Still wishing CBS would license one ACTUAL Goth song for their character to play in her forensics lab who looks like this! I can haz Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Dead Can Dance, London After Midnight??!? Or how about modern American Goth bands for her? Faith and the Muse, Bellweather Syndicate, She Wants Revenge, just once in a while maybe?

I still think Mark Harmon's best work was in 'Summer School'

It's because the characters haven't slept with each other,  a baby hasn't been born in a cab and they haven't added a kid.

And it's still more entertaining than anything you've ever crapped out, subby.

NCIS is the Matlock of a new generation.

DownDaRiver: HotWingAgenda: DownDaRiver: And why is that godawful NCIS Los Angles still on the air? And why isn't it set in San Diego, where there is actually a real Naval base?

I didn't realize the naval background of Los Angeles and Long Beach was such a well-kept secret.  You never even suspected there was a reason why there's an entire class of submarine designated as "Los Angeles"?

I am aware LB and LAs history. But it doesn't compare to SD in past and present naval presense. Beside Pendelton is nearer to SD. Seems to me SD would have been a better setting. But then again we are talking about a really, really crappy show. So its not worth getting into.

I happen to enjoy both NCIS shows, so number 1... BECAUSE FARK YOU THAT'S WHY!

Number 2...  The show is filmed in LA, so easier

Number 3...  A setting in LA would seem to lend itself to more stories.  So that makes sense to me.

And really why the hate?  It's a tongue in cheek cop show, really both of them are.

/Besides by ranting such as you have, you're just asking to get obliterated by the goddamn BATMAN Gibbs

wambu: Perhaps this season Tony will finally score with Ziva.

Didn't he nail her in Paris? Just like Gibbs nailed Jenny?

Show has definetly run its course.
More an more its now the Abby or Ziva show.
Last Tuesdays show they barely had time to work in the whole murder then solving part. It was all Abby.
At the end, if you sneezed you missed how they solved the case because it was all about Abby.

And why is that godawful NCIS Los Angles still on the air? And why isn't it set in San Diego, where there is actually a real Naval base?

My favorite TV female of the year just recently passed:

NSFW
Hope to see more of her.

One day I might get actually get around to watching an ep. of the show actually under discussion.

I was watching an episode this past week which focused on Abby having some kind of flash back to some kind of childhood trauma and I thought this show must have jumped the shark with me because Abby is getting on my last nerve and I don't give a shait about what's bothering her.

Wife watches NCIS damn near 24/7 if possible.  I don't get the appeal, they cycle the same format over and over.  This show, Criminal Minds and the like have the same stereotypical characters.  I don't actually watch many of the shows but I hear them all.  When you remove what is apparently regarded as eye candy and only hear the shows it's apparent that they are stuck on repeat.  I am amused by how the geeks on TV "hack" into anything in about 20 seconds accompanied by around 1000 pounding keystrokes in the background.  I also like how they "hack" into other government agencies databases with no blowback whatsoever.  Like I said, when all you get is the audio you get a little different viewpoint.

aujoshh: Not only has  NCIS been on for 11 years, but remember, it's a spinoff of  JAG, a show that debuted in  1995.

Even crazier is the fact that someone born in 1995 (January at least) is old enough to join the actual navy.

Well I think for the 11th season they need to put Ziva in a bikini again.

Not only has  NCIS been on for 11 years, but remember, it's a spinoff of  JAG, a show that debuted in  1995.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: And it's still more entertaining than anything you've ever crapped out, subby.

I got more of an "Man I'm old, time sure flied by" vibe from the headline, but hey, to each his own.

Because Mark Harmon is awesome, that's why.

FirstNationalBastard: Spanky McStupid: The "Abby" character is getting to be a little too precious.

FirstNationalBastard: violentsalvation: I'm tired of all the family member / childhood episodes this season. DiNozzo's dad at Christmas, Ziva's dad episodes, Leon's you know what. Abby's stupid childhood story.  It's alright, Leon's garbage collector brother, his brother's wife, Elinore, and his curmudgeonly father Andrew will be moving into Leon's little Baltimore apartment for the remainder of the season, while Leon will rediscover his passion for music and quit NCIS to play trumpet in small clubs.

Loved that show.

God Bless the child that's got his own.

That's one of those shows I don't know why it hasn't made it to DVD yet, but figure it'll get a Warner Archives release eventually.

Why do you need it on DVD? Just change your channel to USA and I am sure it will be on.

Wouldn't you feel bad if subby is Pocket Ninja?
