POLL : Why did you start watching NCIS?

3 Feb 2011

Share on Reddit
As the show recently had a boom in the ratings, I was just wondering why did everyone simply decided to watch NCIS in the first place. Of course there were millions of fans before, but we all agree that there's a huge percentage of the viewers who started watching the show from late seasons on, right? Of course I couldn't cover all the answers in this poll, but you can all share with us what made you tune in on CBS on Tuesdays nights in the comments section.





C'mon, can't you see the similarities?

    I watched because it was a new pilot and I try to check out most if not all new series and see if I like them. I quit when it got repetitive like almost all procedurals do after 4 or 5 years.....

    Reruns on USA. They air them ALL THE TIME. I finally gave it a shot one day, and I ended up watching about 5 hours in a row.

    I keep watching it for the characters. They make the show.

    NCIS is better than most, but to me all procedurals are. Crime happens, they suspect some one... facts lead to some one else, and the criminal is one of the people they met along the way. The End. Rinse and repeat.

    i didn't get to watch it because I had a whole slew of night classes in its first two years so I missed it. I accidentally watched the Season 2 finale by myself, where Kate was killed, and after that I was hooked.

    Loyal JAG fan here. Saw the entire series including the 2-episode "pilot" of NCIS, and was hooked immediately. Been following both NCIS and NCIS:LA diligently ever since.

    Yeah Criminal minds has kept my interest too. In fact I have gotten more interested in it the last month or two with Rachel Nichols joining. But I'm a sucker for psychological killer drama. I never watched Medium, but that was due to me just watching David Lynch's Lost Highway when the pilot came out and I had a bad taste in my mouth for anything connected to it.....

    that's why it's called "procedural", I guess.

  20. Ana Flavia Silva3 February 2011 at 19:17

    yeah, hi5, fellow JAG fan! I wish some more JAG characters would show up on NCIS nowadays... But sseing "Sturgis" playing a different character (future episode) probably means they really don't want to do that. =/

    yeah, it happened to me several times too, but with other shows. Very often I became more addicted to those tv shows than my parents!

  23. darq3 February 2011 at 19:23

    HAHAH! yeah, I guess so :) Most people love them or prefer them... I am just one of those that likes serials more. The great thing about them is you can not watch a series for months or years nd tune in and 99% of the time still enjoy the episode without being confused at all.

    Yeah, I like Rachel Nichols too, the beginnning of the season wasn't the best one, but recently, it's been really good. Medium was good, not the most amazing program ever, but Patricia Arquette can really act, I quite like it, but I watch like 50 tv shows, so watching everything is my thing :L

    I started watching it because of my best friend, we addict each other to different shows all the time, so now I have seen all season 7 and 8 eps right after (on wednesday, time zones) and have seen also almost all the other episodes except from season 6.

    Hooked since almost two years now :D

    My (future) mother in law told me she thought it was something I'd be interested in, so I started watching it and it was love at first sight. I've been a loyal fan for 8 years now & plan on being it for another 8 & longer. =] <3 <3

  32. Jenna Scott3 February 2011 at 20:59

    That's the main reason I watch the show... it's character driven! <3 Of course it does help to have amazingly gorgeous & sweet actors/actresses, as well as wonderful writers who love the fans (Jesse Stern, Reid Steinback & Gary Glasburg are among my fav writers) and the whole behind the scenes help too!

    Even though I used to love JAG, I wasn't that interested in it when it premiered. I wasn't watching much TV (limited myself to 3 hours a week total). I really preferred my SciFi addictions. My dad kept insisting, so during the second half of the first season I gave it a try and I was hooked. Still am. :D

  34. mel3 February 2011 at 21:02

    Two words: Michael Weatherly ! Smoking hot , sultry green eyes and bad boy smile. But after he pulled me in, it was the great ensemble cast and humor that kept me there.

  35. GeneralRapunzel3 February 2011 at 21:03

    I think most all TV shows are procedurals in a sense. Even family comedies. There's a set script or dynamic for all of them, a formula per se. Even shows like "Modern Family", "The Big Bang Theory", or "Mad Men" (to expand into critical darlings). Perhaps cop/law/medical shows are more structured by their very nature, but I think all shows boil down to a repetitive format, it just depends on the genre and setting of the show what the format is.

    I loved Jag and I loved the episodes which introduced Gibbs. I just had to see more of Gibb's character. I have been watching NCIS from the beginning!

  38. Theresa3 February 2011 at 21:27

    Yes that is the formula it is what happens in between which is interesting. How they find the clues to solving is also compelling. The relationships formed on the show between the agents and the people the come into contact during the investigations is also very compelling television.

    My friends in the Navy made me watch two episodes and I hated it. I had just gotten out of a bad work situation and Gibbs annoyed me to no end. Later, I was watching Burn Notice on USA and NCIS came on after. I thought it was okay and occasionally saw it on USA some more. However, it was the episode where Abby has a stalker that turned me into a NCIS fan. She humanized Gibbs for me. From then on it was USA marathons and DVD's. Abby's still my favorite character.

    you know, I used to not pay attention to frigging credits, so it took me a few years (!) to know that Cote wasn't an israeli actress or even American. LOL but I liked her character. Her maybe-lesbian atittude was weird, but it was good to seen Tony embarassed for once. HAHA

    Reruns. Caught a rerun early Season 2 and have been watching with the fam ever since. Which is really weird because most of my favorite shows I've initially started through reruns (Supernatural, summer after season 1; House, season 3; Charmed, season 1, etc.)

    It was after a TV show i followed (don't remember what since it was too long ago) and since i had way too much spare time and was too lazy to turn off the tv, i ended up watching it. Before i knew it, i not only followed it's lead in but NCIS as well. NCIS and I now have a long and pleasant history together.

    My grandparents watched NCIS regularly and I would always see them watching it, but was never really interested. I walked in from dance class one night and it happened to be the night that Ziva first made an appearance on the show and I LOVED her attitude and how tough she was while still being able to show emotion. I was completely hooked and I have watched every single episode since. I own all the DVD's now and I plan on continuing to watch.

    The older ladies at work all watched it and I had seen my parents watching it but since USA paired it up with Law and Order I really had no desire to watch it because I didnt like Law n Order and assumed it would be the same. But the ladies at work insisted so I sat down and watched it and have been watching it ever since.
