Really wish they use these two all throughout the series as re-occurring characters witnessing crimes and always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Without anything bad happening to them, of course.

(Lori) Shonda Farr and (Anna Leah) Keri Lynn Pratt, great duo in this series.

"He was way weird! I thought that he was gonna pull a Silence of the Lambs on me and say... it puts the lotion in the basket..." 😧🫤😏🤭

So I decided to just start watching CSI Cohen, New York around this episode for whatever reason. And of course, someone dies in the beginning, and it turns out the person who died was accused of rape. So the victim is brought in and immediately Flack is screaming at her and blaming her and just tearing her down. It kind of pissed me off, why do they think this was OK. Maybe the purpose was he was just doing that to try to get a scare out of her, but it was terrible to watch. Honestly, it was handled terribly.

I just don’t know what to think of this guy and then he goes and has that happen to him? Why was Catherine so emotional about it?

"My name is Horatio Caine. I'm the head of the crime unit. Horatio? Yeah. That's a funny name, isn't it? My mother named me after a famous writer named Horatio Alger. Ever hear of him?

I​s your badge real? Yeah. Yeah, that's real. My daddy's a policeman. I know that. I knew that. They're looking for me, you know.

Me​, too. Me, too. What do you say we sit here and get found together?"

On my about millionth rewatch, but does anyone have a favourite villian/murderer?

Have got to say I can't rember her name but the genius girl who fools everyone.

Sam Braun sees Joseph Landers in the CSI waiting room and asks him if his hand hurts when it rains. is that a reference to something? I didn’t get the meaning of the line.

just noticed in s2ep23 that they used the same older couple for two different scenes on two different “days”. never caught that before. the man’s expression is giving ‘i really don’t want to be here’ 😂

Aside from his love interest with Sara and "right hand" dynamic with Catherine, it was always Warrick. From mentor to father figure.

Sara: "You know there is no where in the world that he would've rather be in the end... he loved you."
Grissom: "Yeah... I loved him."

Twenty-six years ago, a groundbreaking series revolutionized prime-time television and changed the crime drama genre forever. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation brought the detailed world of forensic science out of the shadows and directly into our living rooms, turning night shifts, flashlight beams, soundscapes, and digital evidence into an absolute art form.

From the meticulous brilliance of Gil Grissom and Ray Langston to the steady leadership of D.B. Russell, each supervisor brought a unique philosophy to the Las Vegas Crime Lab. Along with iconic leaders like Catherine Willows, Sara Sidle, Nick Stokes, and captain Jim Brass, they proved that while people can lie, the evidence never does.

This franchise’s heart was always built on its incredible ensemble—both out in the field and working behind the scenes in the lab. We’ll never forget:

* The unforgettable bond and tragic journey of Warrick Brown.

* The evolution of Greg Sanders from quip-heavy lab rat to seasoned CSI.

* The brilliant lab techs who made every analysis entertaining: Hodges, Wendy, Henry, Mandy, and Archie.

* The essential field experts like ballistics technician Bobby Dawson, detective Sofia Curtis, and guest investigators like Mike Kepler.

* The bureau chiefs like Conrad Ecklie and CSIs like Morgan Brody.

The legacy didn't stop there. The story continued to evolve in CSI: Vegas, carrying the torch into the modern era with a phenomenal new generation led by Maxine Robby, alongside Allie Rajan, Penny, Joshua Folsom, and the return of familiar faces to help solve complex cases.

Through hundreds of mysteries, tragic twists, unforgettable villains, and groundbreaking science, the CSI universe gave us stories that kept us on the edge of our seats. Today, we celebrate 26 years of incredible characters, sharp writing, and the enduring legacy of a team that taught us all to follow the evidence!

Happy 26th Anniversary to CSI!

One of my favorite comedic relief episode. Some of the very rare occurrences of Grissom having fun and laughing. Brings me great joy to see him happy! Especially since Sara just left, not knowing when/if she'll return. From 8x8 You Kill Me Of course, bonus points if you know the episode!

Hodges: "Wait, wait, wait... they all wanna watch?"
Grissom: "Professional curiosity, I guess."

I know I just posted something but I wanted to see what your favorite character or characters are. My favorite character is definitely Gil Grissom, as I feel like I’m a carbon copy of him just in a younger body. I’m not deeply fascinated with bugs as he is but I just have this feeling that Grissom is autistic but I don’t see any official confirmation.

Does anyone know where I can stream the original CSI without any missing episodes? I am on season 7 right now and I’m watching on Pluto TV but the first episode shown on the app for this season is actually episode 3 Toe Tags.

Also, while we’re on the topic, I feel like the near-tragedy with Brass was brushed over like it was nothing and rushed. Like hey, I just experienced a Code Blue after surgery but I’m opening my eyes and I can talk to Grissom like nothing happened.

What episodes or plots do you think aged badly?

Does anyone have any information on where this moved to? It's no longer on HULU, but isn't on Paramount.

Recently finished the first season of CSI: Cyber and honestly I didn’t really like the end of it, in large part because I don’t think I ever was fully rooting for the main character Avery. For whatever reason I never really connected with her, but in the final episode of the first season she and the hacker that started her on the path of catching hackers are brought back into conflict. The actor who plays the hacker is one I know from other works and he always does so well with his performance, so I ended up connecting with him more than her, which definitely changed how I wanted it to end.

I’m curious what others think about the show in general or about the final episode of that first season. It is definitely an interesting show and I think I was a bit more nervous watching it now than I would have been back in 2015 when it first came out, given how much more we use or rely on technology now for various things. Thoughts?

Season 1 episode 3 they actually try to make you feel sorry for someone who killed a kid. Then lied about it mutiple times. They play sad music when he's going to jail haha. Anyone else think it's nuts or am I just a jerk?

It's just messing with my completionism that we only know the birth dates of Grissom (August 17, 1956), Brass (January 3, 1953) and Catherine (March 26, 1963) but not any other main characters so I'm wondering if any were said that I just missed
