C.S.I.: Season 1 Re-release!
From tvguide via tvshowsondvd.com:
Damnit. I only bought season 1 because I never thought in a million years they would re-release it. Probably one of only a few times I succomed and bought full-screen due to lack of a WS release. Despite my frustration, I hope they do this one right and put the anamorphic transfers on there.
While fans may not recall the first season as being very character-focused, (the February 27 edition of) TV Guide revealed the producers had originally planned to introduce an office romance as early as in the original "Pilot" for the show. In a scene that was filmed but never shown, Catherine (Willows) was apparently making out with Nick Stokes. This lost plot line will likely never be picked up again, but fans will finally be able to watch this deleted scene later this year. The magazine reported Paramount is currently planning to release a new version of the first-season DVD box set that will come with all-new bonus features not included on the original release.

Well there goes my first huge investment down the tubes. I'll have to really think if I will actually sit and watch all of the episodes/cases again and if it will really be worth the 65 plus dollars (again) that I'm sure they will be asking for it.

Star Trek was re-released in season sets a few years after it had completed its two episode per disc, 40 disc run, but with substantial extras not originally included.
The Twilight Zone has recently begun releasing in season sets after two or three inferior releases.
"I Love Lucy" is re-releasing its first season to more closely match the subsequent season set releases.
"Sex and the City" is re-releasing its entire series with extras not originally included.
"Andromeda" and "Mutant X" continue to release multi-episode Volumes, only to be combined later as Season Sets at a reduced rate.

Now if only Columbia would rerelease The King of Queens in widescreen Id be a happy person (kinda irks me when the review on this site mentions its in its original TV aspect ratio of 4:3).

Ditto on holding off on the purchase of this set, I never support FS versions. Here's to those who held out, I really do believe we do make a difference to the sales numbers of these dvd releases.

My wife and recently discovered CSI in reruns and really enjoy it, but I wonder about the rewatch factor. Do they hold up to repeated viewings? Otherwise I'll just program them on my DVR.

I tried rewatching some episodes when they were on Spike! Though I am a huge CSI fan, it doesn't really hold up to repeated viewings. I was suprised, as I thought i'd kept attention to the details since I knew who the killers are in each episode.

If for some reason thats not what was intended, then why bother doing it in HD in the first place, or why not do a dual release to appease me like they do with all the fullscreen releases of big movies.

I'm not a huge CSI fan, though I do like CSI:NY and NCIS (if you count that one) ..but I've seen one or two over the years and haven't picked up any seasons because I knew S1 wasn't widescreen when it could have been, but I'd pick it up if the re-release is WS..

CSI season one in widescreeen ever?
Alright I did the search but couldn't find anything. I remember reading something about CSI season one being rereleased in widescreen like seasons 2-4. Has anyone hear od any updates?
Also, hasd anyone bought CSI: Miami? How does it look and sound? I would assume it's similar to CSI, but it's so much cheper for season sets it makes me wonder.
