Both of the new NCIS episodes tonight featured Muslim Marines victimized by bigoted Christian Marines (or ex-Marines). Is it mere coincidence these two plot-lines come 5-6 weeks after Ft. Hood? I can't help but wonder what an average TV drama's time-span is between the script begin written and the airing date.
Thank goodness the muslims weren’t portrayed as bigots!! /s
I cancelled TV to avoid supporting this sh*t. Idiots keep watching the NFL even though they punked Rush, fawn over Obama and employ Olberman. People are stupid to watch this crap. TV empowers the people who are working to enslave us.
Nope. NCIS has no connection with CSI as far as I know. I believe NCIS spun off from JAG, and NCIS-LA just this year is a new spinoff from NCIS.
I never understood the appear of NCIS to so many. To me it seemed rife with PC, leftist mantras (particularly contempt for rural & small town whites) and heavy-handed police tactics. Perhaps it was good some time ago and has deteriorated by the time I first watched it.
I love NCIS. I don’t watch it regularly on the TV, but I always get the DVDs so I can watch them over a weekend. It is a GREAT show!!!
Thanks, I wasn't sure. NCIS sounds sick. I am glad I did not see it. More Holly-weird revisionism.
I just lost total respect for Navy NCIS (Vanity / SPOILER ALERT)

But I just may give up on NCIS-LA before too long. They are much more PC in their scripts. So far, the only terrorist organization to appear this season was some hallucinated scriptwriter's delusion of a cross between Timothy McVeigh types and the Minutemen (the border-watching volunteers). This domestic terrorist group reveled in watching videos of themselves gunning down families of illegal immigrant women and children fleeing across the desert, and they stole a military missile with which to blow up an immigration center.
I reckon I’m just out of touch. Hell, I DVR re-runs of Gunsmoke and The Rockford Files.
Saw NCIS classic tonight and I agree - getting tired of having to hear about the wholesome ‘religion’ of Islam.
It was also poorly written with lines that those developed characters just wouldn’t say ordinarily, etc. Maybe it was a rush job to cover for Ft. Hood?
No, it’s not. It’s all, part and parcel, of the left’s hate for our Country.
We have canceled all but basic cable, and that, only because that’s out internet. Between Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and TvPc, we’re doing just fine.
I lost all respect for NCIS tonight.
Is tonight's episode a fallout from the recent rumored change in scriptwriters?
I've witnessed a number of Jump The Shark moments in my lifetime, but choosing to alienate your conservative viewers - who I suspect might be a majority of your most loyal viewers - in an attempt to bring more liberals into your audience, (assuming that's what you're doing, consciously or unconsciously), would have to go down in Hollywood History as one of its worst management decisions ever.
And as for NCIS-LA: Tonight's episode in combo with the militia one has forced me to throw in the towel on this series. Not even the good Abby guest episode can change my mind now.
It pains me to see you do this to these series. Perhaps someday with more hindsight, it will pain you to realize what you did to yourselves.
Yup, that's it. Tonight was my last NCIS-LA viewing.
Unlax, folks. This episode would have been taped weeks before Ft. Hood. The first air date for the first episode in the season of a show is taped in the late spring or early summer. About twelve weeks or so. By the way, some of this comes across to me as whining. Maybe it would be a good thing to take positive action on matters rather whine. Let's the members of the Democrat Party whine. Let's just concentrate on winning.
On the bright side, we can at least, by choosing never to watch PC-overdosed episodes online, be much more accurate in our targeting of good shows vs. bad shows. As opposed to cable networks, where you must buy a big bundle of channels together, forcing you to pay for the bad shows as well as the good ones.
Months and months. There's no way that this was written after Ft. Hood and aired already. Most one hour dramas start filming in the spring/early summer. Since we're roughly 1/2 through the season, this was probably written over the summer and shot sometime in August or early September.
Ironic. Because a statement like that, not followed up with any suggestions as to what "positive action" might be, in itself smacks of whining.
OTOH, I see the reactions of people on this and similar threads tonight as being "positive action," if only in some small way. For instance, multiple readers have registered their comments with CBS. Calling CBS's attention to widespread dissatisfaction, if combined with other similar feedback from other quarters, could possibly lead to constructive changes. Not probably, but at least possibly.
Also, when people change their viewing habits after reading reviews on sites like FR, that certainly can't hurt the cause.
And especially with new movies, I've noticed an increase in emails from conservative friends & relatives warning of overly-PC-propagandizing movies when they're just being released (case in point: Avatar).
I see boycotts in general as "positive action" rather than "whining, not winning!"
Yeah, I think you’re right. But you have to admit that did seem like a pretty big coincidence to have two episodes on the same night with “Reversed Fort Hood” themes, six weeks after the massacre.
