I stumbled upon this item looking for information on the 3rd Season release. I've searched around on other sites and *apparently* this DVD set is the first 12 episodes of Season 1. It *apparently* is a Canadian release, but who knows. All I know is if you own the Season 1 set, don't buy this. Mind you, all this is second hand info, but I found it on a site I trust. I myself don't own this set, I do own the 1st & 2nd Season sets, though, and HIGHLY recommend them. Hope this helps.

This is a Canadian release that I bought about 3 months before the complete season 1 was released (after which I had to find the Canadian release of the Early Cases vol. 2 to get the rest of season 1). As for the sound issue someone brought up, remember that this is only a Dolby Digital 2.0 recording, not a 5.1 like season 2. Therefore, you will really enhance your listening experience if you add a digital audio receiver with optical input and then listen to the episodes in Dolby ProLogic or ProLogic II. When I watch in PL II, I experience none of the problems you have encountered.

Sooooo..... is this part of CSI the series? If so, where does it fit in? Is it a single DVD that's got stuff that's part of what's been released in a set, is it something completely different? ...I'm a bit confused and don't want to buy it if I'm going to get stuff that's already in the complete series set.

Anyone out there know?

A truly undeniable best buy. CSI is one of those rare shows that combines intelligent plots/stories with compelling drama and characters that you can respect. CSI was always visually appealing with obviously a great deal of time spent on the special effects used throughout each story, but the DVD brings this to light even more with the more crisp vibrant image imaginable.

THIS is the only way to really appreciate this show. Getting to watch in sequence, grow with the characters and following some common threads from one story to the next only hightens this already phenomenal series.

This is a terrific transfer of a great teevee series! The only problem I have is the cost. Most teevee series' coming out on DVD include a full season on 6 or 7 disks for around the same price as a half season of CSI. I hope the distributors get more in line with their competitors or we won't see any more CSI on DVD.

This number one rated show has twelve episodes from the first season and is unbelievable, this thrilling criminal investigation program uses all the technolodgy available and is one that will contain its emotional roller coaster all the way through the show. A must see for any Sci Fi buff!

My sister bought CSI: Early Cases. I'm watching the second episode right now. The show itself is great fun to watch, although I did have to get through the whole "it doesn't really work that way" thing (husband and dad are cops, friend is CSI).
My problem with this set is that the sound varies wildly in volume. Anything with music is too loud, anything with speech is too soft. There is no happy medium. I've been watching it with the subtitles on (a nice feature) because the sound is so bad.
The video looks good, but I probably wouldn't buy this for myself and I sure won't be buying the full series until I find out if the sound is better.

I love CSI: and anyone who likes CSI: this is a must have. I find watching the DVD's better because you don't have commercials. This DVD set has every CSI: episode from the first season plus a whole bunch of extra material including a music video for Who are you performed by no other than The Who and some behind the sences fotage. So buy this set. Thanks

This DVD covers only the first half of season one but it is absolutely worth the money. It is a great way to watch the characters develop. I am very glad this finally came out on DVD.

The best DVDs I got, the intrigue, whodunnit, the characters, ... are all top-notch. Each episode is better than some of the big budget movies ... e.g. silence of the lamb. It was pricey when it came out, but not anymore. It's worth every penny you spend...
