Jane觉得这片子没意思。不过，Will说，如果这片子不吸引人，就不会有那么多spinoffs - 仿照它所拍的同类型电视剧了。

　　Professor: Exactly. You know, you can call other things spinoffs too. For example, "The new Italian restaurant was so popular that there were soon three other spinoffs, all exactly the same, on the same block. "

　　对了，Jane还用到了cookie cutter这个词，cookie cutter就是做饼干时切面的模子。Professor, 在这里，cookie cutter 是不是指“千篇一律的东西”呢？

　　Professor: Yes! For example, I could say that I never believe my students when they give me cookie-cutter excuses for why they didn't do their homework, like saying that their dog ate it.

　　Jane: Well what are some of the other crime dramas you like?

　　Will: Do you know the show Crime Scene Investigation? We usually call it CSI. It's about a team of police investigators solving crimes in Las Vegas.

　　Jane: Sure, I've heard of CSI. What other shows do you like?

　　Will: There are lots of other great crime dramas. There is also CSI New York and CSI Miami.

　　Jane: Will ... can't you see that those are all the same show! They just happen in different cities!

　　Will: No way! They're all totally different. And besides, they all get really good ratings and rave reviews.
