Category: Crime Scene Investigation

In 2012, "CSI" earned the "International Television Audience Award for a Drama TV Series," which was the fifth time the show managed to snag the aforementioned award (viaHuffPost). This meant that "CSI" was the most popular television show in the world, and it attracted an average of 63 million global viewers per episode (viaMystery Tribune). To put things into perspective, the series finale of "Game of Thrones" had 19.3 million viewers or around 44 million with later streaming, as reported byCNN.

The show has even had a real-life impact, which is referred to as the "CSI Effect." This is the concept that viewers of the popular television show have wildly different expectations as to what is possible with forensic science, believing prosecutors should have to present more forensic types of evidence during trials, according to SSRN. Ultimately, "CSI" was one of the biggest hits in recent television history, and with 337 episodes in the main series, "CSI" will likely run in syndication for a long time.
