There has been a new trend in Hollywood recently; bringing shows from the small screen to the big silver one.

Some previous candidates:

• Charlies Angels
• The Beverly Hillbillies
• Starsky and Hutch
• Fat Albert
• The X-Files

Some upcoming candidates:

• The Dukes of Hazzard
• The Honeymooners
• The Land of the Lost
• Bewitched
• Knightrider

This brings me to the one I just heard about: CSI.

Nope, I’m not kidding. You can add CSI: The Movie to the ever growing list of CSI related things with colons in them.

Here’s a recap, in case you haven’t been following along at home:

• CSI: The Coffee Mug
• CSI: The Video Game
• CSI: The Board Game
• CSI: The Soundtrack
• CSI: The T-Shirt
• CSI: The Shot Glass
• CSI: The Umbrella
• CSI: The Dirty Evidence Laundry Bag
• CSI: The Thermos
• CSI: The Keychain
• CSI: The Comic Book
• CSI: The Mouse Pad
• CSI: The Jigsaw Puzzle
• CSI: The Gym Bag

This is where I got tired of copying and pasting and searching for merchandise. The CBS site alone has tons and tons of this crap, not to mention all the merch available for the spinoff shows such as CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, CSI: Lancaster (Amish Country) and the upcoming CSI: Acadamy (think a mashup between Saved By the Bell and CSI) OK, so I made up CSI: Lancaster, but I bet that would be alot more watchable than any of the existing CSIs.
