    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The choice to place this series in Las Vegas was not random. Among U.S. crime labs, Las Vegas is the second most active, surpassed only by the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia. This fact is stated in the Pilot (2000).
    • Goofs
      The writers admitted to taking some creative liberties to make the show more engaging:
      • In reality, CSIs don't investigate crimes or conduct interviews-they simply collect and analyze evidence.
      • They do so while wearing booties and "bunny suits" (a full white body covering, including a hood) to prevent cross-contamination.
      • The writers also cut out much of the waiting time for results and bent the science to keep the pace exciting. As a result, the CSIs often receive evidence results that would be impossible in real life.
      This has contributed to the so-called "CSI Effect," where juries come to expect a mountain of forensic evidence in every criminal case.
    • Quotes
      • Greg Sanders: All work and no play makes Greg a dull boy.
      • Gil Grissom: All play and no work makes Greg an UNEMPLOYED boy.
    • Alternate versions
      Due to rights issues at the time of release, the R2 (Europe/UK) and R4 (Australia) DVD releases of Season 1 have The Who music replaced by an original theme from John M. Keane. The Who are still credited in the closing credits.
