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

5.0 out of 5 stars Pithy and smart, Feb 9 2009
By J. Strachan (Fort St John, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An initially overlooked show, only now beginning to be recognized..., Jan 11 2009
Sometimes I feel that the state of TV is in a rut these days. There's too many soap operas being billed as dramas, too many crime shows that blend into each other, etc. Most of it feels so flat, uninspired, and full of ridiculous plot premises, many of which are stretched out in desperation to gain fans.

Thank goodness for NCIS - a rare crime show that is fully engaging, enjoyable, and unpredictable. I have the pleasure of owning the current seasons available on DVD and don't regret a moment of it. The show in itself could have become a mess of cliches, much like other crime shows on TV; but instead it soars above such things. Luckily, it seems to be gaining more and more recognition each year - when I started watching it no one really knew what it was - now in its 6th Season, it seems to be everywhere.

What is the secret of its success? The characters are key. Many shows tend to sacrifice character development for plot; but NCIS takes a different route. The characters are as important as the plot is. The interactions the characters have with each other, using their unique personalities is aways a treat to see. Whether it be Gibbs' famous head-slap, Tony's banter with Kate, Ducky's stories of the past - It all adds life to the show. It keeps you laughing and interested in them - all the while making them seem real. Adding to the realism: Not everything about the characters is revealled. It still isn't in the later seasons - but bits and pieces are subtly written in throughout the season. As each layer is removed, the characters become more complex and intriguing. Answers are not always given, as previously said, but it really makes NCIS stand out among other crime shows. The characters are continually developing.

This would be nothing without a stellar cast. Luckily they have one. Mark Harmon is perfect as headstrong leader Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He gives off a commanding presence and is a major force in driving the show. Harmon brilliantly protrays Gibbs' cold demenor - a calculating leader that often bends the rules to achieve success. However, Harmon gives the character a compassionate side as well: Gibbs is a man that cares deeply about his team and is determined to protect those in need. He has a sense of duty, despite his guarded nature.

Micheal Weatherly as DiNozzo is a hilarious choice. He injects a sense of humour into every scene, especially when he is bantering with fellow co-worker Sasha Alexander, who plays Caitlin Todd. The two work well together and despite their quirks, always manage to get the job done. The chemistry between the two is perfect. David McCallum as the eccentric mortician/medical examiner Ducky is always a treat to see, with his funny quips about the past and "talks" with the dead. There's Sean Murray, who plays as new agent Tim McGee, who is vastly unfamiliar with field work; but adds to the team as a skilled computer whiz. And finally Pauley Perrette, energized forensics persona Abby Sciuto, that adds to the cast with her unique and funny antics.

Rounding out the cast are guest stars:
Joe Spano, who plays Gibbs' long-time friend Agent Fornell of the FBI. Spano and Harmon play off each other's quirks, their characters pretending to be rivals; but secretly trusting each other completely. Both actors work very well together. Brian Deitzen as Ducky's new assistant Jimmy Palmer is also well done. And of course, hats off to Rudolph Martin for his performance in playing our villain of the season, Ari - a psychopathic terrorist with his own agenda.

The cast is stellar and so is the plot: a unpredictable turn of events appears throughout each episode. It keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen next. It seems that the writers were not short on ideas and each episode is tightly woven together. From murders, to imposters, blackmail, abduction, money laundering, and terrorism, the plot spans far beyond that of a typical murder case in each episode. Sometimes there is no murder at all or the initial murder is connected to one of the aformentioned problems plaguing the NCIS team. The writers wrote an excellent script. As for Bellisario (the director of the series), it's safe to say that he's outdone himself by creating this series.

The show feels fresh and fun - it's also high on re-watchability. You'll enjoy seeing the episodes more than once. I often found that there were times where I'd pick up on certain aspects of an episode only after watching it the second or third time.

Overall, NCIS Season 1 does not disappoint. It's highly recommended.
