Equal parts JAG and C.S.I., NCIS does a formidable job of blending relevant military headlines with quirky characters who are tenaciously determined to solve a crime--even if it means having to sleep in the morgue to get a few minutes of shut eye. Created by Donald P. Bellisario (JAG, Quantum Leap), NCIS actually began as a two-part episode of JAG in 2003. Later that year, the drama made its full-season debut on CBS. On this six-disc set, which includes all 23 non-JAG episodes plus optional commentary by Bellisario on the first episode, viewers are introduced to an elite squad of special agents, led by Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs is a hard-nosed investigator who doesn't say much. But when he does, an insult usually comes out of his mouth. He's brilliant when it comes to ferreting out the truth, but he's not savvy enough to figure out how to block his ex-wife's nagging phone calls. Instead, he makes do by destroying his cell phone. Gibbs' team is fleshed out by an eclectic and somewhat eccentric set of colleagues, including medical examiner Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard (David McCallum from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), wannabe playboy and former homicide detective Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), forensics expert and resident Goth chick Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), and former Secret Service agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander).
The murder of a peripheral NCIS agent halfway through the season is a taste of what's to come in future seasons when core characters leave the show (voluntarily or not). But in its first year, the show sets up a strong premise that (while not wholly original) is well executed. One of the more stickling aspects of the show is its reluctance to allow Tony to show signs of maturity. At times, he behaves more like a rambunctious puppy than an ace investigator. --Jae-Ha Kim

Rating:  - I'd love to review it; NEVER RECEIVED IT!
Never received my purchase...sent the seller an email, thru amazon, on Oct 5th, but no response.
Rating:  - NCIS Season one
Enjoying this very much. As I didn't start NCIS from the get go. this allows me to make sense of some of my before unanswered questions. Also, very nice without commercials.
Rating: - Excellent
Excellent, just what I expected. The only thing I don't like is that there are no subtitles.
Rating: - NCIS DVD
The first of an excellent forensic-murder series that has characters with personalities that develop and grow throughout the series.
Rating: - Something more than another crime drama
On televison, there are dozens of crime dramas. While none of them have the long-standing history of Law & Order, or the popularity of CSI, I've found that NCIS is one that has always managed to keep my interest and been much more enjoyable to watch. To this day, NCIS is the only crime drama I watch and TV, and I've never felt compelled to watch anything else in the genre.
I've watched quite a bit of L&O, and sat through a few episodes of CSI, but I've found them both boring, and at times, can really drag you down with the gritty realism, the dark crimes and hard lessons learned. It's why I don't often watch these shows; they get rather depressing. Don't make the mistake of thinking NCIS lacks these things. A horrible crime has taken place, and you can bet money it's going to be resolved, and rarely does the perp go unpunished. As the leading man, Mark Harmon as Gibbs is great. Gibbs isn't a nice guy, but he's 100% behind his team and is the best at what he does. When he assures a victim's family he's going to get justice, you can believe it's not false hope.
Gibbs is just one example of the unique characters who blend the serious with the little things that give you a chuckle. Don't think that just because a character like Tony comes off as brash, immature, and a little girl crazy that he's not going to take his job seriously. A few lines of witty banter and the occasional smack on the back of the head doesn't detract from a serious story line. Rather it helps the ... Read More
