CBS to Launch Third Incarnation of 'CSI'
Fri Jan 16, 8:42 PM ET

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, 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.

NBC is owned by General Electric Co.

NO MORE LOCATIONS. Seriously, I don't even like the CSI: Miami. Don't get me wrong, I love the original, but I'm so sick of the spinoffs. Stop while they're ahead

Same here. Though that could be because of my severe distaste for all things David Caruso.

I'm not a fan of David Caruso either, but even watching the parts without him are torture.

Maybe it'll be better in New York than Miami because David Caruso is not there. And maybe they'll create some stronger characters.
