An Introduction to the show

Some of you I realise may be new to the amazing world of CSI, and may not know what it's about, who's in it, or anything about it at all. For some reason, I find that hard to believe, but there you go. So, if you didn't already know, here are some CSI facts.

• CSI stands for Crime Scene Investigation.
• As you can tell from the title, it's about people who investigate crimes that have happened and catch the people responsible.
• The CSI my blog is about is set in Las Vegas, USA.
• Being a CSI is a dangerous job, and you have to be observative so you don't miss any vital evidence. It can also be dangerous because of the chemicals used to process evidence. Also, some of the suspects may be disgruntled, which can lead to outbreaks of violence. Also, if you're not careful, you can be kidnapped, as Nick was in the first part of a 2-episode story, "Grave Danger".
• The first ever episode of CSI, named "Pilot", premiered in America on CBS on October 6th, 2000. It was followed by the second episode, which was a continuation of the 1st episode.
• It was created by Anthony E. Zuiker, and is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

In Las Vegas, a team of forensic investigators are trained to solve crimes by examining the evidence. They are on the case 24/7, scouring the scene, collecting the irrefutable evidence and finding the missing pieces that will solve the mystery. D.B. Russell, the new CSI Supervisor for the grave shift, comes to the team after heading the Seattle Crime Lab. He's a family man and scientist, but not a nerd. Son of hippie parents, he's a "Left Coast" Sherlock Holmes who devours crime novels and looks at every crime scene as if it were a story waiting to be told. Other members include new CSI Julie Finlay, a blood pattern expert, who previously worked with Russell in Seattle; Nick Stokes, the conscience of the team, often driven by his emotional connection to the victim to always get the job done; Sara Sidle, aka Mrs. Grissom, the moral compass of the team who is relentless in her pursuit of criminals; Greg Sanders, once an off-beat tech analyst and now an experienced and intuitive crime solver; and Morgan Brody, an exile from the Los Angeles Crime Lab and the daughter of Undersheriff Ecklie. She's a natural born investigator who still has a lot to learn about politics and family. The CSI team members also work closely with Captain Jim Brass, a seasoned detective and protector of CSI, sometimes to a fault; Dr. Albert Robbins, the ever-professional medical examiner; his wise-cracking assistant, David Phillips; and David Hodges, a tech of many talents who often rubs people the wrong way, but never fails to deliver.
