Which do you prefer for each show - 1 or 2 cases per episode? It seems like there is usually 1 'A' storyline and 1 'B' storyline that is somewhat less interesting. I think some of the best episodes only focus on 1 main case with everybody involved.

Do you think they should focus on 1 case for the entire episode with all the CSI team members together on it?

I rather enjoy the fact that they usually show two cases, as long as both are presented clearly. I think it's fun to see two separate mysteries on one episode. Also, it would seem unlikely that the lab could spare all of the senior people on a single assignment unless it were of overwhelming importance.

I think the episodes with 1 case are better because the cases seem to be more thrilling and exciting but i also like the episodes with 2 cases usually because they are usually pretty interesting and fun to watch.

I can't recall seeing an episode with only one case. The two-case episodes I have seen are really good and in those episodes, both cases have been presented very well.

Actually I just got done watching the season 2 episode Chaos Theory and that dealt with only 1 case.

What a great episode that was! They couldn't solve the crime, because there was no crime - just an improbable sequence of events. Great writing!
