[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for NCIS Season 21 Episode 7 “A Thousand Yards.”] For a milestone as major as the franchise’s 1,000th episode, NCIS pulls out all the stops, from guest stars (LA‘s Daniela Ruah as Kensi! Hawai’i‘s Vanessa Lachey as Jane! Joe Spano as Fornell!) to Easter eggs (like connections in the case to dead characters like Tom Morrow and Kate Todd and it all linking back to the mothership’s very first investigation). It also starts off by putting one of the agency’s own in the hospital. While visiting his late wife’s grave and then having an awkward, tense conversation with his son, Jared (Spence Moore II), Director Vance (Rocky Carroll) is shot by a sniper. While Carroll, speaking with TV Insider for our weekly aftershow, NCIS: Case Closed, never worried about being killed off, he does recall of the initial conversation he had with the episode’s writer,...

Rule No. 5: You don’t waste good. And there is a lot of good stuff to be enjoyed as NCIS marks its 20th anniversary this month.
On Monday, Sept. 25, CBS is officially celebrating “NCIS Day” — exactly 20 years (…plus two days) after the Jag spinoff made its broadcast debut. The well-watched NCIS mothership has aired 459 episodes to date, and with all offshoots (including NCIS: Sydney) combined, the franchise will reach a milestone 1,000th episode (!) during NCIS’ 21st season (premiere date Tbd). If there is a giant “1,000” cake, I demand a slice.

NCIS has graced our television screens for the last 20 years. The show first premiered in 2003, and it followed Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs as he and his team, Naval Criminal Investigative Services, solved high-profile crimes connected to the Navy or Marines. Now, 20 years later, where is the season 1 cast today?

Mark Harmon was the NCIS lead, playing Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Harmon worked his way up the ranks on the show’s back end, eventually becoming its executive producer in 2008, just five years after it started. Harmon left the show, though, during its 19th season in 2021.
These days, nobody is aware of Harmon’s next move except him. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that he signed with a new production agency, so it seems that he’s still interested in acting. But he has racked up a $120 million...

Special Agents Anthony Dinozzo and Kate Todd are together again … sort of. Sasha Alexander, who played Kate for the first two seasons of NCIS, shared photos from the set of CBS’ Bull, starring Michael Weatherly, who played Tony until he left at the end of Season 13. “Reunited with this one…,” she wrote alongside a photo of the two of them sitting on a bed on Twitter. (She wrote a slightly different message alongside the photo on Instagram: “Reunited and it feels sooo goood.”) Reunited with this one… #michaelweatherly @BullCBS pic.twitter.com/yB4dDOSgHA — Sasha Alexander (@sashaalexander) March 18, 2022 Alexander then shared another photo, revealing that she’s directing an upcoming episode of the legal drama.

On Saturday, Donald Trump formally nominated Amy Coney Barrett to take the place of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the Supreme Court.
Barrett is a conservative 7th Circuit appeals judge from Indiana who has been a federal judge for three years. Early in her career she also served on George W. Bush’s legal team in the Bush v. Gore decision that handed the presidency to Bush despite his popular vote loss in 2000.
In his announcement Saturday, Trump described Barrett as a “towering intellect” who had “unyielding loyalty to the Constitution.”
In a statement released shortly after Barrett’s nomination was announced, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden called out the Trump administration’s ongoing effort to have the Affordable Care Act struck down, which would eliminate its protections for people with preexisting conditions. “Today, President Trump has nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett as the successor to Justice Ginsburg’s seat.

There are a lot of secret siblings on television.
Plenty of TV shows tend to build their foundation on common tropes such as the cringe-worthy love triangle trope and the long lost sibling trope.
If you need to stir up some drama, especially in a campy teen series, there's no better way than by bringing in a secret sibling that's jealous, scorned, vengeful, broken, betrayed, looking for a family, or all of the above.
Some secret siblings are introduced in a sensical way with the serious laying some breadcrumbs leading up to the introduction.
Other reveals come out of left field and frustrate audiences by appearing as mere plot devices thrown in for the sake of it.
And sometimes, the trope works well as the secret siblings become pivotal to the storyline and the main character's development.

