"Come For The Wedding, Stay For The Funeral", 27 April 2007
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

In startling opening, we see a bride and groom happily waving as they leave in a convertible following the wedding. Dragging behind them are not tin cans, but a dead person. Next, we see Gregg, Sara and Nick discussing how long the crime scene took with Nick saying the sentence I used here as the subject head.

This episode was really horrible, one of the worst I've ever seen in the six years of watching this show. It tried to be funny and smart-ass, and wound up only being stupid with ludicrous dialog and a nasty, profane edge to the thing, with more smugness than a Chevy Chase film festival. I guess was part of CSI's attempt at black humor.

Everyone in here, even most of the CSI workers, had "attitudes" and one wonders what kind of audience this show is after. This episode is a good example of why I now prefer the New York and Miami spin-offs to this show, which was terrific the first few years but has "pushed the envelop" too much for its own good. The episode was just way too sleazy. It included guest star Veroncia Cartwright. Well, at least she fit in with the rest of these dirt-bags.
