Description of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - The Eighth Season:
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

HIghly recommend Amazon!!
Time to end this one, it has run its course.... 
2009-10-09 - The first 7 seasons were always entertaining, the stories were always engaging, but with this Season 8, I felt a bit disappointed, Louise Lombard(female blond detective) & the other male detective(can't remember his name) are gone leaving only Brass as the lead detective who of course never fails to make me laugh with his one-liners, Sara Sidle(Jorja Fox) departs which was disappointing, Fox is what got me watching in the first place, never got tired of watching her, & Grissom who has always been somewhat one-dimensional becomes even more so, don't get me wrong I really like William Peterson as an actor, but his Grissom never seems to ever have the flair that David Caruso & Gary Sinise's characters have in the spin-offs "Miami" & "New York", not that this season is bad, it just to me wasn't engaging, I mean when people are bleeding what appears to be green blood, you know the show has run its course, or the one where Katy Segal is a muredered Hollywood star who had her assistant look like her & both were involved with a not-so-bright producer, & the episode itself plays like a sitcom, maybe the writer's strike had somthing to do with this, I don't know, & why do we always have to see a dead person's brain??? the spin-offs "Miami & NY" don't ever show this, why does this one??? somtimes I think the producers have a twisted sense of humor, the previous seasons did this too, enough with the brains already!!!!, also Warrick dies in the last episode, you know when cast members start leaving it can only mean that they feel the same way as I do, Warrick & Sara are two of my favorites on this show, & I am not even sure Season 9 is worth watching, especially considering that Grissom even leaves in Season 9, again this one has run its course, unlike its spin-offs which have not(yet), but unfortunately CBS is going to milk this show to death even though "Miami & NY" which have not run out of engaging stories(yet) could just as easily carry the network, but again, networks have lost their creative edge & can't really come up with anything new anyway, so they are going to milk the original C.S.I. to no end, there are some good episodes, the "Without a Trace" two-part episode is good as is the first 4 episodes of the season "Dead Doll", "a-la-cart", ETC, but the last few are just ridiculous.
Great product at a great price!!
2009-09-25 - I was very satisfied with the condition of the product at the price I got it at.
