CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was a popular crime/suspense show that aired on CBS. CSI follows the work and lives of the crime scene investigation unit in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a crime-based show and each episode has the cast persuing and solving crimes using the evidence found at the crime scene instead of simply listening to the witnesses. The lives and stories of Gil Grissom and his CSIs makes the show more than simply a scientific documentary.
