Hey there everyone! I just found out that CSI:Fanatic has been listed as part of Hey! Nielsen’s TV Blogger contest.

Lynn and I would sure love it if you all could head on over there and vote for us!

The CSI:NY website on the CBS servers has gotten a facelift along with some other CBS show properties.

The CSI:Vegas and CSI:Miami websites weren’t included in the group. I wonder why?

That’s right CSI:Fanatics, CSI:Vegas is #1 in both contributions and page views, with CSI:Miami taking #6 and #7 respectively.

Have you visited the CSI wiki’s lately? As you can see from the stats above provided by the wiki creators, Wet Paint, there’s quite a bit of activity on the sites from the fan community.

As you can see from the stats above, CSI is popular among the different wiki sites hat are setup by Wetpaint.

CSI:Vegas and CSI:Miami are #1 and #6 respectively for contributions and CSI:Vegas is #2 for Most Page Views. They’re only getting beaten by Big Brother 8 which just had their finale so of course they had some extra traffic because of all that drama.

As an art minor myself in college, I can tell you creating that kind of art with what appears to be charcoal and pencil is pretty stinking challenging in my opinion.

Hedi is going to be sending us some more of her stuff in the future, but here’s another one of her drawings of George Eads showing the original photo and her art based on it.

Do you have CSI artwork you’d like to share? Just let me know at jason@b5media.com and we’ll be sure to share it with everyone else. If you’d like to see more of Hedi’s talent outside of CSI, just visit her website or MySpace page for more.

Two of the sites we link to and reference regularly are the CSI wiki’s that have been produced by Wetpaint and CBS. They are striving fan communities for the CSI: Vegas and CSI:Miami.

Now they’ve finally closed out the series loop and have launched their CSI:NY Wiki available here.

• CSI: Vegas Wiki
• CSI: Miami Wiki
• CSI: NY Wiki

Not that I normally bandy this kind of information about. Having a CSI obsession is not, after all, the same as being really into, say, Life on Mars or Heroes. It’s like getting really, really into a souped-up version of The Bill, with additional spraying and cotton buds. But it’s the small things that count: Sunhill’s finest never stride around sending things to “Trace”, or reach for the UV light or, even better, the Z-nose. Even the fact that all three CSI series rely on exactly the same formula – enigmatic guy leading the lab, beautiful but formidable woman second-in-command, young and gorgeous CSIs bringing up the rear, and cynical male detective on the side – is not enough to break its spell. Not even David Caruso’s. Quite. Ridiculous. Speech patterns. Can detract from its faux-scientific appeal.

Glad to see the fanatic trend is spreading far and wide across the globe. She even shares my opinions of David Caruso’s Horatio.

The challenge though is that she mentioned another show and barely said anything about it, but it piqued my interest in seeing it. Something called Spooks about a British spy in Prada? After jumping with her link to the Wikipedia entry about the show, it says that our own “House, M.D.”, Hugh Laurie makes appearances as well. What could be better!

They’re running behind Big Brother 8, which I just don’t get. That’s one reality TV show that has just never grabbed my attention like the others.

Now for Page Views, they’re running behind Big Brother 8 and Pirate Master. I’ve really gotten into Pirate Master, I’ll be catching up on that episode later this evening.

As you can see from the graphic to the left, it’s one of the most popular sites they’re running over there.

It’s loaded with great information and features for CSI:Fanatics like yourself.

The CSI Wiki has sections for “Behind the Scenes”, the cast, episode guides, loads of pictures, videos created by fans, contests, and large topics of discussion like “The Miniature Killer” and “Relationships” on the show.
