'NCIS' ratings ignite

I LOVE NCIS!!!!!!!! The stories are interesting and the characters are quirky. It is refreshing to see the interaction between the characters. They are not heavy and brooding over all kinds of personal issues. They are FUN! The guys are mighty easy to look at Abby & Agent David are a hoot! I do miss Loren Holly but that is just part of what makes it so interesting - anything can happen. Keep it coming!

The article stated:"Brennan came aboard after the departure of the prolific television hit-maker Don Bellisario, who was pushed out in a conflict with the show's star, Mark Harmon."

I hadn't heard about this before. But it pleased me greatly. While Bellisario has a lot of talent, he also has WAY too much ego and sense of self-importance.
How cool that Harmon sent him packing, the way Gibbs would have!!

Competitors privately profess some astonishment at the new popularity of the series because the improvement flies in the face of the recent formula...lots of sex and must-see story elements that compel..."

If you've watched this show, it rarely offends the senses, and is entertaining. Maybe, just maybe, these clowns who are constantly telling us what we want, will get the clue that we know, better than they do, what it is we really want.

I have loved the show for years and congratulate the writers for not selling out to the so-called necessary formula for success...now let's just hope this success doesn't lead them down that path...ER, etc.

As an old cop, Gibbs is my hero.

Interesting background on an excellent show. Wish there were more quality shows like this one. This is one show I watch without fail.

My entire family enjoys this show. I am appalled at how sexually graphic many shows have gotten. It's as if the TV execs got together and said, "Let's see we got away with so much last year, let's start making it obvious that people are having oral relations." What is happening? Keep up the good work, NCIS. I love the personalities on this show.

I ditto all these comments who love NCIS. It certainly is one of our most loved weekly shows. The actors all mesh..hope they keep on doing it. Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!
