique reminiscent of Mission: Impossible. Often the lighting, composition, and mise-en-scene elements are heavily influenced by avant-garde film.

Although violence plays an important role in the series, in terms of the investigator's actual conduct the series is actually less violent than its immediate spin-off, CSI: Miami in that the Las Vegas investigators rarely use deadly force.

Although most episodes cover the solving of two cases (which are sometimes related to each other), a few episodes focus on a single case.

[edit] Characters

Main article: List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters

[edit] Main characters

• Las Vegas CSI Head Investigator Dr. Gilbert 'Gil' Grissom (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 (Season 2 Ep. 13 - "Identity Crisis"). He is very methodical and scientific, as well as having a congenital medical condition (from his mother) which threatened to take away his hearing, until he underwent surgery.

• Las Vegas CSI Level 3 Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger): A blood spatter analyst. She was second-in-command of the nightshift for the first four seasons, assuming command when Grissom was out of town or otherwise on leave. She recently moved teams to become supervisor of the new swing shift team. Following the reunion of the night shift team in Season 6, she returns to her previous position.

• Las Vegas CSI Level 3 Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan): A Las Vegas native and a chemistry major from UNLV, is an audio/visual analyst. Warrick also is a recovering gambling addict which is hindered by the fact he works in Las Vegas.

• Las Vegas CSI Level 3 Nick Stokes (George Eads): An easygoing and friendly former college baseball player and fraternity member with a degree in criminal justice from Texas A&M University, is a hair and fiber analyst from Dallas, Texas. Nick tends to "empathize instead of sympathize" with the victims, which has drawn several rebukes from others.

• Las Vegas CSI Level 3 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.

• LVMPD Homicide Detective Captain James 'Jim' Brass (Paul Guilfoyle): 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's now Captain in the homicide division and works closely with the CSI team.

• Las Vegas CSI Level 1 Gregory 'Greg' Sanders (Eric Szmanda): The newest field worker on the CSI team since the season 5 episode "Who Shot Sherlock". He idolizes Grissom, once had a crush on Sara Sidle, and is known for his "wacky" behavior. He is also known for being naive about forensics while working in the field despite an encyclopaedic knowledge of DNA and Trace Analysis.

• Las Vegas Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Albert 'Al' Robbins (Robert David Hall): The head county coroner. Married with three children, he's often the only one who understands Grissom. 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.

• Las Vegas CSI Level 3 Detective Sofia Curtis (Louise Lombard): A CSI who became part of Gil's team after the mid-season 5 split, courtesy of Ecklie. She soon considered resignation, upset at the fact that she had been demoted from acting swing-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.

[edit] Critical reception

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, along with CBS's 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<ref name="bbc">"US crime drama tops Friends", BBC. Retrieved on 2006-09-16.</ref> and has been in the top 3 of the most-watched TV programs every season since the 2001-2002 TV season. CBS has now become the most-watched network on Thursday nights due to the departure of NBC's Friends in 2004, ER's gradual decline in viewer numbers for NBC, and the emergence of another popular CBS crime drama, Without a Trace, from the fall of 2002 until it was moved to Sunday nights in the fall of 2006.

The 2004-2005 season finale, directed by Quentin Tarantino and entitled Grave Danger, was watched by over 40 million viewers on May 19, 2005.

The show averages 30 million viewers every week and as of February 2006, CBS reported that over 90 million viewers have tuned into the series this past year alone.

[edit] Criticism

• CSI has often been criticized for showing what is believed to be gratuitous amounts of graphic violence, gruesome images and sexual content, more than what is normally acceptable on network television and the limits of the television rating for certain episodes.<ref>Pro-Family Group Outraged Over CSI "Toy". Mens News Daily. Retrieved on 2006-10-14.</ref> The show also seems to focus on sexual fetishism and other forms of sexual pleasure. However, spokespeople for the show state that the content is not meant to be gratuitous at all and that it is necessary and relevant to the plot of episodes.

• Another harsh criticism of the show is the lack of proper procedure and realism.<ref>Ross MacDowell. "The Real CSI", Australian Sunday Herald. Retrieved on 2006-10-14.</ref> For instance, the Crime Scene Investigators not only investigate the crime scenes (as their job entails) but they also solve the crimes. This seems to fall under the scope of detectives and not CSI personnel.

• Police and District Attorneys have become highly critical of the show as it gives members of the public an unrealistic view of how police solve crimes. District Attorneys say that the show makes cases with little physical evidence harder to win, because juries expect to see "CSI" type evidence.<ref>"'CSI effect' has juries wanting more evidence", USA Today, August 5, 2004.</ref> (For more information, please see the article CSI Effect.)

• CSI has been criticised by parts of the LGBT community for its use of negative stereotypes.<ref>Malinda Lo. CSI's Mixed Track Record on LGBT Characters. After Ellen. Retrieved on 2006-10-01.</ref>

[edit] Soundtrack

CSI's theme song is "Who Are You", written by Pete Townshend of The Who<ref name="uswk">A real reality show. USA Weekend. Retrieved on 2006-09-16.</ref> as the title track of their 1978 album. The show's spinoffs also use 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.

The show is known to also use Radiohead's music in many episodes; a total of four Radiohead songs appeared in the span of three episodes at the end of the show's third season.<ref> CSI: Las Vegas producer tries to work Radiohead song into every episode. Recoil. Retrieved on 2006-08-03.</ref>

Another frequently used musical artist is Marilyn Manson, who is also friends with CSI actor Eric Szmanda. Szmanda appeared in the video for Manson's song "sAINT".

Quite frequently when entering a sex shop or BDSM parlor music by the Industrial Metal band Rammstein can be heard.

The season 7 premiere, "Built to Kill, Part 1" featured artist John Mayer performing songs from his album Continuum.

[edit] Region 2/4 DVD releases

Image:Csi51.jpg Region 2 and 4 DVD releases have followed a pattern whereby each season is progressively released in two parts (each of 11 or 12 episodes, with special features split up) before finally being sold as a single box set. 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.
