As I've said before, I haven't actually watched TV since Babylon 5 ended in '98, just DVDs of shows I hear an awful lot about, like our beloved Firefly.
I was never interested in CSI:, because it looked to have too much gore for gore's sake.
A friend of mine just loaned me Season 1 of NCIS, which intrigued me because a) it's a Bellisario production and b) Mark Harmon's in it.
What a ruttin' amazing show!
Perfect blend of drama and humor, wonderful writing and acting, extreme attention to military detail...
This goes right to the top of my "favorite shows" list!
Anybody else here a fan?
Chrisisall, maybe?

I knew I recognized that line from your sig, MSG, while I was watching the episodes!
Just couldn't remember exactly which Browncoat used it.
As for controversy, I'd heard about Pauley Perrette's nightmare divorce, but that's it.
In the special features for Season 1, Bellisario readily cops to his micromanagerial style, but everybody seemed to really dig him (well, except for that one comment Mark made: "I'm not Gibbs - Don is Gibbs").
Turns out DPB's the one leaving...

'NCIS' creator is leaving his show
Mark Harmon, Bellisario not commenting on 'NCIS' change.
By Lynn Smith, Times Staff Writer
May 8, 2007
Neither Donald P. Bellisario nor Mark Harmon was speaking today about the news that Bellisario would be leaving the hit CBS show he created four years ago, "NCIS."
Rumors had spread through the industry and the blogosphere that workplace tensions had created a rift between Bellisario, the show runner, and Harmon, who stars in the procedural as Special Agent Jethro Gibbs. According to TVGuide.com columnist Michael Ausiello, Harmon had complained of long work hours and a "chaotic management style."
CBS Paramount Network Television confirmed over the weekend that Bellisario will be leaving to develop two projects that are part of his overall development deal with the studio. CBS spokesmen, however, downplayed any talk of conflict, noting that is not unusual for a show runner to step down after a lengthy run.
Rachel McCallister, a spokeswoman for Bellisario, said working hours have been shorter this season than in previous years. "Many of the crew have worked with Don for years. A lot came from [his previous show] 'JAG.' One would think that if it were that chaotic, they wouldn't be there."
CBS Paramount President David Stapf praised Bellisario in a statement, saying, "He not only built a top-rated show but a great producing team that provides terrific continuity for the years ahead."
Sources associated with the show said Bellisario's duties would likely be taken over by longtime show collaborators, including co-executive producer Charles Floyd Johnson and series writer Shane Brennan.
The show follows the NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) team that operates outside of the military chain of command. Its special agents travel around the world investigating crimes related to the Navy or the Marine Corps.
The show has developed a loyal audience that hasn't defected over the years to its formidable competitor in the same time slot, "American Idol." It consistently ranks No. 2 for the night. CBS executives are expected next week to announce a Season 5 for the drama.

Anyway, back to the fun stuff...
Apparently, Zac Efron (Young Simon, as if it needs to be said) was in a later episode...
