Did anyone see tonight's finale? I hope that Ziva doesn't end up going back home and the group stays together after all. It is going to be interesting next season seeing what happens.

I did watch it. And I don't think they will break up the team. I haven't read where any of them want off the show.

[Noahs ARK]

I watched it. I doubt the team will break up.

What an ending!

Does anyone know what The Director was dying from? I can't remember.

I don't think we were ever really told, though I think Ducky eluded to it possibly being something to do with her brain and her motor skills, possibly MS?

[5boxersmom]

This is me and hubby's favorite show. I hope they don't break them up. They were sending Tony to an Aircraft Carrier. :shock:

[Louise]

It is mine too!! I like other shows but not as much as this one! I was quite shocked when the new director appeared to be breaking the team up, I am sure it will be an interesting season the next one, that is for sure regardless of what happens.

Wonder what the former Director had on this guy? Did you see him shredding somthing from his file?

[Louise]

Yes, I hope we find out what it was next season. It is going to be a very good beginning to the next season when it starts in September.

[Noahs ARK]

Wonder what the former Director had on this guy? Did you see him shredding somthing from his file?

I saw that, 5B. I was wondering if that's how the team will end up staying together. They'll find out the new director is guilty of something and everyone will live happily ever after.

I hope. I hope. I hope. :basic44:

Alot of the shows I watch left us with some really good cliff hangers. :shock:

they chnaged some of the actors and I love Gibbs!

[Louise]

Mia, did you watch the premiere of the new season on Tuesday night? The ending caught me completely by surprise. It will be an interesting season going by what happened. I hope Tony comes back too next week.

[african grey]

they chnaged some of the actors and I love Gibbs!

This is one of my favorite shows. This coming week it looks like the director is up to something and Gibbs finds out about it. I love my husband but Oh Mark Harmon!!!!!!! Or Gibbs!!!!!!!!!!!

I also hope they let Tony and Ziva fall in love. They are so good together.

[Roamer]

USA has this show every night. I never thought I'd like it, but watched for the first time last night, and loved it. I'll be watching from now on.

I agree this is one of my favorite shows.....I like the sexual tension between Tony and Ziva...if they fall in love, it'll spoil everything...

And how could you not love Mark Harmon....yummy

[nicky]

Alright TB lay off my men...lol

[Roenick]

Mark Harmon is only 2 months younger than my dad. Is it wrong for me to think he is hot??

I love this show. I usually only catch it on USA, so I'm way behind.

[PatC]

Has anybody seen this? I just searched for it on my DirectTV listings and I can't find it.

I like him OK, but Chris O'Donnell is no Mark Harmon.

I don't think it actually starts officially till September Pat. Those 2 episodes from the original NCIS were just a preview. According to wikipedia, it will be showing straight after NCIS on Tuesday nights.

[PatC]

You're right, thanks Louise. I saw "NCIS: Los Angeles, Fall Preview, May 20, 2009" on the show's web page

HERE (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/ncis_los_angeles/)

and thought it'd already started.

[Roamer]

TNT or USA shows two episodes every night if anyone wants to catch up. Sometimes they have marathons and it goes all day long.

[Roenick]

I love the all day Mark Harmon marathons. I mean... NCIS marathons.

[Noahs ARK]

I love the all day Mark Harmon marathons. I mean... NCIS marathons.

Me, too! I could watch Mark Harmon....I mean NCIS....all day!! :girl_haha:

[Trailblazer]

WooHoo...tonite a double NCIS...First the season premier of NCIS, then following with the new NCIS LA

Can't wait

[Battnt]

Me too TB!...It's gonna be good!...Ziva better be comin back too...lol

[PatC]

WooHoo...tonite a double NCIS...First the season premier of NCIS, then following with the new NCIS LA

Wow, thanks for the head's up. I might have missed it.

[LiveLaughLuv]

NCIS Los Angels was a great show last night...LL Cool J looks great...:basic44:

It really was a great episode and hope the rest of the season is as entertaining.

