a spin-off of CSI?

yep, the unlimited zoom is a favorite scifi cliche ever since Blade 
Runner... :)

of course, what they don't tell you is that all their video recordings 
are in 1 gigapixels density... :)

Unrelated, AFAIK. Actually it's a spin-off of JAG.

(Like JAG, it's fairly comical, whereas CSI is dark and gritty.)

Blade Runner was just *absurd*! The other day, I was thinking about

Actually, NCIS operates out of the Washington Navy Yard, which - as the 
name somewhat suggests - is located in Washington DC.

What was that sound?  Oh, yes, the sound of the joke flying past and 
hitting the ceiling.

"Navel" is not the same as "Naval".  ;)
