Product Description

From Amazon.com

Equal parts JAG and C.S.I., NCIS does a formidable job of blending relevant military headlines with quirky characters who are tenaciously determined to solve a crime--even if it means having to sleep in the morgue to get a few minutes of shut eye. Created by Donald P. Bellisario (JAG, Quantum Leap), NCIS actually began as a two-part episode of JAG in 2003. Later that year, the drama made its full-season debut on CBS. On this six-disc set, which includes all 23 non-JAG episodes plus optional commentary by Bellisario on the first episode, viewers are introduced to an elite squad of special agents, led by Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs is a hard-nosed investigator who doesn't say much. But when he does, an insult usually comes out of his mouth. He's brilliant when it comes to ferreting out the truth, but he's not savvy enough to figure out how to block his ex-wife's nagging phone calls. Instead, he makes do by destroying his cell phone. Gibbs' team is fleshed out by an eclectic and somewhat eccentric set of colleagues, including medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), wannabe playboy and former homicide detective Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), forensics expert and resident Goth chick Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), and former Secret Service agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander).

The murder of a peripheral NCIS agent halfway through the season is a taste of what's to come in future seasons when core characters leave the show (voluntarily or not). But in its first year, the show sets up a strong premise that (while not wholly original) is well executed. One of the more stickling aspects of the show is its reluctance to allow Tony to show signs of maturity. At times, he behaves more like a rambunctious puppy than an ace investigator. --Jae-Ha Kim

Description

A team of special agents, operating outside the military chain of command, must investigate any crime with pieces of evidence connected to Navy and Marine Corps personnel, regardless of rank or position. Character driven stories with surprising twists play a large role in the second season of NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service). The NCIS team of investigators is led by Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), an experienced investigator with sometimes unorthodox, but always effective methods. Working under Gibbs are Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo (Michael Weatherly); Special Agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander); Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette); and NCIS's medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum). Additionally, joining the staff this season will be Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) whose communication and computer skills outweigh his naiveté. Whether investigating murder or espionage, the NCIS goes global in their quest to solve all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

This review is from: NCIS - The Complete First Season (DVD)
I stumbled onto this show one night on a rerun and have since become obsessed. I like the crime scene shows (CSI, etc.) but sometimes find them very clinical and lacking in personality. This show has somehow managed to avoid that problem, while still maintaining the aspects that I liked about the other crime shows, this one keeps up the personality that I love. It's definetley a character driven show, which just keeps you wanting more. Well worth collecting.

This review is from: NCIS - The Complete First Season (DVD)
I didn't start watching NCIS until the 2nd season & a few weeks ago there was a an episode that flashed back so I wanted to get caught up. Glad I did....this did not disappoint me at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like CSI, but with writing., Jun 17 2010
By 
This review is from: NCIS - The Complete First Season (DVD)
I like Forensics. I like mysteries. Where CSI tends to favor hitting you over the head with it's plot points, NCIS doesn't feel like it's insulting you as you watch it.

I've seen better shows. But you know it feels like it's comfortable where it is. It's a good, but not great mystery series.

The characters are real, and for the most part are natural. Minus the hostile workplace dynamics that if it were real life would have pretty much everyone getting court martialed.

It's also about the only TV show or movie I've seen where when it comes to computers they actually do some research instead of just making stuff up that sounds like it'd fit right in on Star Trek. But even though the words are right... sometimes it just doesn't fit in naturally.

As seems to be the theme... good, but not great on the research.

Furthermore, I am not a fan of the United States Armed Forces. But the way NCIS handles these issues? Doesn't bother me especially. I can only assume because they have the good sense not to alienate liberals. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this series. It's a fun little show, but it's not going to blow any minds.
