I think I saw a few episodes of that quite a while back, the name rings
a bell, but it didn't stay available for long.

This is the year for unexpected spin-offs though..

I mentioned they shut down Blue Bloods, a cop show that takes place
in New York, but they moved 2 of the characters to Boston in a new
show called Boston Blue.

Another new show here is called Sheriff Country, a modern day police
show set in a small town, but it didn't take long to realize that
it is a spin-off of Fire Country, a show about fire fighters doing
mostly forest fire work with a number of the men being convicts
working off the last of their sentences that's been on for 4 years..
Supposedly set in a fictional town (Edgewater) in Northern California,
but is mostly filmed in Vancouver Canada.
