I wish I had never bought it

Yes I've given this CSI: CSI (Vegas) season five, 5 stars, well who wouldn't?

Though new series are becoming increasingly predictable especially, after Bill Petersen's departure, these earlier episodes that do feature Bill are still very good.

The reason for my title? Well within a couple of weeks of buying them, all of the various CSI: franchise and their corresponding episodes were (and are still) being repeated ad nausium on the various five TV channels.

I could've saved my money! I still watch the odd episode now and again when they are being transmitted and whenever I'm in the mood.

What can you say about this, the original,and the best. However, having only just got over seeing Grissom being re-united with Sarah, will it ever be the same. You betcha! Having watched the series from the beginning, I'm always amazed and entertained by the terrific writing and top notch acting from all of the team. That's why CSI will continue to be No.1. But Grissom will return,Hooray!

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 5.1
Review date: 2006-05-17 Rating: 10 out of 10

Yet another fantastic installment of the best show on TV.

The normal character's, Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Sarah Sidle, Warwick Brown, Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Jim Brass and Dr Robbins are back and in about episode seven (I think) we see a someone from the day shift become more involved with the closely-knit night team. She is not made very welcome by the team but she still remains part of the team (as we can see from season six, currently showing on TV).

This set of episodes gives us brilliant science and also further insight into the CSI's. Catherine is having trouble with her daughter Lyndsey and Greg is tested in his ambitions to get away from the DNA Lab and into the field - things don't always run smoothly.

There are a mixture of entertaining episodes such as 'Who shot Sherlock?' where an avid Sherlock Holmes fan dies in his Baker Street style basement. Was it suicide or murder - this it Greg's final chance to become a CSI. Will he pass??? There are also some more emotive episodes such as 'No humans involved' where a young boy is found dumped along with the rubbish in a back alley. This is testing for Sarah and Brass as they find out the boy has two brothers and they don't know where they are or what condition they are in.

For all of the fans of previous series the serial killer who targets students at a Las Vegas college campus by abducting them near a water fountain after painting railings with the now infamous 'blue paint' is back, even tough someone has already been executed for one of the murders. Is this the real killer? A copycat? Or might they have been partners in crime? When he starts taunting the CSI's it's bound to be an exciting conclusion.

Can't wait for the rest of series 5!!!

To say that CSI is the finest Scientific Drama of its time is an appocolyptic understatement. I have EVERY EPISODE of ALL of the CSI family yet released on DVD. Every time you watch this masterpiece of TV you spot something new.

The acting is superior, scientific and forensic reconstruction amongst the best I have ever seem (outside of reality that is). Every character is so believable and the situations realistic.

It is true that the Miami and New York series are marked down from the Vegas episodes BUT HEY!, they have one heck of a hard act to follow. They do actually stand on their own as a series.

Any of the actor's who 'choose' to leave the CSI family need their heads read as this will be the pinnacle genre to aspire to.

In the current Season 6, now showing in the UK, Faye Dunnaway was a recent guest star - could this finally be 'the hit show in which to appear', I'd say so!

5 stars aren't enough for this exceptional dramatic delight.