[TigressPen]

The original NCIS was good- I felt Gibbs was just waiting for his team to decide enough is enough and go find Zeva- The way it all unfolded made me feel Gibbs children finally grew up-

I liked the new NCIS too- I smiled when it showed the Director speaking to them. I wonder if he will have more appearances in the future.

Yep, last night's season kick off was great!

[Roenick]

LL Cool J is the bald black man. He was a rapper in the 80's/90's


I only watched about 20 mins of LA. I'll try and catch it later and see if it holds me. But I loved NCIS!!! Mmmm....Gibbs!!!!!!

[Louise]

It was a really good start to the new season, it will be interesting to see how Ziva goes with settling into the team again after all that she has been through.

[Noahs ARK]

Mark Harmon......what can I say? *sigh* :basic45:

Great season premiere. Ziva is confusing me right now - can't wait to see what's really going on with her.

I'd also take Dinozzo (Michael Weatherly) and McGee (Sean Murray) - has anyone else noticed that he's gotten cuter over the past season or two? Not so buttoned up. :smile:

I love the entire cast - Ziva is back; Abbey is the sweetest, funniest Goth I've ever seen; Ducky is adorable; and Jimmy Palmer is a stitch - especially when he was sneakin' off for a little "special time" with Attorney Lee. :biggrin:

I'd forgotten that! I knew I recognized her but couldn't recall from where. :0t31:

[Bayou Lass]

I simply love this show.....especially Mark Harmon! I even skipped DWTS to watch these two shows. Speaking of DWTS, I am not really impressed with anyone this year, so I will watch all my regular shows - CSI (all), NCIS (both), Criminal Minds and of course The Closer.

[Louise]

I'd forgotten that! I knew I recognized her but couldn't recall from where. :0t31:

She was also on The Practice too a few years ago now as well as some other shows which I can't recall without doing a websearch on her at wikipedia.

Linda Hunt has Turner Syndrome. I learned alot about this following the HaLeigh Cummings case. She is such a great actress.

I called Pam Dawber and asked if I could have him (they've been married for many years and have a child) - she politely declined and said she'd keep him. :000a1:

NEWS FLASH for NSIC junkies: USA will have 5 episodes on tonight (check your local listings, they start at 7:00 here. :grin: )

It's interesting that Linda Hunt has Turner Syndrome. I never saw her until she was an older woman and attributed what may be (minor) physical signs of the disorder simply to her age. I agree that she's great - very funny in her droll way. :biggrin:

[Jute]

New episodes of NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles tonight - 7:00 and 8:00 PM (first two hours of prime time, time will vary by time zone.)

NCIS:

Episode Detail: Reunion - NCIS
The deaths of a marine and his two friends are investigated; and Gibbs gets the final decision regarding Ziva, but is unprepared for how the news affects him.


Episode Detail: The Only Easy Day - NCIS: Los Angeles
Hanna has conflicted emotions in the case of a murdered drug dealer when he learns his Navy Seal comrades are involved.

Ratings: NCIS Kicks Off Season with Explosive Numbers

A huge premiere for NCIS paved the way for CBS' biggest nightly audience since 1993.

NCIS tops our list of the most-anticipated returning shows
:happy0158:
Twenty million viewers tuned into NCIS, a 28 percent leap from last season's premiere. Spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles benefited from the lead-in, drawing an audience of 18.3 million viewers, a 23 percent improvement over The Mentalist's premiere in that spot a year ago.

The one-two punch of NCIS shows outperformed the other network's two-hour airings. The second night of Dancing with the Stars three-night premiere pulled in 15.2 million viewers for ABC, while NBC's Biggest Loser and Fox's Hell's Kitchen earned 7.5 million and 7 million viewers, respectively. On the CW, 90210 stayed even with 2.2 million viewers, while Melrose Place continued its decline with only 1.5 million viewers.

NCIS Trivia Question

How old do you think Pauley Perrette (Abbey Sciuto) is? No peeking - just take a guess. :g: I guessed somewhere in the 25-39 range.

[F~M]

I remember seeing Abby's age somewhere and I was shocked. She's a lot older than she looks.

