    Navy NCIS may not be ghastly, but it's a mutation, gratuitous and clunky. We don't need another criminal investigation show and we don't need another military justice show, and this series is those two, two, two shows in one.

    But if its idea of entertainment is a new domestic terrorist threat every week - as it is in tonight's debut - no thanks. As for the stars, Harmon is Harmon, an acquired taste I never acquired. [23 Sept 2003, p.E1]

    As slow-witted as its redundant title would have you believe. [22 Sept 2003, p.3]

They are more interested in satisfying their own egos than honestly reviewing a program. The ratings clearly demonstrate that the viewers know better than the "professionals" as is usual. The only thing regretable is the lack of a more or less permanent "love interest" for Gibbs. There are a lot of interesting twists that could be possible with Gibbs dealing with mixed feelings for the lawyer, the madam and the Coast Guard Investigative Service woman. A running gag about "which Abby" left a message would work well.… Full Review »
