Summary: Back to the Best
Review: Season 3, in my opinion, moved CSI back to being the best drama series on the networks. The episodes are fresh, thrilling, and puzzling enough to keep viewers entranced. I say "back to being the best" because I thought the quality of season 2 dipped a little from the blockbuster first season.

I seriously doubt any viewer needs a recommendation from me or others to be motivated to buy this DVD set. Primarily I was compelled to question another reviewer's accusation that 4 "reruns" were included in this third season set. Where did he get THAT? If you check the season episode finder for the first two seasons, which the reviewer says he has, you'll find no such repeats. Has he been watching broadcast episodes and now calls them reruns? That's pretty funny!

Anyway, this is a terrific set to continue the fascination most of us feel for the series! Buy it and enjoy.

Summary: Consistent Excellence
Review: Season Three has easily equalled the brilliance of Seasons One and Two. This has got to be the best show on television since the early X-Files. Cold Case and Without a Trace are good, but CSI is flat out excellent.

This season the writers take special pains to show that the investigators are human, each with flaws or weaknesses, and that they sometimes make mistakes. Doesn't matter to me, Grissom, Willows, Brown, Stokes and Sidle all shine in spite of their problems.

Most of the episodes are familiar, as this season's cases made up the majority of the reruns on DirectTV in the past months I have spent impatiently waiting for the DVD release. In any event the complexity of the science and the plot lines are tailor made for repeat viewing.

My one and repeated gripe is the lack of sub-titles, which facilitate late night viewing without turning up the volume.

The waiting period for Season Four is going to feel really really long.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great season - Cheep shot to add re-runs.
Review: The show still twists, turns and packs a good punch! Other reviews cover the pros. However, adding re-runs to fill up the disc space so they could say that there are 23 episodes is a cheep shot. For this I have to deduct points! I am only to disc 5, but I have counted at least 4 episodes from the previous two seasons: "Fight Night", "The Execution Of Catherine Willows", "Crash & Burn" and "Recipe For Murder".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of the Lot
Review: The title tells all I think this was the best series so far.
really enjoyed the 90min special 'lady heathers box'

Can't wait for season 4

bring it on

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great show - better in widescreen
Review: This is an imaginative and entertaining show - one of the best on TV in a long long time. One that is fun to watch over again on DVD. Widescreen makes it tons better than the old square pictures we have been used to. Widescreen is the way of the future and it's here to stay.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CSI-Third Season
Review: This season of CSI is great. Amazing episodes. This is the first DVD set of a series that I have purchased and it was very worthwhile. I can't wait to get season 4 on DVD. Season 3 and 4 are the best seasons of CSI yet.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Season Three Lacking
Review: Though it started out strongly, Season 3 of CSI quickly falls to the wayside. Episodes like 'The Accused is Entitled' show the strength of this show, but the middle of the season is weak compared to previous seasons. The episodes are tired and formulaic, and the "surprise" season finale is laughable. Continuity is thrown out the window and the storylines are fractured. Buy the first and second seasons to see the best of CSI.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: completely entertaining
Review: With stand alone stories, you could walk right into season three no problem. So much better than Alias or anything else in it's class. My only beef is that occasionally I can see the "dead" bodies breathing and in one case twitching. It's happened 5 or 6 times and is the only flaw. I like to pretend that I'm watching Will Grahem (aka Gill Grisom) as Manhunter 20+ years later still catching bad guys. Worth every penny, all three seasons were watched in a month. AWESOME and RARE TV.
