At least for the shows that I watch. My god, 3 of my shows introduced spin-offs this season! And I watched them a bit differently than usually. Because in a somewhat recent interview Andrew Scott said that he had had the chance to be on an new American show. He wouldn't say what the show was, but I as far as I remember it was expected to be successful, so I suspect it to be a spin-off of a successful show. And maybe even of a show that I watch. CSI, NCIS and Supernatural are all successful shows and I can imagine the offshoots of the former 2 also being successful. I didn't like any of the new shows, so I'm not sure why I'm taking Supernatural's spin-off not as seriously as the others' (Maybe because of CW's reputation?). I was a bit sad (only a bit, because I agree with his reason for not taking the role) that there had been the possibility of getting a regular Andrew Scott fix and that he deprived me of it, but now that I've seen the backdoor pilots (Supernatural's felt more like frontdoor) I'm not anymore.
