CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - The Complete Third Season

Product Description

Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/01/2007

Amazon.com

Now firmly established as the top-rated television drama, by its third year CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a show positively glowing with confidence. Even when individual cases seem either too contrived or too easily resolved, the indefatigable night shift at the Las Vegas PD crime lab always look the part, solving conundrums and discovering microscopic damning evidence while, apparently, never shedding their own loose hair or skin cells all over the supposedly quarantined crime scenes. In reality, Catherine Willows's flowing blonde locks would contaminate any evidence she collected, but in the world of CSI only the bad guys leave body parts behind--the CSIs themselves are so good they're positively pristine.

The 23 episodes of season 3 on this five-disc set present more deliciously bizarre situations for the problem-solving sleuths: cannibalism, snuff movies, dwarfs, death while drag racing, bodies falling from the sky, and various dismemberments all tax the team's acumen. These are all double or multiple-case episodes, though in a characteristic trick of the writing sometimes apparently unrelated murders turn out to be connected (or vice versa, as in "Blood Lust," in which a road-accident victim is not what he seems, and the death of the driver at the hands of an angry mob is made all the more tragic). The mix of genuine forensic science with the glossiest Jerry Bruckheimer production values, plus the virtues of a good ensemble cast headed by William Peterson's modern-day Sherlock Holmes, remains as compelling as ever. --Mark Walker

    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.

    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:
    *Episode 302: "Revenge is Best Served Cold"
    **Episode 301: "The Accused is Entitled"
    Episode 303: "Let the Seller Beware"
    Episode 304: "A Little Murder"

    DISK 2:
    Episode 306: "Abra Cadaver"
    Episode 305: "The Execution of Catherine Willows"
    ***Episode 307: "Fright Night" (Emmy Award Winning Episode)
    ^Episode 308: "Snuff"

    DISK 3:
    Episode 309: "Blood Lust"
    Episode 310:... Read more
