Introduction:> CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (commonly referred to as CSI or CSI: Las Vegas) is a popular, Emmy Award-winning CBS television series that trails the investigations of a team of Las Vegas forensic scientists as they unveil the circumstances behind mysterious and unusual deaths and crimes committed.
CSI is produced in partnership with the Canadian media company Alliance Atlantis. On May 16, 2007, CBS renewed the show for an eighth season. Season 8 began production in July and began airing on Thursday September 27, 2007.
There are two inmediate spin-offs to this show, CSI:Miami and CSI:NY.
Conception and development> During the 1990s Anthony Zuiker a Las Vegas tram shuttle driver, caught producer Jerry Bruckheimer's attention after writing his first movie script. Bruckheimer wanted an idea for a television series, Zuiker didn't have one but his wife told him about a Discovery channel show she liked about forensic detectives who used DNA and other evidence to solve cold cases (probably The New Detectives). Zuiker started spending time with real-life LVPD crime investigators and was convinced that there was a series in the concept, Bruckheimer agreed and arranged a meeting with the head of Touchstone Pictures. The studio’s head at the time liked the script and presented it to ABC network executives, who decided to pass. The head of drama development at CBS saw potential in the script, plus the network had a pay or play contract with actor William Petersen who said he wanted to do the CSI pilot. The network's executives liked the pilot so much, they decided to include it in their 2000 schedule immediately, airing on Fridays after The Fugitive, a remake of the sixties show. Initially it was thought that CSI would benefit from The Fugitive, which was expected to be a hit, it was the other way around and by the end of the year 2000 CSI had a much larger audience.
