Zuiker readies yet another ‘CSI’ spinoff

Anthony Zuiker is going back to the well one more time.

The graduate of Chaparral High School and UNLV will use an upcoming episode of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” to launch the long-running drama’s third spinoff.

According to various industry publications, the drama is inspired by Irish CyberPsychologist Mary Aiken and will be set in the FBI’s Cyber Crime Division in Quantico, Va.

Zuiker, the world’s most celebrated former Mirage tram driver, previously used the Vegas-based drama to spin off “CSI: Miami,” which ran for 10 seasons, and “CSI: NY,” which lasted nine.

The cyber crimes episode is scheduled to air this spring.

Here’s hoping Zuiker uses that hour to have his characters track down those jackholes who made me get a new credit card simply for having shopped at Target.
