From the NY Times: No Mystery: Ratings Heat Up for ‘NCIS’.

On Tuesday that crime show about the Naval Criminal Investigative Service reached 18.8 million viewers, more than it ever had before and more than any other show on television for the week.


I really owe USA for finally getting me into NCIS. Their marathons make the show so accessible for viewers who haven't taken the time to check it out before. It was during one of their first marathons that I thought, "Hey, I'm not doing anything today. Other people love this show. I'll give it a try." And boy am I glad I did. They've become some of my favorite fictional people on TV.

CBS does these little self-promo things where they show the actors from different shows around the lots where they film. There's one where they show Abby and they follow that up with Patrick Jane from The Mentalist and now there's a tiny, crazy part of my brain that just wants those two characters to be pretty and fantastic together.

Mine is an evil laugh! Sorry! :D

But I get stuck on him in those vests and Abby in those skirts and my brain just sits up and goes, "Hello!" It's all very shallow of me. It does not help that one is on right after the other.

I read that in the Times today! I totally thought of you! :)

It's been AGES since I've watched though... ugh, school.

I'm enjoying this season a lot so far. The team is all together and being wonderfully in sync and silly. And appropriately serious should the need arise.

I think they're right about the show being more about character moments than plot. I know occasionally I'll be distracted and worry about missing what's going on, and then I'll relax because - in the long run - I'm watching it for the team and not for the mystery of the week.
