* CreatorBacklash: Both William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger were against the idea of a CSI spin-off, feeling it was too soon (which is justified since it was announced over a year after the show's start), hence why Grissom doesn't share any lines or scenes with the ''Series/CSIMiami'' cast for the PoorlyDisguisedPilot "Cross Jurisdictions"m

!!This series has [[TropeNamers named the following tropes]]:

* TheCSIEffect
** Lampshaded in an episode where they become the subject of a ShowWithinAShow and mention that everything is edited together to make it look faster.
** Also lampshaded in a later episode when Hodges mentions that he's convinced everyone that most of the advanced equipment he operates takes twice as long to work as it actually does in order to get more free time.
* FingerprintingAir
** Note that on many occasions the characters complain about the lack of useful fingerprints, and sometimes the fingerprint collected doesn't match anything on the OmniscientDatabase.
** They subverted this in one episode - a cleanly lifted print in an old case is shown to be fabricated because there was no way that it could have been lifted from the surface claimed (an alligator-skin wallet).

* ScienceMarchesOn: Season 1's Strip Strangler never left DNA behind and seemingly taunted the [=CSIs=] at one point by leaving behind one hair without follicle, and no nuclear DNA as a result (it was later learned that the guy shaved all the hair in his body and wore a wig). It is now possible to retrieve mitochondrial DNA from hair without follicles and use it to identify a person, although it is certainly more costly, difficult, and only reduces possible identities to people with the same maternal ancestry.
