  1. Echoes of David Callan, played by Edward Woodward, the British secret agent and conflicted killer from the 1960s. I’m sure this “Callen” won’t be anywhere near as interesting.

  2. NCIS: Army Investigations Unit
    NCIS: Miami
    NCIS: Criminal Intent
    NCIS: SVU

    CBS loves its crime shows. There was also talk of a Criminal Minds spinoff earlier

  3. Enough with the spin-offs! I liked JAG and love NCIS but come on, well at least they don’t have a dozen different varieties going at once like CSI or L&O 😆
