Series: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
"Concentrate on what cannot lie — the evidence."—Gil Grissom
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (sometimes unofficially referred to as CSI: Las Vegas when differentiating the shows in the franchise, mostly abroad where CSI: Miami made the franchise popular) is a highly successful TV show (2000-present) about a group of graveyard-shift crime scene investigators in Las Vegas led originally by enigmatic scientist Gil Grissom, then, following his departure, by ex-stripper and single mother Catherine Willows, and now, by quirky scientist DB Russell. Initially touted as a show where the evidence was the main character and the actual characters were little more than flat stereotypes with "quirks" added almost as an afterthought, the series has progressed over its thirteen seasons to make the characters a little more rounded and include more of their personal lives and histories in the storylines. It has also moved on from a fairly straightforward forensics approach to more high-tech approaches that aren't necessarily possible in real life, requiring some degree of suspension of disbelief from the viewer.
Influenced a great many subsequent programs; most directly, it inspired its producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, to try and replicate this success with Without A Trace and Cold Case (both in the same verse). It also followed in Law & Order's 'franchise' footsteps, with CSI: Miami (Yeeeeeeeaaaahh!) and CSI NY. As of the 2008-2009 season, there are over 600 total episodes of CSI, CSI: Miami (Yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh!), and CSI NY,
not including books, comic books, and video games related to the
franchise. Please note, however, that it is not the oldest of the
current crop of forensic shows, a title held by British show Silent Witness, while
Waking the Dead aired its pilot a few weeks earlier.
Gil Grissom's frequent one-liners right before the opening credits or an ad break are a well known example of a Quip to Black, although Horatio Caine's versions are perhaps the best known - mostly due to the heaping layer of cheese added to them. Pretty much established the Necro Cam,
which it uses as a device to re-enact for the viewers every single
gruesome detail that can be extracted from a crime scene, and every
theory it spawns.The uncanny effectiveness of the show's Applied Phlebotinum has caused some to suspect that it's not actually set in the present day, but, rather, Twenty Minutes into the Future (on-screen dates, though, put it in the Present Day).The show (and its spinoffs) have given rise to what legal professionals call 'The CSI Effect':
the necessity of compressing what would normally be months worth of
delicate and time-consuming lab work into a 40-minute television episode
causes similiarly unrealistic expectations in potential real-world
jurors. As a result, the uninformed juror will assume that what they see
on the show is happening as it actually occurs, as opposed to being fabricated and accelerated for television.
