What Do you think about CSI???

It's not the solving of the cases that's unbelievable -- It's the fact that CSI don't go to crime scenes by themselves, they never enter while the Police are still searching the house, and they don't enter in only their little blue outfits. CSI go in with suits that hold in all their bodily secretions, derma, and hair. And you'll never see a chick in a tiny tight tee with her boobs hanging out. What you will see: Lots of personnel in nice white lab coats and funny blue booties. Hair nets, eye goggles, white hoods, and gloves, gloves, gloves. More often than not an investigation will lag on for weeks, even months, due to the intricacies of testing. CSI as a show is wholly unrelated to the actual personnel on the job. It's romanticized, overly dramatic, and condensed. But I still love Grissom.

I'm sure some of the cases are inspired by real life ones. It just makes sense. It's just like some of the Law and Order ones are inspired by several cases out there. They take what is happening in the world to show on there that's all. They might blend and merge stories that are similiar to make one new story. Now I will agree with the other posters that CSI isn't that glamorous or exciting but they do find a lot of evidence that help to put people away. They do very important work even if it is very monotonous.

I have to kind of agree with writerbob on this one. I personally know several forensic scientists, and it is not a glamourous job as portrayed in some of the shows. I am a huge fan of CSI...all of them, but one must realize that it is just television. The way things are done on the show, isn't exactly how it goes in the real world. Forensic science is an interesting field, but it isn't easy, and the answers don't just appear and boom lead one to the subject.

I love all the csi shows they seem so real I really like them when they get the bad guys and how they solve the cases and how they make it look easy.

Of course it will! Why do you think it's impossible? Here in the Philippines, there's also a group of people who investigate crimes by collecting evidence. You're from Philippines right? You probably know the ABS-CBN show called S.O.C.O. That's kinda similar to what CSI do. But still, CSI will always be the best for me. - Ron Reyes www.ronreyes.co.nr

Far too amazing and unbelievable. the people that do the actual CSI type work (called forensics) are the type of people who are called "nerds" in school, they are as a rule definitely not hot and gorgeous, and if they were that brilliant, there would be few unsolved crimes.

Well, all the equipment they use is real and not made-up technology. Of course, only the best-funded labs would actually have all those things. The only thing I have my doubts about are the computers that can supposedly enlarge a fuzzy low-end security cam picture so that you can read a business card or whatever. So, I think that, mostly, ability to solve such crimes exists, it would just take more people (since the CSI's wouldn't actually be out catching and quesitoning people themselves) and a lot more time for the test to actually be run. I think a lot more cases are solved by detectives asking questions and giving the forensics a place or person to concentrate on, rather than the otherway around.
