Any NCIS aficionados? Gibbs and co led the way, and now there are the Los Angeles and New Orleans teams. Do they reach the high standard of the original? Who are your favourite characters?
I always watch NCIS and the other two! I have always liked Gibbs and Ducky, and in fact most of them except for the juvenile competition for Gibbs' approval or attention. That rather gets on my wick. The one I couldn't really take to was ZIva. The best ever team member was Kate, IMO, shame she was killed off so early.
What amuses me is that these are terrifically huge shows in the US, well the original one at least, and yet here they are subject to the vagaries of channel 5's chaotic scheduling arrangements. Still at least they do get a Freeview airing so reach a bigger audience than some shows.
I don't know if any of you have seen Series 13 yet, but the departure of Tony, was a bit predictable. He is probably right to leave now, I think they were running out of stories for him. It'll be interesting to see who is cast as the replacement... My money is on that Coast Guard Investigator, Abigail something.
Though having said that, I watch some series on-line direct from across the pond, as they're being transmitted on the networks over there. So keep schtumm so as not to spoil them.

It is on Five at the moment, a really old episode Jet Lag with DiNozzo and Ziva trapped on a plane.
I like McGee, Abby and Duckie. More than a nod to Abby in the Penelope Garcia character in Criminal Minds, I think. Hadn't watched it for some time, but it's filling some gaps now when there's nothing else to watch, and I am enjoying it all over again.
I wish they'd let the Abby character grow up just a little. She's in her late 40s yet behaves like a 15 y.o. still. The other characters are fine. But she is starting to irritate.
