I've only watched a few episodes of each of the series so I'm not the best judge to pick which one is the best. But, I always like to start at the beginning of things, so I would probably start with the original series CSI.

I like the original, in Las Vegas, (with that dude from Manhunter, Peterson...?) a lot and think that it's a good show to recommend.

I don't care for "New York" (Gary Sinise), but will admit I have not watched a full episode, because I didn't care.

I have watched several episodes of "Miami" and wonder why, as I hate it with a passion. David Caruso is not a bad actor but really comes off as a one-trick-pony here.

I really like the original one..Las Vegas.  I have a few seasons and hope to get more at some point.

I couldn't get through one episode of Miami..not sure what it was now, but I couldn't stand it.  I got through a few episodes of New York, but I gave up on it too.  I didn't care for something about that one either.

It's overly dramiatic in general, made worse by Caruso's constant use of dramatic pauses in his.....
