Trivia

Peri Gilpin and Ted Danson portray married couple DB and Barbara Russell. This is of interest because Peri Gilpin portrayed "Roz" on "Frasier," who met and was very attracted to Ted Danson's "Sam Malone" from "Cheers" when he guest-starred on Frasier. Gilpin had in fact guest-starred on "Cheers" before, though as a different character.

User Reviews

A knock out episode...

Very surprised no one has reviewed this wonderful episode yet. In my opinion CSI is hitting on all cylinders. Ted Danson and Elizabeth Shue have brought this show back to life. Not to slight any of the others in the cast, who are all wonderful. This was the best episode I have seen in a long time. I really love the way all of the staff are relating to each other. The fact that everyone now is referring to "family meetings", and how the episode explored the family life of DB, bring in not only his wife wonderfully played by Peri Gilpen, but his daughter and grand-daughter. With the show letting us invest our emotions on various members of the cast, it led to a knock-out of a conclusion. It also resumed a supposedly long-forgotten story arc that could affect the entire series henceforth. I know I am being rather vague, but if you haven't seen this episode. Please watch immediately. It is a stunner.
