In a TV program it is important to have a limited number of "major" roles. In a real crime investigation there may be dozens of people working the case and then not work together for many cases.

So they combine stuff and make the stars the .. uh.. well.. stars of the investigation.

I would imagine that actual CSI operations are rather boring with a cubic buttload of paperwork but that does not make for exciting TV.

I think that any one actually working in an industry portrayed on TV/movies is shaking their heads ruefully. I know in my job if I could do what they do on TV/movies, my job would be a snap.
