NCIS and spin-offs (Los Angeles and New Orleans)

[jeffro151]

If you've noticed, Gibbs doesn’t head slap Tony anymore. Weatherly had them quit doing it because too many fans were walking up to him in public and slapping him. I heard that the new deal he has is for directing, I guess he's at the point in his career that he wants to spend more time behind the camera instead of in front of it.

Yeah I can see how that certainly would get annoying while in public.

So he wants to direct NCIS or just become a director in general?

A directories general, I think he wants to start something totally new and wash his hands of NCIS.

NCIS' renewal for two more seasons isn't really great news

Here's some good news for NCIS fans. The CBS Navy procedural has been renewed for two more seasons, the network announced Monday. That's right; there will be a Season 14 and a Season 15. If fans are excited for that, they will also be thrilled to hear that lead star Mark Harmon has also signed on for two more years as Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

"It’s extraordinary that in its 13th season and with over 300 episodes to its credit, NCIS continues to excel at such a high level on a global scale,” Glenn Geller, president of CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. “It is testimony to an amazing cast, led on and off the screen by the exceptional Mark Harmon, for skillfully bringing this universally appealing team of heroes to life; and to Gary Glasberg and his writers for crafting compelling stories that feature NCIS’ signature blend of mystery, quirk, drama and comedy every single week."

Don't get me wrong, I adore NCIS and have been a fan for a really long time. That said, I'm on the fence about its renewal. Yes, it will be wonderful to see the cast back in action for two more seasons (that is, those who sign on for 14 and 15). No, it doesn't surprise me that the series scored such a major renewal, because it does so well and manages to maintain its fan base.

That said, and as much as it pains me to say this, it might be time for NCIS to come to an end. Don't get me wrong, I will be sad whenever the series finale airs, because it's been such a huge part of my life and my world of TV. However, I think it's best for NCIS to go out on a high note, rather than drag on for season after season.

Won't be the same without Tony!!!!

I wonder if this dude will be any good? Never heard of him

The article makes it seem that they are adding 2 agents (the other played by Sarah Clarke from 24), but that neither are getting automatic series regular status. I would guess that they are both basically getting on-air tryouts for next season.

I figured last week's episode was story telling how Tony would depart. The people that were impersonating him kept saying how easy it was to become Tony Dinozzo, since he led such a boring life.

Yeah but I still can't think of this show without him. He makes the show!

I think it will be fine. CSI survived without Grissom.

NCIS is different imo. Plus I don't think CSI was as good when Grissom left

It did get slowly worse as it went on, but it did survive, which I think NCIS can do also. Now, if Mark Harmon decides to leave, I think that is when it must be cancelled.

He and Mike make the show and can not continue when both leave. CSI still had pretty much everyone else as that cast stayed pretty much the same. I just don't think it will be as good when Weatherly leaves
