Editor's Note Produced by Donald Bellisario (JAG), NCIS follows the workings of investigators at the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Led by the wise Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a crack investigator with no qualms about bending the rules to find his answers, the team takes on cases involving terrorism, murder, espionage, and international arms smuggling. Gibbs is aided by homicide detective Anthony Dinozzo (Michael Weatherly), forensic scientist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), computer expert Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), and new department head Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly).

DVD Verdict 9 of 10
Magnum, P.I., Airwolf, Quantum Leap, JAG; I'd say Donald Bellisario has a few hits to his credit. As a matter of fact, Tequila & Bonetti is about his only TV flop. As a writer, Bellisario is gifted with the ability to write great action mixed with humor and quirky characters that we grow to love. Despite the complex title, NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service is no exception. Heed the bosun's whistle and get on board: this ship is about to sail into adventure...NCIS is very much under the radar. It's a strong weekly performer, but it doesn't get a lot of press or buzz. I think the reason many people never tuned in was because of the show's military theme. If that's the case, watch. - Cynthia Boris
