The first season of ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'' premiered on CBS on October 6, 2000, and ended on May 17, 2001. It was rereleased on Blu-ray on May 12, 2009. This is the only season of the ''CSI'' franchise that was broadcast in the 4:3 aspect ratio. It was, however, filmed in 16:9, and the widescreen versions of the episodes are present on the Blu-ray release. == Casting == William Petersen was the first actor to be cast, in the lead role of Dr. Gil Grissom, a forensic entomologist and head of the Las Vegas Crime Lab's grave-yard shift. Petersen then went on to sit in on auditions for the roles of Catherine Willows, Holly Gribbs, Warrick Brown and Jim Brass. Marg Helgenberger was next to be cast as Catherine Willows; Brass was given to Paul Guilfoyle, Gribbs to Chandra West, and Brown to Gary Dourdan. George Eads auditioned for the role of Stokes, a character that was never planned to be part of the regular cast, and eventually was chosen over the other auditionees; the role was expanded to a series regular when Eads was shown to have chemistry with the rest of the cast. Sanders, a minor recurring character, was given to Eric Szmanda; he would later become a regular. Following the season premiere, titled "Pilot", the character of Gribbs was found to be unpopular and was killed off; almost immediately after the test audience's responses came in, West was fired, and casting began for Sara Sidle, a CSI-3 and love interest for Grissom. Jorja Fox originally refused to audition for the role because she was happy in her previous job, but after people kept telling her about ''CSI'', she went to speak to Zuiker and won the role. Robert David Hall and David Berman were cast as Al Robbins and David Phillips, respectively; they first appeared in the sixth and fifth episodes of the first season, respectively, and have since both become regulars. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (season 1)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
