NCIS: Los Angeles

I think Ziva will join the CA NCIS spin-off team. Familiar characters make it easier to attract viewers.

That's what I was thinking.

I have not watched the finale yet, but Im not too happy with Zivas actions, she needs to get her head on right.

Watch it and it may make more sense as to why she is acting the way she is.

K. Will try and knock it out tonight.

WTF? Linda Hunt....

 

[dfergie]

First Impression...el stinko: terrible intro/theme music, young and unshaven actors, bad (at its best) acting, creepy old lady, no leadership in the unit. Not much about this show reminded me of law enforcement, professional investigation or the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

Dead Siskel says :down
Mute Ebert gives the show :down
riffjim4069 gives it :down

I was bored. Casting was way off, IMO. TD (timer deleted).

 

[gadgtfreek]

I don't ever judge a show this early, especially since it's new.

I dropped out of the first seasons of CSI Miami and CSI NY, then picked them back up and liked them.

Now I stick out the first season, unless it gets canceled.

 

[SatelliteGAL]

I reserve judgement for at least a few shows. I remember I didn't like CSI NY at first either because it was different from the others. Now I watch it all the time.

 

[Ramy]

I liked it.

 

[riffjim4069]

I don't ever judge a show this early, especially since it's new.

I generally agree, but I felt this show had nothing in the tank. But perhaps a few minor tweaks would help: new cast, new writers, plot (would help), etc.

However, the opening-night ratings were quite good. Go figure!

 

[gadgtfreek]

I have not watched the first epi yet, but I'm a little perplexed with the choice of Linda Hunt

 

[gadgtfreek]

Wasn't too bad. Acting needs some work, but hopefully it'll get better.

This show already got booted from my DVR list.
