NCIS

In a Nov. 9 story about the CBS drama series "NCIS," The Associated Press, relying on information from CBS, reported erroneously that Thomas A. Betro, former director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, was the first government official to appear on the series. NCIS says at least one other government official preceded Betro, who appeared in the series in October 2007.

(S07E07) People who don't watch NCIS usually think the show is all about the military, all about forensics, all about criminal procedures, etc. Well, an episode like this is a perfect example of how character-driven the show actually is. Leon Vance has not been as interesting as the director of NCIS as Jenny Shepherd was, but the look into his back-story we saw with this episode may be a game changer. For one thing, he has some wife. But as...  

Last week we got a Gibbs-centric episode on "NCIS," and as we've already had a lot of Tony and Ziva this season, tonight either had to revolve around McGee, Abby, or Vance. Vance won, but McGee met a woman. Our dead guy this week was one Dr. Elan Cirreux. As soon as Vance heard what had taken place over the radio, he hightailed it to the scene of the crime. He knew who had done it, but he also knew a lot more that he wasn't telling. I hate it...

The fact that NCIS is currently the highest rated series today apparently doesn't escape even the powers-that-be. TV Guide reports that Ray Mabus, the US Secretary of the Navy is appearing on NCIS, although he's not playing the Secretary of the Navy, but an NCIS agent. Apparently, Sec. Mabus is a big fan of the CBS procedural, and, judging from the ratings, he's one of a multitude.The Navy officer is set to appear on the show's Thanksgiving...  

Both Mark Harmon and Rocky Carroll, who play Gibbs and Vance respectively on NCIS, agree that the success of the CBS procedural is due in large part to it being not your typical procedural."You've got to have a thick skin to work here. This is a group who likes to have fun," says Harmon, while Carroll credits the fact that the NCIS characters are three-dimensional, including their quirks and idiosyncrasies.  

My wife and I are great fans of NCIS and we’re rather disappointed by its spin-off, NCIS: Los Angeles. We find it bland and uninteresting. It needs better writing, better direction, and better acting. Consider the casts of the two series: NCIS (at series premier) Performer Age Mark Harmon 52 Michael Weatherley 35 Sasha Alexander 30 Pauley Perrette 34 David McCallum 70 Median age 35 Average age 44    NCIS: Los...  

If last week's episode was all about Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and his legendary mentor, tonight on NCIS, it's all about Vance (Rocky Carroll). So for those who like him, it's your lucky week. For those who don't like him (and there are a lot, judging from the comments), maybe this can change your mind?On "Endgame" Vance's family is once again put into danger when an assassin from his past returns to threaten their safety, and the team works on...

NCIS fans may already know too much about Ziva's (Cote de Pablo) daddy and last season we were introduced to Jackson Gibbs, father of, well, Gibbs (Mark Harmon). What about the other people? Entertainment Weekly reports that this season, we will get to know the father of another NCIS agent - Tony's (Michael Weatherly).Tony's dad is set to grace NCIS for the procedural's upcoming 150th episode, airing sometime in January.
