I've just purchased CSI NY season 5, and I am thrilled. Each season's episodes of the show get better & better. The quality of the scripts and the great actors are what make a dvd set for me. Like most people, I really don't care whether there are Bonus Features or Special features. Sure, they're nice to have, but I don't buy a dvd for that! I love this show more & more each year & I guess most tv viewers agree with me, because this show is in the top 20 in ratings every week!!! Keep them coming!!!

The feel here is totally different from the mother series--CSI. Gary Sinese and ALL the cast are great, and really come together as a unit. Very original stories. Purchased through Amazon. Highly recommended.

Killers using avatars to lure people to their doom. A runner shows up at a firesale on wedding dresses and ends up dead from a simple push. A Nazi selling family heirlooms from the Holocaust. The fifth season of CSI:NY continued to have fascinating, challenging stories and changes that would effect the characters personally. This remains my favorite of the "CSI" shows (I dislike the overwrought "CSI: Miami" compared to the more down-to-Earth "CSI: NY" but that's me. When David Caruso takes off his sunglasses and throws out those snappy one-liners it reminds me of a bad Shatner moment).

We have a crew of great guest stars including Ed Asner in an uncharacteristic role (at least this late in his career although he might have played this type of role earlier in his career before "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Lou Grant"--which by the way where IS "Lou Grant" on DVD?).

The fifth season looks quite good although there is a noticeable video noise on a number of episodes but, not a surprise, given that there are four episodes on eath DVD. The one issue I have with the fifth season is the lack of commentary tracks. I realize it doesn't matter to everyone but when I watch an episode for a second or third time I like to hear the behind-the-scenes drama/issues that the production crew have.

We get a number of solid extras here which fans will enjoy but I hope that Paramount/CBS will resume including commentary tracks for the next season.

This is my second time writing a review for CSI:New York, I dont know why they didn't published it but my guess is that my review is too short. All I can say for now is this show is my number 2 favorite crime show on tv.

I don't have time to watch network television on a schedule and Tivo/DirectTVing can also be bothersome, so I just buy Season Sets of shows that strike my interest. As far as the CSI franchise is concerned, it took until Season 5 was complete before I ever watched a single episode, but I enjoyed it all through the Grissom years---not so much since.

Although I despise David Caruso as an actor (and, if possible, he has gotten worse through the years of CSI, with his ego dripping all over his horrendously delivered lines and awkwardly cocked head), I listened to suggestions and bought the first season of CSI:MIAMI. It was (and is) also very good----though not as good as the original. I have liked all of the other characters on MIAMI and the story lines have been generally appealing, so I have continued to watch.

I did hesitate a long time before jumping into CSI:NY, as I did not think that yet ANOTHER Crime Scene Investigation show could hold my interest.

WAS I WRONG.

CSI:NY, from the beginning, has been by far the best of the CSI Franchise. Across the board, the acting is superior, the characters and their relationships between and among each other is at least as good as CSI:Orig and much better than MIAMI, and the stories are a much better balance of lab-techno and human interest.

I have just completed viewing SEASON 5, and it was the best yet. Let other reviewers give spoilers---I will avoid that---but the familiarity of the characters and their relationships is what really makes this series. If other viewers complain that there is not enough technical/medical/forensics babble on the program, what can I say? People are enthralled with different things. I prefer the human element standing out within the context of a police/laboratory setting.

I know it will not happen, because CSI:NY is the lowest rated of the three series and barely escaped cancellation at the end of Season 7, but I hope this show runs another 10 years. It deserves it.

This series seems to be getting better and better. I didn't think my allegiance could change from the original to a newer one but I have to say that CSI:NY does the trick. Long may it continue (along with my other love CSI:Miami

This season will make you want to pop in the next episode. I am pleased with my purchase and can't wait to get season 6 in the mail!

Don't get to watch much TV so I order CSI New York because I like Gary Sinise. Was not disappointed. Now I have seasons 1-5 and will continue to purchase until series is cancelled. Which I hope it never is cancelled. wonderful buy.

This product was excellent and as promised by the seller. I always enjoy the stories and characters for CSI: NY and this is no exception. Anyone who likes CSI will love this season.

Csi keeps getting better. Would love to see more still on a personal level.Happy it arrived before promised time of arrival.
