Not the best for tweens and young teens
I personaly love this show since I am very much into anything involving local law enforcment and forensic scientists. I personaly have never been effected by dead bodies or gory scenes. I started watching CSI when I was 11. Most kids and teens however might be frightened or become uncomfortable watching some of the scenes. There are also some issues with language that parents might not approve of. Over all a lot of older teens and adults might enjoy this show but much younger than that and it might not be the best pick.

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.

Great show
Great show. Gruesome in every episode, but unless you're absolutely squeamish, it should be ok. Like House, Grissom has some personality issues. He gets threatened to get kicked off of many cases and does get kicked off of several. But, hey, no one is perfect. There are frequent sex-orientated crimes and drug-orientated crimes, but flip on the news, and you'll be looking at a less interesting, more depressing version of how people die.

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.

NO KIDS ALLOWED Tough Teens
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, along with the rest of the series, are as much as an inside of the crime lab as the regular citizen can get. This includes great but gruesome effects of crime scenes, reinactments(excuse spelling), and the suspense of mystery. There is swearing, but it is not a major concern. Do NOT let your children watch this show or any other CSI series. They would honestly be traumatized. As the title implies, this is for Tough Teens and Adults only. The messages aren't positive to any teen or young adult, but they most likely will not poison your teen's mind. This is definately violent and will include shootings, chases, and high action thriler. This series is a roller for 13+ and that is that. Shoot! Even I close my eyes sometimes!

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.

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.

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.
