'Med' makes three: NBC adds 'Chicago Med' to the Windy City series family
The cast of "Chicago Med"
The TV spinoff isn't exactly a new concept -- "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" spun off of "I Love Lucy" way back in 1957. When producers find a formula that works, they tend to capitalize on it, and who can blame them? CBS has been wildly successful with several CSI and NCIS series in recent years.

Q: Can you please tell me what is the name of the song that played during the line dance scene in the Hallmark movie "Harvest Moon"? It's a country song that has the words, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."
You almost did my job for me there. The song you're looking for is "Thinkin' Too Much" by Sean Patrick McGraw.
Unfortunately, he hasn't released it in an album yet, so for now you'll have to settle with the memory, or watching the scene again when Hallmark replays "Harvest Moon."
I say "for now" because McGraw has licensed three other songs for television, which have also been released in albums.
