I gave up on it around season 4. The problem with franchises is that they get repetitive. I gave up on NCIS a long time ago as well. Probably the only franchises that I continue to watch are Doctor Who and Star Trek on TV/Streaming. Otherwise, horror franchises tend to keep things going for cinema. Check out the Conjuring.

I felt like at the beginning they wrote very interesting mysteries, then they got away from focusing on good mysteries and focused more on bland mysteries on theme for the character drama. And also got progressively less and less plausible.
For me, it's the "Rookie" franchise, followed by 9-1-1. That said, I find 9-1-1 Lonestar almost unwatchable.
Now, with the OG 9-1-1 moving to ABC next season (whenever the writers go back to work), there's a chance the franchise will all be under one umbrella. The shows already share fire trucks, so why not?

I'm definitely stoked by the upcoming Law & Order: Toronto. 
As for FBI: Have there been any other bits linking it to the Chicago/L&O universe, other than that one appearance by Hailey Upton?

Wheatley is still alive and Dylan McDermott had to arrest himself on FBI: Most Wanted.

Maybe they can have a crossover with William Murduch's actor playing an an ancestor

I see what you did there.
As for NCIS, I'm still pissed that NCIS: Sydney will only be viewable in Australia! Shit, I was looking forward to that show.

There are always "alternative" methods to watching everything.
I'd prefer not to break the law, thanks.

Well, they had already done one with another CBC show, Republic of Doyle. Allan Hawco appeared on Murdoch Mysteries playing an ancestor to his character on Republic of Dolye. In turn, Yannick Bisson went over to Republic of Doyle and played Murdoch's Descendent. The fun thing they did with Murdoch Mysteries was they took the cast to Newfoundland where Republic of Doyle is set, with George visiting his family.
Now the fun thing about Murdoch Mysteries is that it previously was on Citytv, which commissioned L&O: Toronto. So, there's a chance he could be asked to make a cameo even if just ends up playing a similar character.
