Harmon kicked out Bellisario in 2007 and took over the show, gelded McGee and DiNozzo, and then killed off or kicked out the Jews.
(I don’t care what the press releases say about Cote de Pablo).
Then he brought in the inept Bishop, who was responsible for agents’ deaths in her first appearance. THAT was the last episode I watched, well before Weatherly’s departure.

Missed all that. Have to read more. Never liked Bishop. Every episode with her was a slog. When I go back, I usually want to watch Cote de Pablo, and the earlier female agents. They were all great and I miss all of them.
very tired, what season would that change have started?
