There was something wrong with Tuesday's show, at least to me. The whole story was weak, nobody did any serious acting, and there was a distinct anti-gun flavor. Like they had another team of writers or something. Anyone concur?
Any NCIS fans here?

I'm a fan of the show and have been watching it since it's beginning. I agree that this past week's episode was a little weak and did notice the anti gun statements. They seem to be in 'test mode' since Ziva left and looking for the right mix to strengthen the show. They've had some less than stellar episodes over the years (almost like they've been thrown together at the last minute to meet a deadline) and I'm hoping the present situation is just a case of growing pains.

I like the show, but they do seem to a problem with story lines.
How many times can you do ' get your gear, dead Petty Officer.'
I got a bunch of stories about my old buddy Milt who spent many nights with the 4077 MASH. Yes, there really was one. Later he wrote story lines for the show. All based on true events.

Yep, buddy of mine said he hopes NCIS never visits his house.
It seems they always find the homeowner dead.

I mostly stopped watching after Cote de Pablo left.
The show seems somewhat listless now.

I'm liking the new girl . . . cute, smart, and not over the top with her man killing skills. I never was much of a Ziva fan.

I usually catch the re-runs on USA, and every now and then I'll watch a new episode on CBS. I don't like the new girl. She's too awkward and not in a likeable Abbie awkward type of way. I wish they took Nicole Beharie (LT. Abbie Mills) from Sleepy Hollow and made her Cote de Pablo's replacement. I might get flamed for this, but I want a minority female. Cote de Pablo's "Israeli" culture on the show, and her humor, made her a likeable character. It's kinda boring seeing a bunch of white people stand around and solve crimes. ...and yes, I'm a white person saying this.
NCIS? Whats that??
Rule #8
Duh yes, I am a fan. Way better then NCIS LA where all they do is shoot people with their Sigs. Never figured that show out. They never do any NCIS investigations, it's all anti terrorist.
If it wasn't for Kensi it would be really bad.

The show was great for years . . . . it has been getting weak for along time - implausible story lines, etc. Then Ziva leaving really put a wet rag on things and the new member just doesn't have it.
I never see them do the things that I remembered NIS agents doing: Investigating ship's store break-ins and busting sailors for possessing weed and/or kiddie porn.
It sounds as if.....
It sounds as if the program has 'jumped the shark'.
We use to like the show. Ducky, Abby and Jethro were my favorites.

I felt the same way. New writers, producers or director?
If the show continues this way, it will be gone asap.
NCIS needs to return to the style it was before the Ziva leaving/break in the new chick story line.
The McGee/DOD chick is out of character too!

Agreed. Not the same show, but similar topic I feel the same way towards The Big Bang Theory too. I enjoyed the show when it was only the guys and Penny. Now they added Bernadette and Amy. The show's plot is now broken up 50/50 between the guys' drama and the girls' drama.

Well that new blonde bimbo sure isn't the answer--
Besides getting rid of her, they need some new writers.

I cannot find any reality in TV cop shows.
My wife is an RN she cannot find any reality in TV medical shows. We never watch them or much TV.
However I do have several jobs for NCIS.
1. Find out why TV shows in general are dead. Who killed them.
2. Find out who murdered Adams Family, The; - - I love Lucy, The Groucho Marx show, - - - Zorro and even the Ted Mack Amateur Hour.
For back up NCIS can put Car 54, CHiP, Adam 12, Highway Patrol, Dragnet, or the FBI on the case. If all else fails send in Barney Fife.
I don't know what has happened to TV. Now leave me alone, driving and texting is so hard to doooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I couldn't disagree more.
Amy and her [probably doomed] effort to get busy with Sheldon are HILARIOUS. The spanking episode was one of the funniest on TV in the last ten years.
I have to disagree regarding Ziva. We got through Kate being shot and Ziva coming on board to take her place. It will take a while to get over the loss of Cote but given time, the new girl will start to grow on us. I too like her change of pace style as a somewhat awkward "probie". I think as her character develops more and she becomes stronger, the story will improve. Hopefully, any anti gun rhetoric will disappear and we can move on to solving more deaths.
As far as NCIS LA, I like the chemistry there too. The maturing of Nell and the possible relationship with Eric adds a little suspense as well as the situation with Kensi and Deeks.
Speaking of Kensi, whats up with her eye?

Hey, no thread-jacking. 
Stick to the topic, y'all.
Yeah, I'm a long-time fan of NCIS. Saw it all. You're not catching the fact that the blonde super-smart probie is a Giblet from the start. Gibbs gives her respect from the start, lets her do the things she needs to do in the way she needs to do it. Can't y'all see that maybe Gibbs sees her as a daughter-figure? Duh! I've watched a lot of "detective shows" over the years, the one thing that keeps me coming back to NCIS, is that there is that chauvinistic thing that Gibbs has, deep down inside, the loss of his wife and child, that makes him VALUE the women he has on his team, and he makes them Better.

How can you use the Big Bang and NCIS in the same paragraph let alone the same thread thread??
The Big Bang Theory , really ??
OMG

Happens to the best of them sooner or later. I heard there was going to be an NCIS, New Orleans. Don't know if that's still in the pipeline or not. Regarding the anti-gun message, Mark Harmon's the executive producer and a big time anti-gun guy. Ironic they put out these anti messages and then proceed to shoot up half of D.C. or Virginia. I can only recall one NCIS episode where no one pulled their Sig. Code of Silence starring the late Charles Durning.

I musta missed that "anti-gun" message thingie somewhere. I really doubt that Mark Harmon would produce a show where actors are trained to do as their Federal Agent characters would do, and "shoot to kill" and somehow try to wriggle an "Anti-Gun" message in there. Makes no sense.

Me two. The Air Force has the OSI, they mostly do the same investigating you just mentioned. Any Feds on board? I never knew that the NCIS / OSI had that much jurisdiction off base. For that, we got those folks in the starched shirts, the FBI.
Happens all the time, CJ. For example, IMHO, there's no bigger shoot-em-up show on primetime than Hawaii Five-0. Last week's re-run contained a diatribe from Scott Caan's character at a gun shop owner. In it, he ranted that "Guys like you, (meaning a legit gun shop owner), are the reason there's crime." and the usual, "If there were no guns, there'd be no crime." When it's pointed out that he has a gun, "Well, that's different. I need it." If anti messages are in this show, you can bet they're pretty much everywhere.

Yes indeed, happens all the time. That was pretty much what Rosie O'Donnell said when it was revealed that her body guards were armed.

*chuckles* I don't watch Hawaii Five-0. In 90 days I'll have my Conceal Carry Handgun License, and you will be Safe with me, I promise.
The sad thing is, that there are lame-os out there who really believe that "only criminals will carry guns" ****. AND they believe shows like NCIS, and Hawaii Five-0.
*heavy sigh*
Wanna hear the Real truth as I heard it from my Conceal Carry Handgun instructor, and verified by the Supreme Court?
