NCIS: Anyone Here Still Watch?
Wife and I watched last night's episode: March 24, 2026, the 500th episode of the show

Don't want to spoil it for anyone still watching...but WOW

Eek Eek Frown Eek Eek

I get the impression they are launching the beginning of the end for this show, it feels like it's going to start getting wound down to a conclusion in a year or two or maybe less.

I still watch as I have since the first one. Last night was a bit of a shock.

I still watch. I have not seen the 500th episode yet. My wife prefers NCIS: Origins.

I have not seen the 500th episode yet. Of course we're currently watching Season 12, so it's gonna be a while before we get there! Wink

I think we have seen every episode. Never liked the New Orleans show with the fake accents and seemed like everything was about Pride.

I watch NCIS Sidney too.

The show last night 500 was something.

I binge watch it to catch up but it’s not an urgent thing for me to do.

It’s obviously not the same show anymore. I think Probie is the only original person left? And he’s not a probie anymore.

I would like a nice closure to the whole series. I don’t know how to accomplish that since NCIS (the agency) has to continue. Maybe every current character moves on and a new team takes over and that’s that.

We haven't watched in over a year as the show is so bad, now, but my GF read about what happens in the 500th episode, so we'll watch it.

Last I saw, Jimmy Palmer was still on the show, I consider him an original since he joined either towards the end of the first season or shortly into the second.

Personally, I hope they kill it off, it's been so bad. With the whole series on several channels, I started watching it from S1E1 a few months ago, when it was at the best, but got distracted by news programs. I'll have to get back into it.

A couple times a year I watch Call of Silence, last time was Veterans' Day.

They had a helluva run, though, didn't they?

It was a guilty pleasure of mine for years. I would never call it a “good” show, but it was fun.

It passed its use by date for me sometime between when Ziva and Abbey left. Certainly it should have ended when Gibbs left.

I do still rewatch the early seasons when I just need some comfortable background noise.

That was a decent episode. I surely hope they’re not thinking of reviving the series with a new character or even perhaps the return of Gibbs as the director.

I watch it and it's the only version I can watch but agree that the end may be coming. The last episode was really good and a bit sad as well. About a year ago I went back and semi-binge watched the entire series from day one. Surprisingly, a lot of it I didn't remember but it was a good refresher course.

I have watched all the episodes up until when Gibbs left, or a little after. I didn't care for the series after Gibbs left.

I still watch and was very surprised at the last episode. I think they've been able to keep the show decent through the years even with the cast turnover. It was nice seeing Bishop back last week too.

Like many TV shows NCIS is imaginary and I base it on this..

We had an NCIS Agent come to one of our Detective briefings. He was giving us info on something (years gone by and can't remember what) but I believe he was looking for a person or some information.

I couldn't resist and raised my hand. He called on me and I asked him if he couldn't use all that fancy computer swipping programs they have, the forensics they use etc. He sheepishly said that was all Hollywood and they had nothing of the sort and went on about how stupid the show portrayed them.

And; I had to interview a Marine on a case I had. The interview room was the actual supply closet..I kid you not...

Not a fan of NCIS

I haven't seen the very latest ones. I watch the reruns on the Pop channel from time to time. They are up to about season 20 or 21. Also on H&I. Since Mark Harmon/Gibbs aged out, they are just passable.

Around 12 years ago we got retired Director of the U.S. Marshals Service, John Clark, as our Security Director where I work and I was helping to escort him around for a visit. I found myself in an elevator with him and couldn't resist asking how the TV show Justified compared to the real US Marshals Service and he sort of chuckled and rolled his eyes and said "nothing as exciting as that show!"
