NCIS

[Howard Simmons]

So Gibbs is gone for good?

No I think he might come back for a few episodes.

 

[KAB]

No I think he might come back for a few episodes.

I read that is being reserved for the last series episode(s), whenever that may be.

 

[Jimbo]

Well I wonder if this the last season for the show?

More than likely.

 

[Jimbo]

I had to laugh when the guy gives Gibbs the gun and says "You ever shoot ? "

I think, so far they have had Very Good episodes ....

If you are old enough, you can remember when Harmon was a spokesman for Coors during its national rollout. At the time Coors emphasized its wide open spaces origins, and he was seen dressed much like he is in this episode, fishing, hunting, and other such activities.

Anyway, pre-season it was announced that Harmon would appear in six episodes, so maybe they just went with 4, or more likely they will have him show up in a two part deal at some point, probably during sweeps.

Well I wonder if this the last season for the show?

If not this year, they are getting close.

 

[SamCdbs]

If not this year, they are getting close.

Yes.

Renewals are a function of two things, more or less. Ratings and ratings/costs.

So we need to take a hard look at the Gibbs-less ratings, starting this coming week, which is followed by a rerun, then a new show the next week, after which CBS is being unusually quiet about new vs used. If the ratings, particularly after MNF ends and changes the character of the night can remain OK, and the remaining actors are willing to work for realistic (by Hollywood standards) pay, they might squeeze another year or even two out of it.

My money is that they start resolving character’s stories late this year and call it a day.

The potential strike might throw a wrench into things. They will want to end with a full season.

I’m old enough to remember Mark Harmon in 240-Robert.

Sad. Such a great actor. I know NCIS will do an episode to honor him.

R.I.P. Ducky...

 

[Radioguy41]

Here's the question, who will show up for Ducky's funeral next week? Tony? Ziva? Gibbs?

Nice tribute to Ducky.

Nice tribute to Ducky.

Quite a surprise at the end, but there should have been more.

 

[dfergie]

Still enjoying, 1000th (for all the series) coming up Monday...

 

[teachsac]

That 1000th episode was disappointing.

 

[Jimbo]

That 1000th episode was disappointing.

It wasn't as Great as you would hope.

I was surprised that Vance's son was a prominent figure in the 1000th episode.

They even used a New person to play him (afaik, it didn't look like the same person to me).
