NCIS series was first introduced during a 2 part-episode on the long-running television series "JAG" Season 8 in April 2003. In September 2003, NCIS Season 1 started. We were introduced to Senior Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his team which consists of:
- Special Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo who has been on board since day one but left in season 13.
- Special Agent Caitlin "Kate" Todd whom we saw tragically killed at the end of Season 2
- Forensic Scientist/Specialist, Abby Sciuto;
- Special Agent and novelist, Timothy McGee who was not a full-time member of the cast until Season 2.
- Chief Medical Examiner, Donald "Ducky" Mallard, whose quirks include talking to his deceased patients.
- Mossad Liaison Officer, Ziva David, joined the team in Season 3 after Kate's death.
- Assistant Medical Examiner, Gerald Jackson was by Ducky's side briefly during season 1 but after being injured in the line of duty, he was replaced by:
- Assistant Medical Examiner, Jimmy Palmer (aka Black Lung). Palmer has proven to be an interesting yet compatible partner to our beloved Ducky.
- After the death of Director Jenny Shephard, Director Leon Vance joined the team in Season 6.
- Former NSA Analyst Eleanor Bishop, joined in Season 11 with the leaving of Ziva David.
- Three newcomers arrived in season 14.
We have seen many other characters come and go for various reasons and we will see many more as each season goes by. But no matter what, we will always have Jethro and his Gibblets to keep us tuned in every Tuesday night! |
