    great crime show, middle school and up

    I love this show! this is definitely a top crime show. but every episode does have violence that maybe iffy for kids 11-. there can be some sexual content but is generally not that bad. this can definitely scare kids 9-. but the detectives are good role models showing crime doesnt pay.

    Great T.V show, but not For Kids!

    This is my favorite T.V show. Although there is not much actual violence (there is still enough to make the show TV-14) , there are gruesome and realistic depictions of dead bodies. Sometimes the killer kills someone after sex so there are a couple episodes with couples kissing passionately. NOT for kids.

    A good show with goot characters and role models telling kids not to do drugs, murder, etc.

    While not being overtly violent, the gratuitous blood and gore will definately make some uneasy.

    Pretty Good

    I honestly love this show. A little bad, since they often talk about rape and murder, and they often use the words b***h, a**, ect., but I have a younger sister who also enjoys this, so if your kid can handle mature TV shows, I'd strongly suggest this.

    It a good show.

    Its a good show but I rather watch NCIS because of the techie's reactions and she has the most funny moments :] I'm one of those people who likes to watch mysteries. Even though this could be fake, but might happned in the real world.

    Iffy

    I like the show but some parts just give me the creeps.Like one episode the killer cut off the womans eyelids so she could see him kill her.Anyway it might give a younger child nightmares.

    Naughty, Naughty!

    I am 15 and i have a very open relationship with my parents whne dealing with sex and durgs. I have no qualms with talking to them about it but, I feel akward watching CSI with my parents. The show does take place in Vegas and almost very show there is something dealing with sex in it and there is almost always a scene or two of sex in the show. Drugsare also a big part in this show. Don't get me wrong, it is a good show juist not for kids.

    this is entertainment?

    this trend in modern tv really frightens me on so many levels. is it really entertainment to see people raped and murdered on a weekly basis? this show and all of its spin-offs contain so many vivid scenes of violence and graphic gruesome events and deems it "entertainment." in my opinion, it desensitizes the viewer to such situations and events, and even glorifies the crime scene. it is also very unrealistic in the evidence and participation of the CSI team.

    awesome!!

    great show. it seems like no matter how many seasons they come up with they always have a new story line, i only like the original (CSI: Las Vegas) but that is just me. however, i think parents should be present when young children are watching this show. there is a lot of cheating, lying, and violence.
