CSI: NY

CSI: NY (working title CSI: New York) is an American police procedural television series which premiered on September 22, 2004. It was the second spinoff from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and was introduced during an episode of CSI: Miami when Horatio Caine journeyed to New York City in pursuit of a murder suspect who fled Miami. It is much bloodier than the Miami version, and is filmed in a hard blue light.

Like the other two CSI programs, the theme song is by The Who; this time the song is "Baba O'Reilly".