NCIS Inks Deal With McCallum For Season 10 Despite Hints Of Departure
NCISfans can relax, as David McCallum has inked his Season 10 deal. For those viewers who watched the explosive episode, "Playing With Fire", there was concern that McCallum might not be returning.
In the breathtaking episode, McCallum's character, Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard, was focused on his will and asked Gibbs (Mark Harmon) to be executor of his estate. McCallum's re-signing of his contract means that Ducky should be sharing his wonderful stories for another season.
An integral part of the NCIS canvas since its première in 2003, McCallum is only one reason that NCIS is a ratings blockbuster, even as it goes into Season 10.
Because of its continuing success, CBS renewed NCIS in March, much sooner than many shows that still are waiting for renewal news to come in May. While it seems odd that a show that already has been...

Although Leroy Jethro Gibbs got to see how his life could have played out differently on the landmark 200th episode of NCIS, he decided he wouldn't have it any other way.
NCIS celebrates 200 episodes with an emotional "what if?" story
After being fired at while enjoying his morning cup of coffee at a diner, Gibbs (Mark Harmon) was led by the ghosts of Mike Franks (Muse Watson), Riley McCallister (Michael O'Neill) and Gibbs' wife Shannon (Darby Stanchfield) to some of the defining moments of Gibbs' life and the series. What if Gibbs had stopped a sniper from killing agent Kate Todd (Sasha Alexander)? What if Gibbs hadn't killed the man who murdered his family? And what if Gibbs hadn't been an NCIS agent at all?
In the end, truth was better than fiction for Gibbs. We chatted with executive producer Gary Glasberg about creating this one-of-a-kind hour...

CBS' deeply reliable navy police procedural NCIS is showing no signs of slowing down deep in its ninth season, hitting its 200th episode landmark Tuesday with an hour that entertains the "what if" idea. What if special agent Kate Todd hadn't been killed with a bullet to the head at the end of season 2? What if Ziva was only a culprit-of-the-week? Those questions and more will be answered in "Life Before His Eyes," written by Gary Glasberg and directed by Tony Wharmby, proving that reaching 200 episodes is a testament to the show's ability to

NCIS Reveals the Nature of the Beast
NCIS‘s ninth season begins with Kate Todd’s psychiatrist sister, Rachel (Wendy Makkena), arriving at the hospital on Gibbs’s report an NCIS agent has been shot. She goes in to see that it’s Dinozzo, who seems relatively fine, except, as a result of the attempt on his life, he suffered a concussion and couldn’t remember the details of his special assignment from new SecNav, Clay Jarvis (Matt Craven).
Over the summer, I came to question whether NCIS could genuinely keep things fresh going into Season 9. The structure of the premiere was similar to the Season 7 premiere, in which the team rescued Ziva from a terrorist camp. Flashbacks filled in the story time between late May and September, revealing more of Tony’s mission as they went along. I don’t mean the episodes compare too closely, but longtime fans...

Blasts from the past will be dredged up on the February 8 episode of NCIS.
The clip-heavy 14th episode of the season revolves around the stressed out agents being forced into therapy with a clinical psychologist to try to lessen their angst.
During their individual sessions, Gibbs and his subordinates back to some of their most emotionally taxing cases. Atop the list, obviously, will be Kate Todd's death.
The demise of Sasha Alexander's character remains one of the show's most shocking story lines in seven-plus seasons. Heck, the re-run on USA is still shocking.
We don't Think this is the same episode that features Dinozzo-centric flashbacks.
This one will feature old clips, including some of Kate, rather than new scenes set in the past, like we saw in last fall's terrific Vance-Eli David double episode.