I can't remember her age.. and I'm not peeking.. but I won't guess because if I didn't happen to be so forgetful I would have the edge.

[Roenick]

I didn't realize that Sean Marray was the step-son of Donald Bellisario. And the girl that plays his sister, Sara, is really his step-sister... Bellisario's daughter.



Abby is about 39... even though she looks early 30's
My hubby is in love with her.

Yup! She was born in 1969! I about fell off my chair when I read it. I love her character Abby - the Goth with the tenderest heart on earth. I love her relationship with Gibbs - "I'm his favorite" - he's so sweet to her.

<snipped photos for bandwidth>



I don't have to guess, I read a biography of her a little while back. I remember she was born in New Orleans and has a degree in sociology and psychology and got straight A's in her Criminology classes. One place gave her credit for getting a Master's degree in Criminology and another place said she's naturally a blonde.

I think she's terrific and I want to grow up and be Abby! So there!

I haven't watched prime time tv for quite a few years; I'm so glad that USA started running NCIS or I probably wouldn't have ever seen it.

[F~M]

I didn't start watching NCIS until last season. I had to catch up on the re-runs on USA too.

Same thing with Criminal Minds. I'm still catching up on those, but I think I've watched 2 seasons on network channels.

&%(*$(*)!~!!!!!


So I for some reason was under the impression, last night, that it came on at 9p. So I missed the first 15 minutes of it.
Then at 8:31pm comcast went all freaky and was digitalizing and choppy. This went on most of the night but did clear up a little around 8:49

I also watched (what I could) of the first 25 minutes of NCIS LA or whatever it is.


Have I mentioned how much I hate digital tv?? I never had issues when the tv plugged into the wall with a wire. Now that they switched to the digital converter (I don't have digital tv or satellite) I have problems and glitches all the time. Why would I want to pay more money for it? I don't. I want my cable cord back!!!

I think it is in the signal strength from CBS, even here, some days the sound is gone, the sound is there but no picture. Some days just a banner saying they are experiencing difficulties. This only happens on CBS.

Are you watching NCIS on USA? There are still 3 episodes to go tonight. :basic44:

I voted in the "Who is your favorite NCIS character" poll - I wish they had one for "All of Them."

This site is so fun for all NCIS lovers. You can play Ziva-isms trivia ("When someone mixes up a cliché or an idiom, it's called a malapropism. Fans of NCIS, however, know them as Ziva-isms…

A former Mossad agent, Ziva first appeared in Season 3, and ever since, has amused her team with her ability to mangle American colloquialisms. Take this quiz on Ziva's greatest misses and see if you have a better grip on all the familiar, yet curious phrases spoken in America.")

There is a "MARK HARMON TRIVIA" quiz, too.

just watched a new episode, it is better and that stuff that you do it at night that begins with an S. sleep, snore, scratch, a stretch, or you add the one you like . The people, the plots, the personality , the interaction of the characters , I could go on forever and ever it is just amazing . My only regret is that I resemble Mr. Mark Harmon , and my only benefit is that my wife looks at me somewhat inquisitively, only when the show is airing . Maybe I should start building sailboats in my basement.:0t31:. As far as Ziva. is concerned, she was my childhood sweetheart, in my mind's altered eye . Anyone with expectations to spend time with her should consider the lawsuits from my ex-wife, although she doesn't know that yet. :0t31:

[Tracian]

Oh, my 14 year old son got me hooked, of course he call's it the Abby Show!

I really was sorry to see Kate gone...but really like Ziva..Love McGee...Tony..

but Mark Harmon! What a doll..love the character, and have a lot of respect for him. He is married to Pam Dawber, and the two of them worked really hard to change laws after Rebecca Shaffer was brutally murdered. (she starred with Pam on My Sister Sam)

A great show...

And, Missing Lucas....Happy late Birthday...what a great gift!

[Smokey Stover]

I've been a watcher of NCIS since it started. That's because I'm a sucker for action-adventure shows, of which this is one. I'm not surprised that the girls go for Mark Harmon, a former football star (quarterback at UCLA, I believe).

