CSI
While keeping abreast of cutting-edge technologies, CSI combines
the ingenuity (and fallibility) of villains with the appealing humanity of
its heroes. CSI director and entomologist Gil Grissom (played by series co producer
William Petersen) is introverted but ethically intense; he's both mentor
and moral compass for his night-shift team, including a former
stripper-turned-CSI , Katherine Willows; a recovering gambler Warrick; an
eager ace Nick Soakes with room for improvement; a workaholic Sara Siddle
who can't always remain emotionally detached from her cases; and a chief
detective Captain Brass who's a necessary link to police procedure. Like The
X-Files, CSI supports its characters with feature-film
production values, employing a Rashomon structure that turns murder
into a progressively accurate study of cause and effect. Script quality is
consistently high ("Blood Drops" and "Unfriendly
Skies" are exceptional), direction is slick and sophisticated, and
the mysteries are complex enough to invite multiple viewings. Despite a
regrettable shortage of DVD features, CSI's inaugural season
remains addictively worthy of its lofty reputation. --Jeff Shannon
Based on real life
Las Vegas
crime scene investigators, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION follows the team
as they solve chilling cases with innovative thinking and methodical
scientific inquiry. Tackling cases peppered with grisly details, the Las
Vegas PD Criminalistics Division is the #2 crime lab in the
U.S.
, solving crimes that practically every other crime lab has given up on.
Set in a town whose reputation for providing instant success for those
willing to try their luck, CSI finds that the constant influx of visitors
to the city that never sleeps also provides ripe targets for criminals of
all varieties.

Las
Vegas
is a
fast-paced, sexy drama that follows the elite
Las Vegas
surveillance team charged with maintaining the security of one of "
Sin
City
's" largest resorts and casinos. Big Ed Deline, former CIA, is the
head of the surveillance team for the Montecito Resort & Casino, as
well as the newly appointed President of Operations. His right-hand man is
Danny McCoy, an ex-U.S. Marine and
Las Vegas
native. They deal with card-counting cheaters, costly streaks of random
luck and rival casinos stealing their big-money players.
Also at the Montecito is Mary Connell, Danny's longtime childhood friend
and the new special events coordinator, Mike Cannon, the all-knowing head
valet, Nessa Holt a.k.a. "The Ice Queen," the sleek pit boss,
Delinda Deline, maitre d' for the high-class restaurant Mystique, and
Samantha Marquez, the elusive former competitor who is now casino hostess
to all the high rollers.
Danny's return to Vegas hasn't been easy on him, as both family and
friends criticize him for having left them for a military career. Mary
Connell is one of those friends. Danny's recent relationships with Delinda
and Sam have caused old feelings in Mary to resurface. She confesses to
him that if Danny hadn't gone off to the Marines, that maybe something
could have developed between them. Now, they just try to get through their
jobs and try to put "what could have been" behind them.

DR.
VEGAS
From his High Class office suite, Dr. Billy Grant attends to the
round-the-clock medical needs of guests, employees and their families amid
the lures of
Sin
City
. The doctor's always in when it comes to catering to the often frivolous
medical requests of his good friend and boss, Tommy Danko, the hotel's
general manager. Tommy's priority is the well-being of his high rollers
and the casino's bottomline, while Billy's committed to upholding the
Hippocratic Oath, often putting them at odds. The frenetic pace continues
on the casino floor where the action never stops. Vic Moore is Tommy's
first Lieutenant--part casino host, part gambling director and part
enforcer. Always on hand is beautiful blackjack dealer, Veronica Harold
who attends classes at UNLV during the day and works nights to help
support her father. Whether it's a celebrity headliner who takes a header
from the stage, an employee hurt on the job or a desperate guest whose
luck has run out at the tables, it's a safe bet that Dr. Grant will see
his share of unique medical cases. But, what happens in Vegas stays in
Vegas, and for Billy, it's all in a day's work on the Strip.

The Night Stalker
Wisecracking
Carl Kolchak is a rumpled news
hound plucked from the fast-talking newspaper flicks of the 1940s and
dropped into the even faster paced twenty first century. What makes the
eccentric Kolchak even more unique, however, is his nose for the
supernatural, a trait that leaves his editor
exasperated and the police less than amused. When he insists that a
late-night
Las Vegas
serial killer (who leaves his victims drained of blood and sporting twin
holes in the neck) is a modern-day vampire, he's practically run out of
town by the local authorities. Naturally, he stalks the vampire himself,
an unlikely Van Helsing armed with a silver cross, a wooden stake, and his
ever-present tape recorder and flashbulb camera. The X-Files
creator Chris Carter acknowledges the show as a major inspiration, and has
cast McGavin in a recurring role as a retired X-Files veteran with an
acerbic personality and a familiar rumpled wardrobe. Kolchak lives! --Sean

Lucky Michael “Lucky” Linkletter is
a compulsive gambler who happens to live in gambling central,
Las Vegas
. A year ago, he won the million-dollar prize at the Las Vegas
Professional Poker Player Championship. When asked what was next for
him, he said he was going to marry his girlfriend Sarah, and he predicted
he would lose the money. Fast forward to today, and both things have
happened. He married Sarah, but then she died (in a way that has yet
to be explained.) He gambled away the million he won, and he had to
borrow $8000 from Sarah’s parents, Bill and Carol, to pay for her
funeral. He currently works as a car salesman for Stan McWatt, but
his commissions aren’t making him enough. He tries other options
to get the money to pay Sarah’s parents back. The first one he
tries is borrowing it from a loan shark named Joey Leggs, but Joey wants
Lucky to gamble for him, and he doesn’t want to go back to that life.
The next thing he tries is to collect some money owed to him from The
Trake, named after the tracheotomy tube he has to breathe through.
He has no luck there, because The Trake passes out and goes into a
diabetic coma. His two close friends, Vinny Sticarelli
and Mutha Legendre, a couple of fellow compulsive gamblers that he
met in a support group, try to help him out, including Vinny jumping in
front of cars so that the people who hit him will pay him. That
helps a little, but a degenerate named Danny Martin robs him. He
decides to swallow his pride and risk letting gambling take over his life
again by taking Joey’s deal. Along the way, he meets fellow
compulsive gambler Theresa at one of the support group meetings. She
is a successful real estate broker, but has a bad gambling problem.
Lucky agrees to be her sponsor, even though he may be soon slipping
himself.
