"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!"

"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)DISK 1:

Mild flaws, but other wise C.S.I excellence

"As a huge C.S.I. fan, I cannot objectively rate this. I love C.S.I., and own the other two seasons. I just spent the weekend watching this (Yes I know I need a life! : ), but I felt it was a weekend well spent. Even though C.S.I. had two plotlines that never worked in season three (Grissom's hearing loss, and Sara lusting over Grissom), this season contains some of the best C.S.I.'s yet. When the personal lives of the C.S.I's combine with the cases they are working on, you get some of the best acting out of this distinguished group of actors. The plotline of Eddie Willows' death, and how it effects Catherine is probably one of the most gripping ones of the season. Also, when Warrick puts his personal feelings for the victim, someone's daughter from his past, ahead of his criminalistic objectivity we see how fragile he really is. In most every C.S.I. episode, there is an "A" story and a "B" story. At times, you wish that the C.S.I. writers would use only one story at a time, as it could get confusing. But other then that, I cannot find any horrific flaws. Jerry Bruckheimer continues his reign as the modern day Jack Webb with his series "Cold Case", and "Without a Trace". The C.S.I. Miami and now New York series are watering down the name, but Bruckheimer continues to turn out hit after hit. Go with this C.S.I. season for a great DVD set."
Thank goodness for CSI

"I pretty much do not watch tv anymore with the exception of childrens shows with my 4 year old (I like to make sure what he is watching) and occasionally news with my husband. I was thrilled when a friend let be borrow the first season DVD set of CSI and I immdeiatly started hunting them down.
I enjoyed the third season as much at the first two. I loved the ending which left you wondering about how Grissom's surgery would turn out and if Sara and Grissom would get together or not.
What I also appreciate is the fact that while they give us intresting tastes of the lives of the CSI personel the do not let it get in the way of the mysteries. I used to watch "Judging Amy" but after a while it switched from being about cases to being about Amy's crazy family life and in my oppinion just another soap opera. I appreciate that the CSI people have kept a good focus on the mystery part of the show."
