Summary: An absolute hit!
Review: CSI is my absolute favorite show on television as of right now. When I saw that they had DVD sets out, I knew I had to have them. I got CSI Season 1 for a Christmas gift and I'm almost through it already!
The DVD set is a decent price for what's on it and it includes 6 disks.

The Episodes on the disk are as follows:

Pilot
Cool Change
Crate and Burial
Pledging Mr. Johnson
Friends and Lovers
Who Are You?
Blood Drops
Anonymous
Unfriendly Skies
Sex, Lies and Larvae
I-15 Murders

Farenheit 932
Boom
To Halve and to Hold
Table Stakes
Too Tough to Die
Face Lift
$35K OBO
Gentle Gentle
Sounds of Silence
Justice is Served
Evaluation Day
Strip Strangler

The only down about the DVD is the fact that it doesn't have much bonus material. But other than that I highly recommend purchasing this DVD. This season has the best episodes throughout the run of this show. The First Season is what made CSI as popular as it is! So go out there and get your hands on this DVD. If you are as much of a CSI lover as I am, you won't be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CSI that's fun to watch!
Review: William Petersen & the gang make the original C.S.I an engaging way to spend the evening. Many of the stories are well written,directed and acted. Some of my favorite eppies from the first season are Crate & Burial, I-15 Murders and Farenheit 932.

William Petersen really makes his role as Gil Grissom convincing and draws us in with his infectious interest and love of the job that just doesn't seem to be there in the Miami C.S.I spinoff.. I got into the show about 2nd Season, got the Season One DVD with the desire to play catch-up and got my husband (who originally wasn't a fan) totally hooked watching it with me! I'm really looking forward to when the 2nd Season set becomes available.

If you're into C.S.I this is a fun,engaging show.. Great stories, great acting.. graphics that grab you and pull you right in.. Well worth it and a keeper..

Only downside, I found was that I wish there could have been some kind of director/producer commentary included. My husband's one complaint was that the C.S.I. profiles wasn't featured on the first disc instead of the last one. By the time you get to the last disc, you already know the characters and their foibles. Still, well worth it!

Summary: Non-committal TV
Review: CSI fell into the trend of seasons full of stand-alone episodes. Now, people who don't feel committed to television love this, as they can watch an episode without having to worry about a "To Be Continued..." and they have the case solved for them within the episode. One doesn't have to think much when watching the show.

This is essentially why I no longer watch the show. Because each is a stand-alone episode, there is very little character developement. Sure, it is a stylish show, and watching one episode every six months is good fun. But the lack of character developement and the feeling that all the cases are inconsequential to the characters makes watching every episode less than fun. The stories tend to be the same when watched in close proximity to one another.

If you want a high-octane, stylish show that is ultimately much more satisfying, go with either 24 or Alias. Those shows make think and use your brain. If you want have everything explained for you and leave the TV set without thinking about what you just watched, then C.S.I. and it countless rip-offs is for you. Interesting to note that most people are like that, since the show is still #1 in the nation.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: CSI improves over time, but this was a great start.
Review: Oh how I love C.S.I., even though it's getting watered down by spin offs, the original stays true. C.S.I. had some rocky beginnings, but the first season is still worth owning. Alot of the backstory comes from the first season, so if you watch it over and over again *like myself* you'll want to own this. There are some great episodes in this pack, that you'll want to watch again and again.

Summary: As Near To The Real Thing As You Can Get
Review: When I first started watching Columbo, I often wanted to be a detective. When I first started watching Mike Hammer, I often wanted to be a detective. When I watched Magnum P.I., I often wanted to be a detective. Now I watch CSI, and I do not want to be a detective. In fact, after watching one episode, I went up to a guy I went to school with who is now a coroner, shook his hand and told him he was the better man. I told him he had more guts than I did, in that I would not ever want his job. This is not a TV show for those (like myself) who cannot eat pizza after seeing someone's charred body, as is sometimes seen on the show. CSI holds no punches. Shows like Columbo, Mike Hammer, and Magnum, while at times are bloody, give the viewer a more "romantic side" of the occupation so to speak, while CSI gives you an almost raw view of what it is really like to work in the detective field. In short, detective work really isn't a glamorous occupation. If someone's brains are blown out, CSI shows you up close, all the little noodles (which of course remind me of purple macaroni, thus disgusting me from eating macaroni for awhile). If a lady has her eyeball fall out, they show the eyeball up close (do you get the picture?) Still, this is a show that is very intriguing. Of course you want to watch it to find out if they catch the murderer(IF it is a murder, which on this program, sometimes it is not). Like most any detective show, it's the CSI teams' expertise in the field and their luck, that helps them put the pieces together, and CSI does it in such a manner as to make MOST of their shows believable. And the reason I stress MOST, is that sometimes, their shows do tend to go out there. I have beyond perfect vision in one eye, and perfect vision in the other, and even I would have a hard time seeing some of the things they seem to spot a mile away with their mini flashlights. But even with this one flaw, CSI is a show I look forward to watching week after week. I also love CSI Miami. CSI gets its entertainment value from the relief of the cases being solved. The first season of CSI was superb at the worst. It blew Law & Order out of the water, and continues to do so. CSI combines forensic science with action, drama, suspense, horror, occasional comedy (in the right moment) and intrigue. I would not recommend it for viewers under the age of 16 for the fact of the gore, and sometimes racy scenes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CSI is awesome!
Review: I really like this show. If you like mystery and crime shows, CSI is definatly for you. Its interesting and seems fairly real, although there are many things that would not be true to life. I hope you buy it!

Summary: CSI: The Complete First Season
Review: I just loved it. I really didn't get into untill on night I walked in when my Dad was watching it and I got hooked. I'd missed some episodes. Then when the DVD came out I was so excited. Then I got really intrested in the science part of it. I also fell in love with Grissom. I thought that he was very good in what he does. Whoever reads this I really urge you to go get it. You will love it as has much as I do.
