About the Show
NCIS, also known as NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is an American police procedural drama television series revolving around a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. NCIS conducts criminal investigations 
involving the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
The concept and characters were introduced in a two-part episode of the CBS series JAG (Judge Advocate General). The show is a spin-off from JAG. NCIS premiered on September 23, 2003 on CBS and, to date, has aired seven full seasons. It has also gone into syndicated reruns around the world.
NCIS was referred to as Navy NCIS during Season 1. However, "Navy" was later dropped from the title. NCIS returned for a seventh season on September 22, 2009 (United States) and was followed by its spin-off series NCIS: Los Angeles. On May 19, 2010, CBS renewed NCIS for an eighth season which is to begin in September of 2010.
The show NCIS follows a fictional Major Case Response Team (MCRT) of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Focusing on special agents headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C.
NCIS is the primary law enforcement and counter-intelligence arm of the United States Department of the Navy this includes the United States Marine Corps. The NCIS team investigates all major criminal offenses. The MCRT is frequently assigned to high profile cases such as the death of the U.S. president's military aide, a bomb situation on a U.S. Navy warship, the death of a celebrity on a reality show set on a USMC (United States Marine Corps) base, terrorist threats, and kidnappings.
The MCRT is led by Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs’ team is composed of Special Agent and Senior Field Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Probationary Special Agent (formerly Mossad liaison officer) Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), who replaced Caitlin "Kate" Todd (Sasha Alexander) when she was shot by Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin) at the end of season two. Ari was then killed by his half-sister Ziva at the beginning of season three.
The team is helped with their investigations by Chief Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), Medical Assistant Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen), and Forensic Specialist Abigail "Abby" Sciuto (Pauley Perrette).
It has been revealed through flashbacks that the 'original' head of the MCRT was Special Agent Mike Franks, who headed the unit when it was part of NIS (Naval Investigative Service). He hired Gibbs shortly after Gibbs' retirement from the Marine Corps, eventually retiring himself some years later. After Franks departure, Gibbs recruited DiNozzo from the Baltimore Police Department's Homicide Section. The two were briefly joined by Vivian Blackadder, whom Gibbs recruited from the FBI. In the second part of the NCIS pilot, Blackadder allowed her emotions to nearly derail an anti-terror operation in Spain. Gibbs is noticeably disappointed, Blackadder is not present in the series' first regular episode.
McGee first appears as a Field Agent assigned to the Norfolk Field Office. He uses his computer skills to aid the MCRT in subsequent investigations. He is officially promoted with his own desk at the Navy Yard in the beginning of the second season. NCIS is currently led by Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll). The first director seen in the series, Thomas Morrow (Alan Dale), left after being promoted to Deputy Director of DHS (Department of Homeland Security). Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) was appointed director after Morrow she was subsequently killed in a shootout at the end of the fifth season, thus making Vance the director of the entire organization.
