Captain
CSI creator <font color=yellow>Anthony Zuiker</font> recently inked a new pact with CBS's Paramount Network Unit.

The eight-figure deal will tie Zuiker to CBS for three more years and will give the young writer the opportunity to create and develop new shows for the network. He will also continue as executive producer of the CSI trio, as well as showrunner of CSI: New York.

Zuiker thanked colleagues <font color=yellow>Carol Mendelsohn</font> (CSI showrunner), <font color=yellow>Ann Donahue</font> (Miami showrunner) and <font color=yellow>Pam Veasey</font> (New York writer) for helping him achieve success. "They are with me when things are good and behind me when things get tough," he said. "Those are the people I want to kill for... so to speak."

Though Zuiker is expected to create new shows for CBS, network president <font color=yellow>Les Moonves</font> said a third CSI spin-off is not in their plans. "I don't think we should push the envelope [with a fourth CSI]."

I'm glad Zuiker isn't going to create any more CSI spinoff's like Dick Wolf did with the Law and Order series. It would just be too much, and the audience would grow tired of the diluted genre. The original CSI, along with the Miami and New York versions, are quite enough.
 
Well, I wouldn't mind another spin-off, but I would prefer if it was in another country,. It would be more interesting. :D
 
I don't want another spin-off, I think CSI the original suffered for a bit after some of the writers like Ann Donahue left the show.
 
^^^ I agree I wouldn't want to see another spin off in the near future - well not just yet, I quite like it how it is with the 3. :)
