NCIS Fans?
 

i love TV, but usually not procedurals. i do like Bones, but rarely shows like NCIS. i don't care for any of the other forensic science shows. Very few police shows do it for me -- i like the Wire, but that's different. Oh i also like In Plain Sight because the main character is such a quirky strong woman.

ANYWAY, a friend told me to give NCIS a try. i was like, yeah, whatever. So i waited a year and then finally did check it out.

And while it's not innovative tv, i love it. The sexual harrassment banter of the first couple of years -- when Sasha Alexander was on -- annoyed. But otherwise, i have really enjoyed watching it on DVD.

Anyway, it's apprently a top rated show and has been. And it will soon start its 9th season, so i am clearly not the only one. i thought it was like JAG, but it's much better.

This show has wit. The characters may not be deep, but the cases are often truly surprising. And i like the fact that the characters are likable and like each other -- like Bones. It's not as good as Bones. Not saying it is, but it has its own charms.

Any NCIS fans out there? What do you like about the show? Which Director did you like best? What Tony moments annoy or amuse you? Who is your favorite character? All that stuff.

I love NCIS!!! The Director really doesnt matter to me, its Gibbs that makes the show hands down. Tony can be both entertaining and annoying, I guess it just depends on what Im in myself. lol As for my favorite character that is so hard!!! Abby is amazingly smart, funny and I adore some of her shoes. Ziva, however well she is just bad assed and strong.So I guess I will go with Gibbs first, Ziva second Abby third.

I agree!! I was like that with my Sgt. on the force. He knew me better than my own father.

I also love the show, for the same reasons listed above. I can't wait for the new season to start up again too.

Hmmm... Gibbs first, Ziva and Abby tied for second, and I actually like McGee's character! Denoza is just fun to watch as well.

So what does everyone think of the spin-off, NCIS Los Angeles? I like the characters on that one too. (not as much as the original, but a great way to spend a Tuesday night!)

I am not much for spin-offs they are just never the same. I tried to watch it a couple times and just couldnt get into it. I also tried to watch the new Criminal Minds......that really fell flat for me.

i haven't seen the spin-off. i am hoping it's good.

i agree -- McGee is great. i like the way that from the first, they didn't make him the bumbling nerd. He gets girls, and Gibbs clearly has a lot of respect for him as an agent. i like that they all are good at their jobs. They like and respect one another.

Even Ducky evolved from someone whose stories they'd dodge to the beloved elder in their midst.

i like the way that they long for Gibbs' approval and don't pretend otherwise.

i also like the fact that while there is some Marine hoo hawing, in general they don't overwhelm you with testosterone. The change from Kate to Ziva was good for the show although i like the actress who played Kate. The sort of shock the good girl banter between Kate and Dinozo was getting old.

You can catch "Kate" in a new show called Rizolli and Isles. She plays a medical examiner and its a very good show.

SWOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes she is Im in love with her sigh LOL

NCIS Co-Star Turns Babe
 

"NCIS Co-Star Turns Babe" Pauley Perette stars , Tuesdays on CBS.

Abby is on the cover of the Sunday tv guide in the LA Times, the TV Weekly Life. She is beautiful..Picture of her in a glamorous dress, and pearl choker..Gorgeous. Must watch


Abbbby. Her pigtails, her clothes, and goth fun look in a brilliant beautiful mind. She is the one that brings miles of smiles. Her one line zingers, and when she is asked ---Ab, what do you have for me?, and she goooooesss way over here---->with her brilliant findings--- and he says AB, do you have it? and she does that cute, well all right.

E for effort?
 

I really tried to get into this show, but I couldn't - and I really love forensic-based shows. I prefer Criminal Minds, CSI, etc.

Zeva and Abby yummm yummmm ! lol,,I love this show !!

Since I got my best friend hooked she has been Gibbs-slapping me.
I AM IN LOVE WITH ABBY! I used to watch only to see her, then I realized I actually enjoy the show.

Personally, I like the spin off...everything about it :)

I love NCIS and I love Gibbs honesty and way he read's people.
Abby is so cute, smart and different. I love different.

Oh yes the Gibbs-smack is one of my favorites I use it on my team lol and I love it!!!

I think the characters are very interesting, that they are all vastly different, yet they are all part of an efficient team and they work well together.

The acting is great, the storylines detailed but well-paced.

The writing is GREAT, too.

All of them rock in their own unique way. I love that show. It is one of 2 that I watch regularly.
