Having watched this series from the pilot episode, I've not missed one episode. I have them all on videotape, and now that they've been released on DVD, all the better! I have all 3 seasons, and can't wait until season 4 is released. This is a fantastic show with realistic crime scene depictions, often taken off the front pages of today's newspapers. The twists and turns make it fun to try to solve the crime before it shows you at the end, and some cases I find truly baffling! The tools are real, and I've gotten to the point I have a deep interest in forensic science. I've even thought of going back to school for it because of this TV SHOW! I think this is my favorite show EVER..even above ER, Third Watch, and Crossing Jordan! If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing something truly unique! Furthermore, I like the original CSI in the Las Vegas setting, and don't much care for the spinoff of CSI: Miami. CSI: New York is beginning in the fall, and I'll give that a couple episodes before I decide. I'm a CSI fanatic, I can't help it!

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

Even if you don't like this programme (how could you not???), it's worth buying simply to watch George Eads the whole way through. He's so hot. The combination of a good looking cast and interesting (if not often creepy) storylines, keeps me watching this show each and every week and I could watch all of these episodes over and over. Go out and buy this now.

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.

Hi,
As in the other two series of CSI,1 wish there was subtitles as well ,since we bought the first two that way I didnot even check if this one had or not...unfortunately the terms used in this movie is only clerly understood when you read...
I didnot enjoy this one as I enjoyed the first two

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.

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".

Being an extreme CSI fan, I couldn't pass up the chance to buy season 3 to add to my growing collection. I saw probably a little more than half the season and it was just as good as the other two seasons and I wanted to see all that I missed. The plot with Grissom's hearing problem kept you watching to see how he handled it and what would happen. Once again, there's 23 episodes on 6 disks. The episodes are as follows: (Episodes appear in the order of original airdate)

You get so much for the price! Some DVD sets can break 100 but this is much less. With 5 hours of Bonus Material and the 23 episodes, you can't possibly complain! I recommend any CSI lover out there to buy this DVD set. If you are a true fan of CSI, you won't be disappointed!

By it's third season, C.S.I. became a force to be reckoned with. The highest rated show on prime time TV managed to get better and better by each passing episode as the crimes investigated by Gil Grissom (William Petersen, never better) grow all the more bizarre. Superstar producer Jerry Bruckheimer's mega production values give the show a gloss that no other prime time TV drama has, and the cast is better than ever, with special nods going to Gary Dourdan and the gorgeous Jorja Fox. The ever growing plot twists in various episodes owe a huge debt to the early years of the long running Law & Order, as C.S.I. finds ever growing greatness just as the aformentioned show did in it's prime years ago. Just as with the previous two C.S.I. season collections, Paramount has hardly assembled any extras for this set, which is yet again a major disappointment. Besides that though, if you've never watched C.S.I., now has never been a better time to dive in.

I am a huge CSI fan. If you've never watched it, first of all, say hi to everyone on Mars for me.. other than that, order your copy today. Have no doubts. There is no way you can be wrong about buying this DVD. Besides one small problem.
In a show, where one of the lead characters is having a hearing problem, how come there are no subtitles recorded? It's the down side of it all, that kind of takes the fun away when big latin words start flying around.
As I said, do not hesitate. Just order.
