What is CSI?

A rather overrated tv show that someone lots of people like despite having the shallowest plotlines of any television. The average episode is like this: Someone dies, Crime scene people examine the corpse, someone makes a witty remark about the death, they find some suspects, they interrogate the person with the same dialogue they used the previous episode, the person admits to somehow not kill-but-in-the-same-time killed the person, then they find the real culprit and rinse and repeat for 12 fucking straight seasons! Honestly, how can a show last for 12 years using the same copy paste story every single goddamn episode!

Says a lot of the American public tbh. Meanwhile, clever shows like The Wire get lots of praise but low ratings (show only lasted for 5 seasons compared to CSI who lasted for 12!) and get canceled after a few years of airing due to the dumb masses wanted to watch stupid recycled crap instead of clever and informative tv. To quote Fry from Futurama: "But that's not why people watch TV. Clever things make people feel stupid, and unexpected things make them feel scared."

A typical episode of CSI:
A body is found,
The team covers the corpse and make a corny joke about the nature of the death
They search for some suspects and bring in some people in an interrogation room
They grill on the person until he/she admits knowing how the person died and who is the killer
They find the real culprit and arrest him/her and cue the next episode of the same exact shit happening again and again.

CSI - what is it?

CSI stands for "Crime Scene Investigation," which as the name implies are a group of individuals, usually forensic scientists, within a police force who examine and process a crime scene and the evidence found there. It is also a show on CBS with reruns on SpikeTV. There are three forms of the show: CSI, CSI: Miami, and CSI: New York. Many claim that CSI is CBS's stylized response to the show Law & Order on NBC. However, the television show is just a glamorized, more "viewer friendly" view of the real CSI job.
(Taken from www.vgcats.com) "In the normal world, CSI, or Crime Scene Investigators, collect and analyze information on a crime. Their findings are then passed on to the detectives and other authorities as the criminal case makes its way down the system. However, in TV, show the CSI investigators take on nearly all aspects of the case. Even arresting and interviewig suspects. Making them some sort of Judge Dredd enforcement officer. A complete package of Judge, Jury, and Executer."

Although I like CSI and Law & Order, I personally prefer Law & Order because it's more realistic. Also, since I'm pre-law, I was upset with the court scenes on CSI.

What does "CSI" mean?

Crazy Space Incest. Term commonly used in fanfiction.
Refers to a romantic/sexual relationship between the characters Simon and River Tam on the show Firefly.
Many viewers of the show felt that there was a romantic, if not sexual, subtext between Simon and River thoughout the series, thus the term CSI, crazy space incest, erupted.

Person 1: I read a Firefly fic yesterday and it had some CSI parts in it. Do you want me to send you the link?
Person 2: Yeah, cool. I love CSI fics.

CSI - what does it mean?

Only one of the coolest shows out there. I mean come on! If you're a totally DNA, gotta solve the crime finattic like me this show nearly puts your dream job on TV and play it back to you! Yeah, some people think it's cheezey, but when you really think that people really do this stuff and the technolege that puts them away... you've got to hand it to the directers and writers they do a heck of a good job!

CSI - meaning

Crime Show Interchangeable --

Yet another example of the myriad of crime shows that have taken over TV: Bones, Cold Case, Crime Scene Investigation, Cops, Criminal Minds, Dexter, Fringe, Law & Order, Medium, NCIS, Numb3rs, Mentalist, Ghost Whisperer, etc . . .

Look! Another CSI is on. They named this one Medium, and some psychic solves the crimes.

In the real world, CSI or crime scene investigators, gather and analyze crime scene evidence and hand it over to the detectives and other proper authorities, but in the tv show, they take on all the aspects of a case, even interrogating and arresting suspects.

CSI

The original "Crime Scene Investigation" TV show that spawned a host of other official and unofficial similar series... including House.

Purportrated to be as realistic as possible, using actual procedures in the field and actual equipment in the lab. And I heard that they often base their stories on real events.

But the problem with the show as a "Who done it" is that the writers are always trying to shock their viewers as to who the killer actually is.

Knowing this going in produces the opposite effect and makes the show as predictable as Scooby Doo. For example, one of their favorite things to do is having children: teenagers, pre-teens, and sometimes even toddlers be the killer.

Some cast members:

Gil Grissom: The head of the team and a bug expert. Likes roller coasters.

Catherine Willows: Second in command and ex-stripper. Has a mob boss as a Father.

Warrick Brown: An ex-gambling addict who always looks like he's in pain.

Nick Stokes: Used to have a penchant for the ladies, but they kind of low-keyed that when the actor started losing his looks.

Sara Sidle: Advocate for abused women. I think the main reason she's there is because her name sounds like "suicidal".

ME: Whatcha' watching?
GF: CSI. I think the Father killed his wife.
ME: Father? They have a kid?
GF: Yeah, an adorable 10 year old girl.
ME: Oh... well it wasn't the Father. It was the little girl.
