LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell star in “NCIS: Los Angeles” (previously made fun of here), a show that The Hollywood Reporter is sadly calling CBS’s “best hope for a new hit this fall. Videogum also had a line about this crowning turd that I enjoyed:

NCIS: Los Angeles [is] a spin-off series from NCIS, whatever that is. It’s basically the golden rule of television: anything that can be done well, can also be done in another city on Tuesday nights at 9/8 Central.

Anyway, in the scene above, LL Cool J argues with Edna Mode about expense reports, and then there’s something wrong with Chris O’Donnell’s clothes? I’m not really  sure. It’s 90 seconds of liquid Ambien injected straight into your eyeballs. Translation: it’s going to be a huge hit. I hate you, CBS.

CBS, obviously in need of creating more crime-related procedural dramas, has tapped LL Cool J to star in an “NCIS” spin-off, tentatively titled “Crappy Premise.”

LL Cool J has signed on for the planned spin-off of “NCIS.” The rapper will play a former Navy Seal who works in the undercover unit of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Los Angeles. The spin-off will air later this season as a two-part episode of “NCIS.”

This may be the most ridiculous and far-fetched television idea since “LOST” suspended the laws of physics indefinitely.  The real CIS (it’s just “CIS” in the military) is way too busy busting petty officers for small-scale drug rings to devote time and money to an undercover unit in Los Angeles, where — by the way — there is no established military presence whatsoever.  You see, far-fetched though it may be, “Naval” investigative units are actually devoted to solving military crimes.

But good work, CBS.  I look forward to “Hawaiian Five-O: Mexico.”
