I saw a link on CNN about "shocker" on NCIS, and it led to dire hints about Tony and Ziva, and mentioned a spinoff, which I'd heard vague rumors of and came here to enquire of those hipper to entertainment news than I.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Wasn't LL in Toys? If that was him, I was pleased. Points to whomever gets the reference: "That's a hard pattern to match."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
NCIS was a "spinoff" of JAG, which meant they had one or two backdoor pilots that aired on JAG.

I never watched JAG. Was it as good as NCIS, ie, funny, the characters like each other as friends as opposed to potential bed mates, etc.?

I really liked JAG. It's basically a courtroom drama in uniform. It's Bellasario, so it's relatively true to military life and jargon. And it had it's share of funny writing, comic relief. I felt they focused a little too much on the semi-romantic relationship between the two main protagonists towards then end and it nearly ruined the last season in my mind. Still, I watched pretty faithfully, until I discovered Buffy and it couldn't compete with my new love for that TV time slot.

I still miss the Tony-Kate interaction, which was more siblings than potential lovers.

From what I have heard the NCIS spin off is going to be a whole new team.

If it doesn't have Gibbs, I'm not watching. Or Abby. Or Ducky. Yeah, even Tony and Ziva can be there.
Still, I'll check it out. I like Chris O'Donnell, he's turned into a very good actor. I don't even think of him as Robin anymore.
