CBS is looking to expand the NCIS franchise outside the contiguous United States.
TVLine has learned that the Eye network is in the early stages of developing a new iteration of NCIS, this one set in Hawaii. This would mark CBS’ third NCIS spinoff and the fourth NCIS series overall, joining the Mark Harmon-headlined mothership, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans.
A CBS spokesperson declined to comment for this story.
Prior to the franchise’s newest entry, NCIS: New Orleans, launching in 2014, CBS was developing NCIS: Red, an offshoot centering on a mobile anti-terrorist unit dubbed the Red Team. The project — which was to star John Corbett, Kim Raver, Scott Grimes, Edwin Hodge, and Gillian Alexy — did not make it past the backdoor pilot stage.
The NCIS franchise was born via a two-part, April 2003 episode of JAG that introduced Mark Harmon’s Gibbs, Michael Weatherly’s DiNozzo, Pauley Perrette’s Abby and David McCallum’s Ducky. When JAG leads David James Elliott and Catherine Bell briefly reprised their roles as Navy Captain “Harm” Rabb Jr.and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie on NCIS:LA in 2019, there was buzz that CBS was testing the waters for a a full-fledged JAG revival.
Reacting to said scuttlebutt, NCIS: LA showrunner R. Scott Gemmill said at the time, “I never say never to anything. It’s really up to [CBS]. That’s not my call to make.”
Let’s make the new show reality like. Have NCIS investigate the following Democrats for insanity and treason.
Sen. Mizzie Miss Dizzy Hironi (D-HA)
Sen. Schatz (D-HA)
Former Gov. Abercrombie (D) if he is still alive. Otherwise, dig him up and try him anyway. Old red from the Frank Marshall Davis, Honolulu Record newspaper, the Rohrboughs, Ewart Guinier, Martin Hall and “Scope of Soviet Activity in the United States, Parts 40-41-A, hearings Sen. Internal Security Subcom, Sen. Judiciary Committee.
Two of my favorite shows during the course of my lifetime had long runs.
"Cheers," survived as long as it did, I think, for the same reason a neighborhood bar stays open. You have your stable long term characters with fresh blood rotating in and out periodically. Though both Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson have gone full libtard since the end of the show, they both portrayed very likeable characters while it was being filmed.
"The X-Files," had a good long run due to excellent writing, acting and production value, but I think it did outstay its welcome. While I liked Robert Patrick's character, the writing took a nose dive about the time David Duchovny stopped being a regular on the show.
Who is guilty, Gibbs or Dinozzo?
(I believe you stepped into the wrong thread ;^) )
5-o has been back for sometime and it stinks. Cops run trampling citizens rights is their stock and trade.
Not interested in another PC the feds can do no wrong show.
Our minorities are the still loyal and hypnotized audiences for old time TV networks and their shows. Just look at the advertising with black man with his white woman. Advertising tells you who funds the show and who the target audience is. Brilliant move. btw I have never watched any NCIS. This will be a great syndication item for the Third World and such.
Hawaii was a great and exotic setting even under Ronald Reagan with Magnum PI. And before this Hawaii 5-0. Unfortunately it seems that these days the natives and semi-natives are hooked into meth. Going by what I saw on Dog The Bounty Hunter. What a great show Dog was a while ago. Even if half of it was fake as can be. The Hawaii setting made me overlook this.
All MSM has become a leftist propaganda vehicle since the mid 60’s.
Bellisario also was responsible for QUANTUM LEAP...Scott Bakula was on the show...
By the way, Colonel Oliver North was on JAG as a special guest star...
I’d rather watch the 87th rerun of Miami Vice than one episode of NCIS. Talk about suck!
