    Am a huge fan of the show and have been watching NCIS since it first aired 7 years ago. Am also a member of the NCIS fan club and exchange comments w/ other members. NCIS Los Angeles is terrific, very different and well worth watching.

    I really like the new show NCIS: Los Angeles, I have only watched 2 episodes of the original and didn’t like it.

    I’m glad its doing well there is so much crap on tv now a days that its hard to find a good show.

    Guess its by design, that I as someone older think the Los Angeles version is rubbish.

    Liking NCIS…..the “Power Down” scene with the mimeograph was actually a water-cooler moment at my work….How old were you when you remember using a mimeograph machine : ) Funny.

    I liked the NCIS episode myself. Loved how they incoprated the power outage in the end of the title sequence.

  9. I think NCIS has been the best show on television for many years. I am a member of the fan clubs and it is heart warming to see the show it it’s just do in the ratings. Keep it up NCIS and Mark Harmon.
