We all agree that NCIS is fantastic. I hope others are liking NCIS Los Angeles as much as I am. And I actually watched the Good Wife Tuesday and it is a fairly decent and entertaining show. The other networks can't even compete. The only thing stopping a CBS year round power night is American Idol. It appears NCIS is staying steady in viewership and LA is growing. This season is amazing so far and I don't see any reason for the remaining to episodes to be crap. Lets hope America will pull through and stop watching American Idol, there are better reality shows out there anyways.
