Criminal Minds Spinoff?
by Him on Oct.01, 2009, under Criminal Minds
When Dick Wolf decided the world needed more than one Law and Order, I was fairly skeptical that a spin off that closely related to another cop show would work. I was still a skeptic when the folks at CSI decided to branch out with CSI:Miami and CSI: NY. For the most part with these series I’ve found myself pleasantly surprised. The producers took the formula, and in some cases key characters, and created a distinctly different world for these spinoffs to play in.
We watch Law and Order SVU and this season all 3 of the CSI shows, although I think my wife is more committed to viewing SVU and CSI: Miami than I am. Plus, this season we’ve decided to start watching the original Law and Order and CSI after not viewing them for a few years. I can’t speak for my wife, but I’m not fully convinced I want to commit to these shows, although I’m not ready to give up on them and go upstairs and play on the computer. ..yet.
So I think a Criminal Minds spinoff has a lot of potential. Especially if you can get a marquee actor involved like Joe Mantegna. I’m looking forward to seeing it.
