[Revolver]

What is it with executives of tv shows? I mean honestly. The original is the best. & although Im not a follower of most of these shows that have spin-offs, I know the best is really the original.

NCIS - Spun off: NCIS LA,
CSI - Spun off: CSI Miami, & CSI New York.
Law & order - Spun off: Law & order SVU, L&O Criminal Intent, latest: L&O UK (!!!!!???What & Why TF??)
Stargate SG1 - Spun off SG Atlantis, SG Universe
Plus the 999 different series of Startrek, or is it 1000 now??
Top Gear: Spun off: TGA, Now TGUS.

Any others?

Underbelly can/cant be included, the first paved the way for 'tale of 2 cities' & 'golden mile' plus the (confirmed) two more (maybe 3?). They are prologues of the original.

Honestly do studio execs obviously think, just because people love the orginal/base series, that we will love the next one they decide to pimp out? HELLO!!!! There is a REASON as to why we love the first. It has a chemistry that is appealing, & DOESNT mean we will always like the second, third or fourth.

They just dont get it. They are virutally the same show as the original, same basic storyline/substance, different character styles. Sure these shows have a following of their own, usually by the people who liked the idea of the original, but just couldnt 'connect' with them. The original show usually has the strongest following.

Like my uncle has always said about telling jokes: "The first time is entertaining, second time is tolerable, third is bloody annoying". Every time I hear of a spin off series coming off an existing show I just get bloody annoyed - I stare open mouthed and hands in the 'i dont understand pose', laugh, flollowed by "why you idiots, what too many people congested the first show? its not a motorway you know'.
