    CSI:New York

    woohooooo......

    i love CSI: Miami and the New York setting would be great

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - CBS is planning another spin-off of U.S. television's most watched show, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," with a third edition of the forensic drama set in the Big Apple, a network spokesman said on Friday.

    "CSI: New York" is slated to premiere on the Viacom Inc.-owned network this coming fall. A formal announcement is to be made Saturday by CBS President Leslie Moonves at the network's annual winter showcase for television critics.

    Like the original show, the new "CSI" is being created by Anthony Zuicker, who will assume day-to-day supervision of the drama. The series will be jointly produced by CBS Prods., Toronto-based Alliance Atlantis Communications Corp. and the production company of Hollywood mogul Jerry Bruckheimer.

    A third edition of "CSI" has been anticipated since the first spin-off, "CSI: Miami," starring David Caruso (news), debuted to stellar ratings in 2002, with considerable speculation about where the next show would be based.

    The first "CSI" series, which premiered in the fall of 2000, is set in Las Vegas, and like its "Miami" companion follows the work of police crime scene investigators who use high-tech forensics to crack tough cases. It was not immediately clear how closely the show's third incarnation would follow the original formula.

    "CSI" and "CSI: Miami" currently rank as No. 1 and No. 5 in household ratings, respectively, among all prime-time shows on U.S. television. The original series averages 26 million viewers per week.

    In another sign that crime does pay on prime time, especially when it is part of a hit TV brand, NBC reportedly has a fourth incarnation of its popular "Law & Order" franchise in the works.

    If that proves true, "CSI" and "Law & Order" together would account for a total of seven hours of first-run programming every week in prime time

    I very much agree that the original CSI is great and much better than the spin off Miami. But I still think Miami is a fun show.

    New York may give it a chance to become gritier and darker, but it will still be the same dog different smell.

    Hmm... I was just thinking:

    CSI 1:Vegas
    CSI 2:Miami
    CSI 3:NYC

    and if you look at the past couple GTA games and the new one coming in the fall...

    GTA3: NYC
    Vice City: Miami
    GTA4: Vegas.

    interesting, don't you think?

    Interesting, both have decapitated bodies too.

    OMG! OMG! OMG! (I'm very excited)

    I like Las Vegas better than Miami (mostly because of the much better cast) but NYC would be AWESOME

    However it will get serious competition from the Law and Order series both Special Victim's Unit and Criminal Intent, which are both very popular and Criminal Intent works very much like the original CSI with the strong, weird, super-smart lead detective, and very interesting stories

    Never a huge CSI fan actually. I've seen a couple episodes, but never been that interested.

    My buddy is nuts about it though, has his tivo season pass recoring both the other csi's and I'm sure this one will make the list too.

    I always hate how the songs are used for themes for TV shows and half the people (or more like 90%) don't even know who sings/composes it

    For example I recently noticed that the theme for "Threat Matrix" was co-composed by Hans Zimmer, my favorite composer

    No, why would you say that

    Partly, I love the show and New York is such a screwed up city I bet the creativity of murder scenes will just get better

    It all depends on the cast tho, I simply don't think that the CSI LAs Vegas cast can be assembled again, that cast is perfect, Miami isn't anywhere near as good
