Welcome to the nut house, Deathwish2120. We once had a thread here about where would you like to see a new spinoff. I had posted something like we have seven days of the week so that there could be seven CSI shows. William Petersen, besides playing Gil Grissom, is an executive producer of the original show. He has stated in the past about how he was against spinoffs, since it takes away from the original. At one time, I think they were considering making a European version. The main problem is that all three of the current series are filmed in the Los Angeles area, except for occasional flyovers or exterior shots filmed in the cities they take place in. It might be hard to find a back lot of a studio or somewhere in L.A. to stand in for Chicago, New Orleans, Washington DC, London, or someplace else. Plus, with the financial problems of the networks these days, they are looking for cheaper alternatives for programming, like reality garbage. That way, they don't have to pay for big money for the stars or special effects.
