I love Gibbs-centric episodes of "NCIS," it may be due to my unabashed love of "Summer School" or "The Presidio," but whatever the reason, I love them.
I can tell you quite honestly that I was thrilled that the Halloween teen pranksters got the scare of their life at the start of tonight's "NCIS."
Dead blogger? Tonight's "NCIS" started with a dead blogger?!? Were they trying to tell yours truly something? I like the show, I swear I do. Sure, I complain about plots every now and then, but it comes out of a good place. Now, Matt Burns, he was investigating an NCIS cover up for his blog, something...
We knew that Ziva was alive and back in the States as of the end of the last episode of "NCIS," what we didn't know was whether or not she was going to be part of the team again. Except, of course, that she was definitely going to be, whether or not the show wanted to...
It has been a long time since the "NCIS" finale last spring, and my one hope was that poor Ziva hadn't had to remain a hostage that whole time (there was no way she was going to be dead). Well, we didn't find out about that immediately. No, instead of being given an instant answer...
Last week on "NCIS", we got a brief taste of the new spin-off series planned to take over the airwaves next fall. It's got all the qualities for a hit show (beefy black guy, gorgeous lead character, sassy female boss, neurotic sidekicks, etc) but does it have the staying power? If tonight's show is any indication, it's going to be even better than NCIS or, dare I say it, even JAG!
In the beginning, there was Hawaii Five-O, which begat Magnum P-I, which begat Quantum Leap, and NBC saw that it was good; the Peacock created JAG, which moved to CBS, who created a spin-off called "NCIS." CBS saw that it was good... now comes the spin-off of the spin-off. Here's hoping (success-wise) it's more like Good Times than Joanie Loves Chachi.
Abby is so in demand that the FBI take her from her "NCIS" lab to deal with a missing lab rat's project. If that lab hadn't been chock-full of the latest and greatest technology, there's the chance this could have turned into one God-awful inter-government mess. Then again, Abby's never been shy to take charge when it's been needed.
