This week's Thursday Movie Picks is TMP Television Edition - TV Spinoffs [Suggested by Wendell]
---
This week's theme is by Wendell. There are so many spinoffs to pick from, so this week wasn't hard at all. I'm picking the ones I like.
Frasier (1993 - 2004)
A spin-off of Cheers. Frasier is one of those TV shows that while I don't really follow it from season to season, it is a very easy show to slip into and I usually just watch it whenever I stumble upon it on TV. I can't believe it ended more than 10 years ago.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001 - 2011)
A spin-off of Law and Order. I used to like SVU, but it got really cheesy and bad over the years, so my pick is this one which was a lot more consistent and had better performances I'd say. The detectives Eames and Goren played by Kathryn Erbe & Vincent D'Onofrio had great chemistry and they're supposed to be like Holmes and Watson, Goren being the Holmes character using psychology to solve crimes.
Chicago Med (2015 - )
A spin-off of Chicago Fire. I've seen all of the Chicago series. This is the better spin-off. Like a lot of medical dramas, they're easy get back in even when I've missed the last couple of episodes.

I haven't watched any of your picks this week, though I have seen a bit of Fraizer.
ReplyDeleteNot the Law and order one? They get a lot of reruns.
DeleteI need to revisit Frasier. I didn't like it much back in the day even though I've always been a huge fan of Cheers.
ReplyDeleteCriminal Intent was okay, but my fave spin off from that franchise is SVU. Love that show.
I've seen a few episodes of Chicago Med. It's pretty good.
I've not really watched an episode of Cheers in full. Just bits and pieces.
DeleteChicago Med - I think so too...I like that they have nurses too.
I love Frasier..love it! I almost chose this one but I thought it might be popular today. I watched the original Law & Order but not the others and I did watch Chicago Hope but that’s it.
ReplyDeleteChicago Hope is not part of the Chicago Series.
DeleteI've seen a few episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent and I enjoyed them.
