The planned new spinoff of the CBS series “FBI” will focus on CIA agents and is currently titled “FBI: CIA”. 😂 Not even The Simpsons at its peak could have come up with something this nonsensical.

The next spin-off will be about the ATF working with NSA agents who are working with the CIA & FBI and will be called (FBI: CIA × ATF)^NSA. (For extra credit, solve for A.)
This is shooting on my street right now!
For international flavor, other spinoffs will include FBI:MI6, FBI:Mossad, and FBI:Interpol

They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days. Have you seen the ads for the new show “Watson”? It’s about doctors who are also somehow detectives (or is it the other way around?).
You can picture the 30-second brainstorming session for that one.
Soon all we’ll be left with are doctor shows, detective shows, and doctor-detective shows.
Somebody call Rob Harvilla and his sequel to the "60 Songs That Explain the 90s" podcast, "60 Songs That Explain the 90s: The 2000s."
Glad to see the former Dell product-naming guy found work so fast.
Who even watches this stuff?
I’m all for free speech and all, but I don’t hate the idea of a moratorium on new doctor shows or crime procedurals.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
