"it's interesting to say that NCIS is the show that shouldn't have been. I watched JAG and was a huge fan - same with NCIS. I guess I'm not understanding why it would annoy 'big stars' of Hollywood - CSI was a big hit, still doesn't do bad, but it's had 2 spinoffs, both successful as well. So I'm not sure how it can annoy anyone - talented actors, good storylines, with an occasional 'eh' episode.

I'm also wondering if some..."

"Personally I like how the writers are handling Tiva. I love the tease..the off and on friendship.( I have know in real life of a couple of relationships that started out this way.) The Tiva relationship just indicates to me, that neither side is ready for a permanent one. I don't think the writers want it to go one way or the other. I don't feel that this will be part of the reason as to why NCIS hasn't received any wards either. Some members have suggested "military" as part of the reason, but I am unsure of that. I don't find the writers have stagnated myself, I have found the variety of storylines great. Some of our writers have won awards, Shane Brennan won one just last year. We have Jesse Stern who is a gem, awards or not. I loved Truth and Consequence..a few flaws there, but ones imagination of what and why something came about can be easily accepted. I am not one to nit pick about some details. They have only about 42 minutes to play out the whole episode of any story. I though Dennis Smith the director did a great job. I loved their return to ncis in the elevator scenes. No award for this writer for this episode?..oh, well, I could careless, I was happy and enjoyed it. To me, NCIS as a whole is far better than any other television show, who also have as many, or a lot more flaws in their episodes.
Awards won or not..I'm here for the duration.

".Michael saying that the relationship time has gone kind of passed says it all to me...but this is just how I see it."

"I think the show has annoyed the 'big stars' of Hollywood - it's the show that in their minds should never have been a hit. It was a spin off of a moderately successful show. JAG lasted 10 years, but it was a slow burn, had a modest increase in viewers before falling away towards the last few seasons. It was also much more markedly militaristic which (wrongly) would have put off some viewers.
