Turn On, Tune In, Drop Dead is the sixteenth episode of the eleventh season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Synopsis

When two people who were thought to be dead come back to life, the evidence leads CSI back to a discredited ex-professor who conducted bizarre death-related experiments in the 1970s.

Trivia

  • The title is derived from the saying "Turn on, turn in, drop out", popularized by Timothy Leary, known for experimenting with LSD and other psychedelic drugs.
  • At one point Dr. Aden exclaims that the treatment of his work is like "Philo Farnsworth all over again". Philo Fransworth was an eccentric inventor who had to spend many years in court battling with the RCA corporation to finally receive the credit for inventing television

Goofs

  • David is about to perform an autopsy. He's been touching the body, clothes, and personal effects, when he gets a call, transferring germs to the phone, leaving himself and other liable to pick up the germs.
