- TriviaOn the flip side of the CSI effect, kidnap and rape victims are now known to leave their own DNA behind at crime scenes to give police forensic evidence to find. An example of this is how British serial sex attacker Jonathan Haynes was eventually caught. Haynes, who had avoided capture by forcing his victims to destroy forensic evidence was finally apprehended after the CSI effect was used against him when one of his victims ensured her DNA could be traced back to her attacker by spitting in his car and pulling out strands of her own hair. Her inspiration for this act? The CSI franchise.
- GoofsCSIs (Crime Scene Investigators) are actually called Forensic Technicians who work in teams called CSUs (Crime Scene Units) in the City of New York. However, this is most likely a deliberate change to better tie in the series as existing in the same universe as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2000) and CSI: Miami (2002).

Give it a chance
When most TV shows have spinoffs, they're usually not worth watching because of thing-they are different than the original. I think that is a major reason that many fans don't like CSI:NY. While the original show is set in glamorous Las Vegas, NY is set in a much darker city, giving the show a darker tone and feel than Miami or Vegas.
As for characters, New York has a great cast, and is still working on character development. They have been seen as not having personalities, but people have to give the show a chance to find it's foothold-it's only the first season. It took the original CSI five years to say that Sara's mom killed her dad, so its logical that it will take a few seasons to totally tell these characters backgrounds. Danny Messer and Mac Taylor's pasts have been partially revealed in the premiere "Blink", with the knowledge that Max Taylor's wife was in 9/11, and in "Tanglewood", with Danny's involvement in the Tanglewood boys street gang.
The acting in CSI:NY is just as good as those in the other shows, but most people aren't giving it a chance. Some will like it, some wont, but the least they could do is watch some of the stronger episodes, like "Blink", or "Tanglewood", and not scrunitze its difference from the originals...just give it a chance. Rome wasn't built in a day- it will take a little longer for people to accept this new show, but i think it's doing perfectly, and i can't wait for next season.
