Well for one each show of the franchise is different especially NCIS: Los Angeles they deal with more national & global threats.

One reason it sustains is each show has solid writing, acting and directing.

Not sure if your being serious not knowing that NCIS & CSI is two totally different franchises!

I don't watch a lot of television. I only know they exist from the commercial during football season. They all look like the same show to me.

CSI was the first probably (Grisham is still one of the better characters in tv history probably), then it was NCIS I believe, then Criminal Minds.

All three are virtually the same, just with slight tweaks.

Virtually the same only in that they're all crime drama's. Criminals Minds is by far the darkest and creepiest of all 3 series. There are distinct differences between CSI and NCIS.

All have groups or teams that solve problems with a different form of science or psycology in both the public, private, and military sectors. Each has a brilliant/quirky guy, token minorities, smart computer person, one really attractive guy/girl, and similar problems to solve, albeit in different ways.

Distinct differences? eh. The premise of them all is a group of people (or as tropes will call them, a 5 man band, normally) solve crimes or try to stop them.

There is no token minority on NCIS or CSI and you just described every crime drama ever aired. On that note I wouldn't dedicate a single minute to watching any episode of Law And Order over any of the 3 shows we're talking about.

De Pablo and Rocky Carroll for NCIS (hispanic and black)

Gary Dourdan for CSI

But on that note I'll end the discussion since apparently (even when the show isn't airing) every other thread can be derailed about something similar, but this one cannot. :hi:

De Pablo left NCIS last year, I don't really count Rocky Carroll because he's hardly on the show. They killed Gary Dourdan off CSI in like 2008.

Lol!

If you guys haven't watched Survivors (BBC), I highly recommend it. It's Walking Dead without the zombies. It's awesome.

Never saw The Stand, nor read it. In Walking Dead, the biggest problem for the survivors is other survivors (not zombies) and that's why I make the comparison.

Did you ever watch Jericho? I always heard how good it was, just started it on Netflix

Jericho suffered from what a lot of promising series go through: Strong start, good story, engaging characters and development, then falls off a cliff in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. Story arcs become repetitive and boring; action and drama feel "forced", and the whole thing falls apart.

Under The Dome is a good present day comparison to Jericho.

Was there 3 seasons? Netflix only shows 2 and one was 8 episodes. I'm 3 episodes in and its pretty good so far.

I like UTD, some of the actors are painfully bad though...Joe

I don't recall, but it didn't last long and they constantly tease the main plot point but give nothing away; similar to Lost.
