Well I guess you can do a spin off the sensible way (already introduced and developed characters getting their own show) or CBS's way. (CSI spin offs, NCIS LA, now CM).
I'll admit though, from what I read and heard, it sounds so... far removed from CM that it's almost like people talking about any other show that's being developed. Except, this is getting a start IN an ep of CM. Which I guess would be FINE because if they don't want to mess with CM's original characters, I can just happily go on ignoring this new show-in-development and simply not watch while sticking to CM happily ever after.
But who knows, I'll reserve judgment til I see their ep. But one thing is sure, I'm usually not fond of a bunch of characters being introduced and all of their personality traits being right in your face, when you KNOW writers just want you to like them and pay attention to them badly.
Anyway, with this I already gave this spin off more thought than I think it will be worth. I'll see how it works out or if I'll be eating my words or not.
