1. I've worked with actual NIS agents, and they're about as exciting as undertakers. 2. None of them looked like Ziva. Or even Abby. Although I do remember one guy who sort of reminded me of McGee. 3. Anyone not in the Navy who was informed an agent is with NCIS would respond with "what the hell is NCIS?" 4. Norfolk is 150 miles from Washington DC, and cannot be reached from Washington in the few minutes implied in the show. 5. The Norfolk Naval Base, as the largest naval installation in the world, has lots of its own NCIS agents, and would not need to call in Gibbs and his crew from DC every time somebody got whacked. I also like Vegas. |

No. Just personality.
I mean...I don't blame them...not a hater. They make a lot of money off shitty cookie cutter TV programming that draw in old people. It is all good...not everything has to be edgy but lets just call it what it is. |

As far as being accurate to Naval reality, well, I have to be honest and say I don't particularly care. I don't watch it for that, any more than I watch The Following for insight on the mind of a serial killer, or the X-Files because I wanted to know about FBI procedure when hunting bigfoot. I watch shows because they have interesting plots, have characters that I come to care about, or, in the best (and unfortunately rarest) cases, both. In the case of NCIS it's definitely the characters. It's not a high concept show by any means. It's definitely an entertaining one though. I like Vegas a lot. I'm pretty convinced it's about to get shit-canned, unfortunately. |

I personally find all four of those shows equally atrocious.

(Unless things get so utterly reeruned that it violates my own very loose suspension of disbelief - which is what watching NCIS LA is like...) |

CBS made up for their lack of profit with the power outage. More commercial time!!!
