I loved this show from episode 1, all the way thru to the series finale (which YES, I cried when it ended). I even have a autographed photo of the original cast Grissom, Catherine, Warrick, Sara, Brass, and of course Nick. Every episode was well thought out, and done supremely! Sure miss this show!

A typical "police" series...Repetitive,boring and with not the greatest acting one can find. It is good for killing some time, especially when you have nothing better to do. I mean most of these series are the same,criminal minds,csi etc....If you watch one of them is like you have seen all of them.But if you have time to waste or if you are under some control freak syndrom and "must watch them all" you'll probably enjoy it. One such series that did realy stood out for me was "The Mentalist"...It had something charming,something different that was not present in any of the others. As for this one now,you may hear some interesting psychological or medical theory from time to time but that's where the good part ends for me. The characters are not really likeable and most of them either don't really play a part or they alll contribute somewhat equally, which is kinda boring.Also that makes it kinda hard to help you connect with any of them. Last but not least,certain episodes end in a way that implies there is more to come concerning this particular story. Which does not happen, at least not any time soon.

CSI is an amazing television series that is always fresh and leaves you on the edge of the seat. The characters are actual human beings you can relate to and the acting is real and warm. There is always a different crime to every episode and it's never repeated over and over again.All the seasons are also amazing in their own unique way. Here's how I rate them.Season 1 = an amazing startSeason 2 = an emotional rideSeason 3 = I have no wordsSeason 4 = very interestingSeason 5 = all I can say is this... WOW!Season 6 = a new beginningSeason 7 = OH MY GOD! Words cannot describe its awesomeness!Season 8 = short but sweetSeason 9 = filled with some much dramaSeason 10 = interesting arc (not saying what in case you haven't seen season 10 yet)Season 11 = my favorite season so farSeason 12 = addictiveSeason 13 (current season) = shaping out to be another hitBut something they all have in common: the talent the writers have to mix crime, drama, humor, family and a touch of romance (watch the series, there is some romance) together in a way that doesn't focus too particularly on one thing.All in all, CSI is an amazing show that I would recommend for anyone. I hope it never ends!

Normally I am not a big fan of Mr. Danson in anything other than 'Cheers', but he does okay in this show. He just doesn't seem like that police type actor. Additionally, I would prefer he had a smaller part, but if they want to call it, 'CSI:Ted Danson', then that is fine. I pick on Mr. Danson only in jest. This is a very good show which has experienced some serious changes. Some of these changes I would have thought as knock-out blows. Sadly the holes made in this cast and the damage caused, cannot be quickly repaired with band aids and bailing wire. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to see the producers and directors are not afraid to take gambles – and Mr. Danson is one. He is a very talented gentleman whose persona demands center stage. This center stage personality demands a staring roll. I just don't see such a powerful performer relegating himself as just another part of a team. In my opinion is that Ted's addition is a distraction, although he is quite a talented individual.
