NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is an action drama, about a team of special agents whose mission is to investigate any crime that has a shred of evidence connected to Navy and Marine Corps personnel, regardless of rank or position. Leading this team that operates outside of the military chain of command is NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a highly-skilled investigator and interrogator who is smart, tough and willing to bend the rules to get the job done. Working under Gibbs is Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) a former Homicide Detective who has instincts that come only from working on the streets. Joining them are Agent Kate Todd (Sasha Alexander), a beautiful, tough former Secret Service Agent who has gone head-to-head with Gibbs in the past. She is killed on the last episode of season 2. Kate is replaced by Officer Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) a beautiful Mossad Agent. In season 2 there is a new member in Gibbs his team Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), a graduate of MIT whose computer skills earned him a spot on Gibb's team as a probationary Field Agent.
Then there is forensics specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), a gifted scientist whose dark wit matches her goth-style hair and clothes. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), who knows it all because he's seen it all: from murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines. The Director of NCIS is Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll), who is the replacement for Director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly), who is killed in the special two-hour finale of season 5, while protecting Gibbs from a past European assignment the two shared.
These Special Agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

@oranges me too, it's become a little... repetitive, I guess, after season 7
@wearestarrdust it only gets better, it's a shame you've stopped watching it...
Stopped watching after season two. Loved it though, would have continued to watch it if certain people were not killed off.
@az25 I highly recommend this series. To answer your questions: No, DiNozzo is not always a douchebag. Actually, I wouldn't consider him a douchebag at all. and Mark Harmon's acting is just, the BEST. To me he does look like the leader type.
Then again, I'm that typicall groupie that if she starts liking something, she likes everything.
Just watch the first five episodes or something. You'll see if you like it or not.
I believe this show change it's airdate, it's the second week in a row I see the episode being released a day earlier. Can anyone confirm?
I would watch this show, as I loved JAG... but DiNozzo... is he always a big douchebag? and Mark Harmon doesn't really do it for me as a lead guy, although I loved his guest appearance on The West Wing.
still loving this show...the characters are rather intresting..
I don't know why some of you don't like the show anymore? I still like it. My guess is that people just don't like change, but after nine seasons you can't expect it to be the same as season one. Also I think writing a script is really really hard. They've done it so far for nine seasons and you have to admit, it actually is still pretty good. Okay they shouldn't make another 5 seasons, but still. People are hard to figure out. If they love a show, they want as many seasons as possible, but after a while it starts getting boring and then they're "pissed". however, I still love the show. The writers+actors are doing a really great job. Definitly one of the better shows.
For several seasons now I've really just wanted NCIS to end. I can't stop watching it unless it gets extremely bad, but I don't enjoy it anymore :(
Any thoughts?
Thanks for the answers, hopefully it will change soon. :)
