CSI: Miami (Crime Scene Investigation: Miami) is a spin-off of the CBS network series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The series is an American crime drama television series that trails the investigations of a team of Miami-Dade forensic scientists as they unveil the circumstances behind mysterious and unusual deaths and other crimes.
The pilot episode was first broadcast on May 9, 2002 as an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and seven seasons have been aired. CSI: Miami currently airs on Mondays, at 10:00 p.m. on CBS. The series is produced in partnership with the Canadian media company Alliance Atlantis and CBS Television Studios. CSI: Miami is the only show in the CSI franchise to have crossed over with both CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: NY, but is the only one out of the three which has yet to crossover with a series outside of the franchise. CSI: Miami has crossed over with CSI: NY on more than one occasion.
The show is now in syndication and reruns are currently broadcast in the United States on A&E in high definition. On May 19, 2009, CBS renewed the show for an eighth season, which will start airing during the fall of 2009. CSI: Miami is also broadcast in Ireland on RTE Two and 3e.
gatau CSI: Miami?
Like the original CSI, CSI: Miami is a police procedural about a team of forensic scientists. It is set in present-day Miami-Dade County (which mainly includes unincorporated Miami-Dade, as well as Miami, Kendall, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Opa-Locka, Key Biscayne, etc.).
The team investigates mysterious and unusual deaths to determine who killed whom and why, and also solves other serious crimes (such as rape or kidnapping). In seasons one and two the show had two cases per episode, just like its sister shows, but from season three onward the show frequently focused on a single case in each episode, or an investigation branched off from the main case (for example, episode 305, 'Legal,' in which a homicide in a nightclub is solved by Wolfe and Calleigh, while Horatio and Delko crack a prostitution ring being run by the nightclub's owner), as opposed to the two-cases-per-episode storytelling of its sister shows, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and CSI: NY. Many of its characters have appeared on all three CSI related shows because of the two-part episodes.
