I think it's a huge improvement over the past couple of years. Now I find myself eagerly awaiting the next episode of CSI and even though the Vegas version has always been my favorite, I've only been lukewarm to new episodes as of late. I hope they have more of Katherine and less of Sara, too.

Sara's always rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it's what I perceive as a bad attitude on her part. Maybe it's that her natural facial expression looks as if she's just smelled a fart. Either way, the first two episodes of this season had me glued to the TV.

I say, so far, mission accomplished.

I'm not really a fan of the new changes. I want each story to be done with during an episode. It seems like they went from a winning formula to one that may put off some of the fans.

I love it and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. Not a huge fan of Sara's myself, but the tension between her and Gris and the obvious fact no one in the office knows what's going on it a great underlying storyline.

I do agree about Nick. He's getting old and how he didn't notice Kathrine was gone, or didn't go to say good bye or anything like that just bugged me.

VAST improvement. I was so bored with this show, I wasn't sure I would watch this season, I tuned in and...I am hooked worse than ever! Count me in the "loving it!" column.

I think the show is great although I hate two-parters.

I also love the fact that we might see a different side of Grisom because he is seeing Sara. Sara has always puzzled me. I never really "got" her character but I think she is also a reason why I keep watching.
I guess it's good to see a different side of her as well.
I love Warwick to; I really thought he and Katherine would "mix it up a bit". That would be hot!

Lastly, I would love to see an episode that combined all 3 cast members in some way.
I wonder if that can happen in the future perhaps.

I Love the New format.. Like others I really look forward to the next episode. I just recently became a HUGE CSI (Vegas) fan, but for some reason I cant get into the others (NY, Miami)

It was time to shake things up, but the concept and execution may simply be wearing out its welcome after a very healthy run.

NY: Bad writing/dialogue
Miami: Bad acting - re: Caruso

Vegas is the best and only version I watch.

The dialogue could be bumped up a notch or two, but I really liked the last episode that I watched. Murder police rarely solve things as quick as CSI makes it seem, so this is a good improvement. Now they just need to borrow more pages from the Homicide:LotS playbook.

I love the new format. I find myself wanting to watch CSI before Grey's and I never thought that would happen. Before it was a solid show you could save for the weekend or something when you had nothing else to watch but now it's must see tv and makes you want to find out what happens next. I don't really watch the other CSI shows so I can't really comment on those.

I like the new format. they still keep to the theme of the show. The Evidence.

Carry overs from one to the other keep me watching in order.

I just want to know why you keep writing for CSI when you clearly don't like them. Wouldn't your writing talents or lack..there..nevermind..we won't go there..

I am a huge CSI franchise fan. Miami-well to be honest it took me a little while to get into it, but it grows on ya.

CSI (Vegas) will always be my favorite, and despite the open ended cases, I am strangely fascinated with the season so far. Definetly has more intriguing scenarios-I really like the explosive nature of the Catharine-Sam relationship. I think this season will definetly be related to Catharine all the way.

Season opener kinda threw me for a loop, I've always liked the Nick Stokes character-until last season, but really-how the hell did he not notice Catharine went missing? In all honesty-Nick's character has been less and less like the original Nick since the Quentin Tarantino season finale where he was buried alive.

I am not digging the fact that they got Warrick Brown married off-and so far its seemed kind of sloppy the way they tried to work his missus, Dr. Tina Brown into the mix.

I think CSI may be getting beat in the ratings by Grey's Anatomy (Which I love and they should have left in the Sunday line up simply because there's nothing else on!) because a lot of fans didn't like the breaking up of the team. I know, and I am a huge fan, it was hard for me to watch them working as seperate units.

Maybe mixing things up and grabbing the attention of their fans again will do the trick for CSI. I dread the day when its announced there won't be anymore original CSI because the cast wants to move on.

I still watch Grey's-I just tape it and watch it later. I still think that was a bad move-what are we supposed to watch on Sunday nights now LOL ;) Keep smiling.

I love CSI period.! I atarted watching in the middle of season 3 and I have not missed an episode since. But I have a bit of a conundrum, in that I have watched Grey's Anantomy from the pilot episode and it's the best guilty pleasure there is (but it works better with Desperate Housewives on Sunday night's) like many other's I am annoyed at it's new timeslot opposite CSI...and as I said...I love CSI (I watch them all)...period! So here is my solution...I can watch CSI on Thursday at it's regular time and I can TiVo Grey's or watch Grey's...online...and I don't have to miss either show...there by allowing me to have my cake...and eat it too.

Unlike most of your other viewers, I'm very disappointed in the "new" CSI. It feels like a soap opera. Perhaps it's trying to compete with Grey's Anatomy by becoming more like it. I like well written police procedurals, which CSI used to be. I also find William Peterson's acting to be increasingly wooden, which suggests to me he's as bored as I am at this point. When a great actor gives up, that's what happens. Nope. I'm not into this soaped up CSI.

I think that calling a show whose main in-relationship characters haven't even touched yet a "soap" is absolutely ridiculous. Whatever spark CSI was missing last year, it has back in spades. I'm enjoying it a LOT.

Yes, yes, am really liking the new stuff they are doing on CSI. I find myself thinking about those miniature crime scene creations in between shows. I have never stopped liking CSI from its onset but I think it's great that they are doing the show this way this year. It's refreshing.

I do watch CSI:NY and like it. I didn't start watching CSI:Miami just because of the Caruso guy but I finally succumbed to watching it last year and it has grown on me. But CSI, the original, is the best.
