NCIS
Here's what I posted on there:I began watching NCIS because my parents put it on and I had been just a bit too lazy to get up. I had started hating most of the drama shows on because I'd seen them too much. I watched NCIS and it just hit me. It was so real. I've been watching the whole show from the first episode and the very first one Abby was rather 'emo-spastic,' but since then she's grown into a real goth. I pretty much am one I guess, so at first I saw the perfect little stereo type. Now, it seems they've done their research (or Abby's actress stepped in...) and I can see myself or some of my old high school friends in her. Plus, I like what Abby does for all us 'goths' out there. The stereotype against us is horrid.
Gibbs reminds me a lot of my father and the relationship between him and Abby just amuses me to no end. All the other characters are very true in nature as well. Tony is so perfectly 'I want to be man' and kinda is... McGee is sweet and I could have sworn I knew him too. Ducki is just plain amazing. He's so odd and out there. His name fits him perfectly!
All the cases are interesting and I actually want to know what happen. Creepy bodies, people getting the crap scared out of them, Gibbs fighting to get around red tape (and not always managing), evidence that you don't necessarily see coming, but makes sense, and best of all! Abby tazering some rat bastard for kid knapping her then trying to look up her skirt!
So basically I love it cause of everything up there and more!
I love Abby ... shes different from your typical character descriptions...know what I mean? I also think its hilarious that Dinozzo gets smacked up side the head all the time. :D
Yea... He deserves it. It's cause she isn't the stereo typical Goth/Emo thing, but the true Goth. Loving all things dark with common sense.
I love the relationship that all the characters have with each other. It totally cracks me up every time they smack each other upside the head. I love Abby and Gibbs together, its adorable. She can get away with a lot more than the others can. I just watched the first episode of this season, I loved how much they all missed each other. "Even Tony" lol
It's always 'even Tony.' He's loved, even if they don't like to say so. I've been watching the series from the beginning so I'm putting off watching the new ones.
One of the things that is so great about this series as it is just as good as the first season. A lot of shows kinda get boring after a few seasons. This one is always good. :)Did you buy the series on dvd, Erin? I really want to do that.
I agree the series has held steady. Nope, I'm a www.sidereel.com junkie. I blame my awful ways on my father...
Wow, I'd never heard of sidereel.com. I am so gonna use it.
It's really awesome. You should sign up. I love it cause I have a schedule on there that I can see which of my shows are currently airing. Plus, it keeps track of where you are in the series. Its really nice for starting from the beginning like I am in NCIS.
I loved the season finale but I don't want to wait until next season to see what happens! I can't wait to see the spin-off either.
Yeah, the two-part episode where they went to LA was a test episode. There's a new series that'll be on right after NCIS that follows the Special Operations team.

I still have mixed feelings about the Los Angeles one. I like it but a couple of the characters just irk me for some reason...like they're trying to replicate the characteristics of the orginal NCIS.
Mod
I'm not sure about the Los Angeles one either. I don't feel that the characters have as much of a connection as the ones in the original NCIS. Granted I've only see two episodes of NCIS LA.

I think Callen has some Gibbs like qualities, like he doesn't like to reveal too much about himself. Also I noticed how at least once an episode (for the past two weeks anyway) he is drinking coffee/tea/something in a coffee mug...and Gibbs always has his to-go cup of coffee.Kensi reminds me of Ziva a little bit.
The computer tech guy, I think is name is Eric, kind of reminds me of Garcia from Criminal Minds.
I love Hetty and her little comments (like about not getting blood on the clothes), and the banter between Callen and Sam.
I do like the show, and I'll continue to watch (like you Tami, thanks to DVR!). But I did stop watching the original NCIS for a season after they killed Kate off, it took Ziva awhile to grow on me. So I think eventually all the characters on Los Angeles will grow on me too.
I think Abby is going to be on Tuesday's NCIS LA?
I am definitely not a college student. As a matter of fact I'm only in the eighth grade, but I love NCIS!All or a majority of the procedural shows have, in my opinion, the same or too similar plot. Or it's just boring enough that I'm asleep within the first ten minutes. On NCIS everybody is like one big family. Gibbs acting as father and the team as his kids
Well the things that stand out:
It's funny
entertaining
intriguing
suspenseful
and quite frankly, it's addictive. To me anyway.
NCIS: LA is good, but I won't freak out if I miss an episode as opposed to the original NCIS.
I ESPECIALLY LOVE TONY TO DEATH! HE IS MY ABSOLUTE AND WILL REMAIN FOREVER TO BE MY FAVORITE! I don't think I can make that look like I yelled even louder, can I?
How did a 13 year old get into this group?Anyway, I got the first season of NCIS for Christmas! I'd only seen a couple of the episodes from the first season, so I was really excited to have a chance to see them. I'm almost through the season, and I picked up the second season a couple days ago. I love watching the shows without commercials. lol. I'm really starting to love Kate too. Which is sad because SPOILERS!!! she dies in the second season. I love the interaction between her and Tony.
Mod
Tami I think the same thing, except its also what would my kids think seeing how I'm going into Ag Ed. FFA students across the state would be speaking about the weird teacher who dressed as a goth...
Mod
Oh yes it would be wonderfully fun. I would be really tempted to do it to a competition. If someone ticks me off on dress code I just might...

Ok, so did anyone watch it tonight? Loved what I saw of it, half of the episode got cut! Did anyone get to see the whole episode? If so, could you tell me what happened between **SPOILERS** when they found the cop dead in the bathroom and when they called Ducky because the witness was having an allergic reaction?
NCIS LA has been growing on me the past few weeks...I think its because I have a slight crush on Deeks.
Mod
That is very true Tami! But Deeks is definitely my favorite! :)
Mod
The original NCIS has great characters too. They just aren't the eye candy the LA ones are.
Anyone else catch the Lisbeth Salander reference in NCIS tonight?
I haven't watch the episode yet but I will definitely listen for it.
Mod
New team??? Ah! I missed it last night because of rehearsal. I'll have to watch it tomorrow if I have time. Thank goodness for DVR. :)
Mod
Mod
Tami, you can watch the episode online if you still haven't seen it yet: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/ncis/vid...Also, it wasn't in the season finale but (view spoiler)
Mod
Mod
Last weeks LA was pretty intense. Wonder what will happen tomorrow?
I don't watch LA, but I catch the original every chance I get. Tami- I kinda felt the same way about that episode. It was interesting but none of the characters felt real. It was supposed to be a 'what if', but they still felt... out of character I guess.
Mod
Mod
I am very angry at my dvr. It missed the regular NCIS this week! Grrrrrr!
Mod
With so many crime shows on TV these days, why does NCIS stand out?
Is it those Gibbs looks you just can't resist? The fascinating cases? Or maybe (just maayybe) the personal character stories like a little something called "TIVA"?