I have my quarrels with NCIS. There is far too much reliance on stereotyping that doesn't really fit the situation. I don't think DiNozzo has to be a childish bully trlying to relive his fraternity days, I hate to see Sean Murray pretending to alternate between being a slow, geeky oaf, an unconvincing metrosexual (look it up), and a savvy computer genius with three degrees from M.I.T. I think Gibbs overdoes the head-slapping and the taciturnity, especially the former. But the stories are good, the interplay of the actors is excellent. The actors are very professional, not least of them David McCallum (a.k.a. Illya Kuryakin, of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.).

I missed Kate when she left (and still do). What I heard was that she was disgusted with having to wait around all day for the script to arrive. And when she quit, Mark Harmon put his foot down, and David Bellisario was pretty much forced to leave the writing to others, so that the scripts would arrive in time. Kate, who was born Suzana Drobnjaković, has done some acting since, and has married the son of Sophia Loren. Imagine having her for your mother-in-law!

Ziva (Cote de Pablo) was born in Chile, but raised in Miami. How does she manage to sound Israeli? Art or childhood learning? She studied music and theater at Carnegie Mellon University, a top technical school, like CalTech, but also offering a full array of majors. She graduated in 2000, and you may have heard her sing in NCIS. (She does well.) She doesn't have the looks that Caitlin had, but she does have something else that they share: the ability to sustain the drama created by the writers.

Although I'm sometimes a sucker for personalities (I'm in love with Buffy the Vampire Slayer), in NCIS what gets me is the drama. There is way too much flag-waving and military chauvinism in this and other dramatic series created by Donald Bellisario, too much "Semper Fi." But what can you expect from a man whose last name is that of the most famous general, under Emperor Justinian II, of the Eastern Roman Empire. Because of Bellisario's preachy militarism, the Navy seems very glad to lend its ships for Bellisario's camera.

Since Bellisario turned over his writing duties to other hands, there have certainly been some moments of high drama. And Ziva has been central, I think, to making them effective. When she returned to NCIS from her service to her father, for instance, she did a moving portrayal of a woman caught in the vise of her feelings. So was the time she killed her half-brother. She's not as pretty as Kate was, but she is given some wonderful situations, and she knows what to do with them.

I admire the abilities of Gibbs and Ducky, I could do without either McGee or DiNozzo as the characters are written, and I'm sorry as hell to lose Agent Lee, the law-specialist and double agent who used to boink Jimmy Palmer, as well as Lauren Holly (the former Director, made famous in Picket Fences).

I got the first two seasons on dvd for christmas and i was boucing off the walls! i love this show, but i haven't watched the latest seasons. I don't really watch much tv anymore.

I see PatC has found me out. I sometimes have terrible syntactical slips, such as "[Agent Lee]...who used to boink Jimmy Palmer, as well as Lauren Holly (the former Director, made famous in Picket Fences)."???? No, Agent Lee did not boink Lauren Holly. At least not that I know of. I wouldn't mind dong it to either of them (but not Jimmy), but that was just a grammatical error.

Agent Lee is Filipino by ancestry (with some Spanish and CHinese), although she was born in the U.S. and speaks perfect English. Since her character was exposed (but just to the audience) as a spy on NCIS, she has appeared there only rarely. However, she has had a role on at least one other on-going series, so I may get to see her occasionally.

I seem to like chubby-cheeked girls, which may account for my attraction to her.

I'm sorry, Smokey, but I couldn't resist. Clearly, I knew what you meant but I see you do that so seldom I just had to tease you. The Debbil made me do it. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g258/PatC_pics/smilies/evil1.gif

I just noticed that our newest member is NCISAGENT. Maybe it's Gibbs, Dinozo, or McGee!! :basic44:

Whoever you really are, welcome to HFTM, NCISAGENT! :0012:

PatC is guilty of having said, "I'm sorry, Smokey." This is unacceptable. If she were truly a fan of NCIS, she would have known that one of Gibbs' firmest rules, often repeated, is "Don't apologize!"

So, PatC, don't let me hear that kind of talk from you again!

But do remind me when I transgress the rules of syntax. You've got a sharp eye!
