CBS 'Fooled' by Who Tune for 'CSI' Spinoff

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - The superstitious folks at CBS
aren't taking any chances with the much-anticipated
"CSI" spinoff "CSI: Miami." 

When the crime drama bows Monday night, viewers will
hear a familiar band performing the theme song: the
Who. 

The original Thursday smash features the group's
classic 1978 tune "Who Are You." On Friday, lawyers
for network and producer Alliance Atlantis finally
sealed a deal for the rights to another Who track, the
somehow appropriate "Won't Get Fooled Again" from
1971. Both songs were written by Who guitarist Pete
Townshend. 

CBS executives are taking a page out of the Dick Wolf
playbook with their song selection. Wolf uses a
slightly different version of composer Mike Post's
original "Law & Order" theme on NBC spinoff shows
"Special Victims Unit" and "Criminal Intent."
