I became interested in the NCIS franchise midway through NCIS.
I went to our local library and started watching from the beginning and
saw them adding cast and losing others. I was blown away by the way some
left (Kate). I started watching NCIS:LA when it debuted but stopped
shortly after. The tie-in from the original and the length they made the
relationships seemed phony to me.
But when NOLA hit the screen, I was all in.
The city, the music, the atmosphere..
But it was tough to watch. Right off the top, they had staffing
problems. Just when you started thinking "Okay, this is the team", it
wasn't.
I still watch both versions. I'm lucky to live in a part of Canada that
has access to almost daily repeats of all the shows. Every once in a
while, they will broadcast the original NCIS aboard Air Force One and it
reminds me how fortunate they are that Dr. Mallard has lived this long.
just a fan's memories. Carry on.
