The eighth season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation begins with the answer to the previous season's cliffhanger: Yes, CSI Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) survives. But fans of this top-rated crime procedural won't be able to breathe a sigh of relief. By the end of the 17 episodes--which originally aired during the 2007-2008 television season--two fan favorites will be gone. This year, CSI explores the complicated romance between Sara and head CSI Gil Grissom (William Petersen). But the storyline is weaved in so well with the gruesome cases that their relationship is never overpowering to the viewer. Though the show was truncated due to the Writers Guild strike, the flow of the series doesn't lose any momentum--not even with the loss of cast members or even episodes that center on peripheral supporting characters. Fellow CSIs Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger), Nick Stokes (George Eads), and Warrick Brown (Gary Dourdan) return to help solve seemingly unsolvable cases. But not all of the best moments involve whodunits. Some of the most compelling vignettes revolve around Warrick, who is battling a nasty prescription drug addiction as he tries to navigate his way through a messy divorce. Longtime fans of the series may remember child genius Hannah West (portrayed chillingly by Juliette Goglia), who helped get her brother acquitted of a murder charge in season six. She is back after her brother is once again charged with homicide. Sara--who had wrongfully believed that Hannah was just an innocent little girl--finds herself unable to distance herself from this case. There is a crossover ratings stunt episode with Jack Malone (Anthony LaPaglia) visiting from CBS' other drama Without a Trace. While both LaPaglia and Petersen are formidable, there really isn't room for both of them on one show. And let's face it, Petersen's our guy. --Jae-Ha Kim

CSI: Cool! Spectacular! Incredible!:
Season 8 doesn't disappoint. The series gets better all the time. I can't wait for season 9.
no play all :(:
Love CSI - greatly do. great episodes. love catherine (my fav)
love owning every season to watch whenever i want, But I'm mildly Ticked that they took off the "play all" feature. So instead of being able to just put the disk in, hit play all, and wander around doing whatever I want, cleaning, art, whatever - I have to stop at the end of each episode to play the next one. and to me. That sucks! but other than that. Love it!
greaat:
this is great, shame so many of the charcters leave are leaving. will it be the same CSI at the end of next season.
Brilliant show:
I have been a fan of csi since tha start and can highly recommend the main csi show, i think the new york spin off is weak, the characters a bit souless and the miami one is nearly as good as the original, but horatio (the lead detective) is a bit of a poser and a bit hard to warm up to. The show is very entertaining, well written and apart from one issue very consistant, the show makes you think, but not stress you out trying to follow the cases. This season grissom's co-worker/love interst sarah... more info
