Season Eight DVD Details Revealed

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation provides fans with a few bonuses.

In July, details were revealed about the DVDs for CSI's eighth season. The set will be released on October 14, approximately one week after the ninth season premieres on CBS. The image on the back of the box set can be seen here, as well as information about special features.

As previously reported, the crossover episode of Without a Trace is included in addition to the 17 episodes of CSI aired during the strike-shortened season. The two audio commentaries featured in the set will be for "Cockroaches" and "You Kill Me". Fans will also be able to watch deleted scenes on the DVDs.

There are six featurettes included with season eight. One is titled "So Long, Sara Sidle", referring to Jorja Fox's character, who left the crime lab midway through the season. Another featurette is "William Friedkin: A Different Take". Friedkin is famous for directing such movies as The Exorcist and To Live and Die in L.A., which starred CSI's William Petersen (Gil Grissom). He came to CSI to direct "Cockroaches", one of the two episodes with audio commentary provided on the DVD set. The other featurettes are called "While the Cast's Away, the Rats Will Play", "What Happened in Vegas…", "Shot in the Dark" and "TOD: A Bug's Life".

TV Shows on DVD provided the information and the image of the DVD set's back cover. The eighth season of CSI can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com.
