Donald Bellisario Sues Over NCIS Spinoff

Donald Bellisario, who was involved with the NCIS franchise until a few years ago, has sued over the spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles, claiming that he had the right to be involved with the creation of the new show. More here from The Hollywood Reporter, which provides a link to the complaint here. (I’ll admit it–in terms of what goes on with the characters and plots of these shows, I’m completely lost. Is this franchise at all related to Law & Order, or CSI, or …). Just kidding.
