What country of origin is listed for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation?

The listed country of origin for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is the United States. The series is an American police-procedural crime drama created by Anthony E. Zuiker and broadcast by CBS.

The show follows forensic investigators working for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department as they use physical evidence to solve murders and other serious crimes. Although the fictional cases take place primarily in Las Vegas, the production itself belongs to the American television industry and was made for the U.S. network CBS.

CSI first aired on October 6, 2000, and became one of the defining crime dramas of its era. Its success led to several related series, including CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, CSI: Cyber, and CSI: Vegas. The original series ran for 15 seasons and concluded with the feature-length finale “Immortality” in 2015.

A common mix-up is confusing the setting with the production origin. Las Vegas is the show’s fictional home, not a separate country or production category. The program also attracted a large international audience, but its country of origin remains the United States.
