Coming from my slight hijack in the CSI: Hogwarts thread, I thought it would be fun to come up with some location or idea for even more CSI spinoffs. Of course, every spinoff needs a theme song using 30 seconds from a Who song. Points for every idea/appropriate song, bonus points for every wrong but still somehow appropriate song. For example:
CSI: High School. All the perps are high school students, all the victims are high school students. Preferably a lot of the crimes would occur in a high school. Theme song: Baba O’Riley. Inappropriate theme songs: My Generation, The Kids Are Alright, and Summertime Blues.
Seeing as how there is only a limited pool of Who songs, overlaps are okay.
Show:CSI Cold Case
Theme: Well, just like Cold Case. Old unsolved crimes are the main subject
Who song: Emminence Front (people forget, come and join the party dressed to kill)
Show: CSI Long Distance
Theme: Forensic analysts try to solve crimes committed via computer network from different parts of the world
Who song: I can see for miles (I know you deceive me now here’s a surprise)
Show:CSI Domestic Violence
Theme: domestic violence
