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. ---
