CBS's Underrated Franchise Puts TV's Best Procedurals To Shame

Although the network has spent decades building some of TV's most successful procedural franchises, CBS' best franchise in the current era is its most underrated, putting others in the genre to shame. With long-running franchises like NCIS bringing several shows to the network over the last two decades and others, like the more recent FBI franchise branching out into an interesting split of shows, CBS has long known how to make a single series into a fantastic franchise. Despite the fact that not every franchise spinoff has longevity attached, the network has certainly found the key to ensuring long-term success.
