Hey, I was wondering if anybody else has ever watched this show. I've noticed that a whole bunch of fanfiction writers I've read are fans of both NCIS and CSI.
Granted NCIS is not as forensically oriented as CSI but they do do some of the same stuff.
So if anybody else likes this show, maybe we can chat about it.

I started watching NCIS from the beginning since it was a JAG spin-off with a CSI twist. But I didn't like the NCIS introduction in JAG, mainly because of the bad attitude of Gibbs, to me he was another HoCaine. But Gibbs and the whole show grew on me quickly and eventually I started liking it better than JAG (though also partially due to the weak last seasons of JAG). I didn't like the 2nd season finale though, I had heard the rumours but 30 seconds before the end nothing had happened so I thought the spoilers were a dud and then...BANG

I love NCIS!!! I really like the way Gibbs plays it close to the hip. Cut to the chase and avoid the BS. The subtle comedic flare is a welcome bonus. Gibbs and Abbs are the most intellegent caffine addicts on TV. Their chemistry alone makes the show worth watching.

Depends on the person, I love it. It's often claimed to be a JAG spin-off but it deviates a lot from JAG, JAG focused on the court scenes after someone was arrested (well it should have, but in the last few seasons Harm and Mac had to save the world every ep which sucked) while NCIS is about what happens before that, analysing forensic evidence and catch the sob.

I think the difference between NCIS and JAG is like the difference between the first and second half of a Law and Order ep. NCIS is the crime and the pursuit of the criminal, and JAG is prosecuting (or defending) the accused. If you like frequent plot twists you should give it a try.

I loved the suspense! I couldn't figure out who it was gonna be until the moment it happened, unlike a lot of other shows.

NCIS has made a fairly well start so far, especially in comparison to the other shows I watch. Only Cold Case made a better start IMO, CSI and CSI: NY aren't really anything special, me being especially disappointed with CSI so far (6x05 was very good and 6x07 was nice as well even though I think the start was maybe a bit too Miami'ish). NCIS does fairly well, I loved the scenes with Kate in the first two eps. I was intensely satisfied when Ari was finally decorated with a nice bullethole between the eyes. I also like the new director....oh and I think I'm starting to add another ship to my list. She is sooo right for Gibbs. I also liked seeing Fornell again in the last episode, I love him seeing him and Gibbs together (not in a shippy way though ). What I don't like is the Mossad bitch. She should go home or something...I just don't like her. As far as I'm concerned they can make Paula Cassidy a regular, I didn't think she was bad and I'm sure she would grow on me, especially because her chemistry with Tony can be more compared to the chemistry between Tony and Kate. I also don't like Michael Bellisario. I didn't really like him on JAG as Mike Roberts, I don't see why he has to pollute NCIS as well, Abby is perfectly fine alone.

NCIS is a show that spun off from JAG. In JAG there were frequent referrals to NCIS before the show started. NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service and is essentially a crime unit for the US Navy and the US Marine Corps. When a crime involving a member of Navy or Marines is commited (either those persons being victims or suspects), NCIS investigates. Such cases can go to trial by JAG. JAG focused on that trial stage (or at least it should have) and NCIS thus on investigating. The show has CSI elements since they do forensic science.
NCIS is also involved in anti-terror operations where the Navy or Marine Corps is concerned.
Whether you like the show or not is up to you. NCIS has a strong sense of humour and Gibbs absolutely rules. It could be considered a bit less serious than CSI because of the humour but I don't think so really. I like NCIS.

I don't know, check the CBS website, I only know it airs on Tuesdays in the US. No clue if it airs in the UK.

NCIS is one of the best shows on tv. I love it! They have everything. Humor, great storyline and really good actors.
