S1 E1: Anthony E. Zuiker says, 'The American dream is real. An only child from Las Vegas who drove a tram at The Mirage Hotel for 8 dollars an hour can write one script and change television forever. I was 29 years old. We aired on October 6, 2000 to over 21 million viewers on a Friday night and I never looked back. This show started it all.'
