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

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Classic [Rating: 5 out of 5]
A smash hit from the moment of its 2000 debut, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION has continued to remain one of the most popular, innovative, and critically acclaimed crime dramas in television history. Created by Anthony Zuiker and executive produced by movie maven Jerry Bruckheimer, the thrilling series centers on the Las Vegas Police Department's night-shift forensics unit, which utilizes cutting-edge technology to solve the often grisly crimes of a glamorous city whose constant influx of visitors makes it rife with criminal elements. Quickwitted detective Gil Grissom (William Petersen) leads the highly-skilled investigative team that includes his single-mother partner, Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger); hair and fiber expert, Nick Stokes (George Eads); former gambling addict, Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan); and fresh-faced newbie, Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) with the help of tough-as-nails police captain, Jim Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) and efficient lab coroner Dr. Al Robbins (Robert David Hall). Heavy on science, creative camerawork, and uncomfortably graphic depictions of violence, CSI is revered by fans and critics alike for its consistently gripping and well-written storylines, often inspired by real-life cases. This collection presents all 23 episodes from the series' third season.2) Great TV! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Keeps you guessing, has a little bit of gore, and is still my favorite show on TV!3) Excellent [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This box set is a must have for CSI fans. I will be buying the 7th season.4) Charecters Growing Old [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Starting too tire of the crews attitude and arrogance. They are cops for Pete's sake, not the end all of morality and all that is good. The episodes are starting to blend together and all have a familiar undertone of we are better then you feeling. These folks need a good dose of humble pie.5) I love it. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I am a big fan of CSI and I loved the third season.
