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!

Finally after three years, CBS and Paramount are realeasing the complete first season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. I have been watching every episode since the first and have enjoyed almost every one! Now, with this six disc set, i can watch the first season over and over again which has some of the best classic episodes.

These are the 23 episodes of the first season that will be included.
I have taped (on VHS) every single episode since the third episode of the series, but now i can watch them with much better quality. This is by far the best show on television!

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 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!

When this show debuted in September 2000, everyone was blown away. What ER had done for hospitals, CSI did for crime labs. Ironically, when I viewed my first episode, I had a great interest in forensic science. The re-enactments are top of the line, downright amazing with unforgettable visual effects and gore. Although ER still continues to enjoy ratings success, THE show you must see is CSI.

The DVD is fantastic, with wonderful digital picture and sound. Although there aren't many special features, that's fine. The heart and soul of this DVD set are the episodes themselves. I recommend getting this over the two "Early Cases" DVD sets. It's more complete. If you have ever taken an interest in forensics, or watched an episode of CSI, this is a must-buy.

Although i just started watching CSI around the episode "I-15 Murders" it's my favorite show ever. I basically started watching it because my grandparents would tell me how cool and interesting the show is. I watched the episode i mentioned above and was just blown away the special effects especially for a show that just started were incredible.Over time watching this show i really liked the characters of Nick and Sara (George Eads, Jorja Fox)beacuse first of all Nick is soo good looking and really dedicated to what he does and Sara is a tough chick and i love that when a show has a tough female character. My favorite episodes are "Unfriendly Skies" and "Sex, Lies and Larve"basically because i feel they are great Sara episodes and show what CSI is all about.Sometimes the first episodes aren't that great when a show starts off but CSI's doesn't fail to be anything but excelent. Even if you've just heard about CSI and never watched and episode it's worth buying at any price the show is just that great.

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.

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.

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!

I love CSI and it is a joy to heve all of the episoids from the first season. it is even better because it is in full screen. of course if you love csi yo will love this with all of the epiciods from the first season.

If you are a fan of the show, this DVD package is a must have! I have been a fan of the show from the beginning when it was initially run on Saturday night, and I had forgotten about quite a few of these episodes. Right from the beginning the stories and the characters draw you in, and it's kind of funny to look back on these early episodes and see Grissom's character change from a joking, almost comical lead to the stern, professor like Grissom in today's shows. You can also tell that they were working on a smaller budget as the special effects, the "gushy" parts, aren't as good as the ones on the show today. One of the best parts about this first season is that it sometimes takes several episodes for the CSI team to solve a crime, so the stories weave in and out of different epidsodes. I would highly recommend you pick up these season packages as the come available!!!!
