Seven Famous Organization Acronyms From Television Featuring Ctu, Ncis, Csi and More
This is a fun trivia list to the famous (mostly) real life organizations/services that are featured in tv shows. It includes CIA, FBI, CTU and more, along with the television show the organization is featured in.
We knew some of these, and we found about these later watching Hollywood movies and TV shows. Here’s a list of abbreviations we get to hear a lot in the TV shows.

- NYPD- New York Police Department
We hear this one often. But ABC’s popular show Castle made a fun use of it in one of its earliest episodes. He tags along to the crime scenes with the police. Detective Beckett introduces herself as NYPD. Castle says: Rick Castle. Just NY.

Why Every Writer Should Watch ABC’s Castle
Yep, the formula is to combine the state abbreviation with the special department
- CTU – Counter Terrorist Unit

- CBI- California Bureau of Investigation
OK, unless you are from California or watching the TV show The Mentalist starring Simon Baker, there is a chance you haven’t heard of that one. When one of the guys under arrest asks what the hell CBI is, one of the characters- Cho – says: It is like the FBI, only more conveniently located. Cheers to that.

24 was one of my favorite shows. I hope they make a movie.
I think they will. It is featured on Kiefer Sutherland’s imdb profile. I want to see that too.
An interesting post. I enjoy both Castle and The Mentalist. I remember Castle say just NY.
Christine
My husband and I are big 24 fans and we are looking forward to the movie.
@Christine: Thanks. I am definitely addicted to both shows.
@ PR Mace: I was a big 24 addict for the first 3 seasons. After that the concept did lose credibility but all seasons are fine if you treat them separately. I want to see the movie as well!
I hoping to see the rest of the new V series. I did enjoy the 80’s version a lot till the later seasons. Alias was a great run.

Nathan and Jennifer, it actually can be done even easier. As long as every team member is touching the fingers of the other team members, it is really easy. Most team members spread themselves out so that there is space between everyone. If they do, it’s almost impossible. Think about a loaf of sliced bread. If every team member holds their hand next to other team members in “slices”, you’ll create a “loaf” of hands all connected. As soon as one person starts to move, the whole group will feel it and move at the exact same time. If someone is late, the other hands will move for them.
