Remembering NCIS on it's 20th anniversary+ the news of the day- Sept 23

 

20 years ago, the very 1st NCIS episode 1st aired. Little did most know, that despite a poorly reviewed and rated 1st Season, it would become a worldwide hit in a few years. And would later go on to become CBS's top rated show for many years, become a worldwide syndicated hit, and would span 4 spin offs (so far anyways, Fingers crossed for an eventual prequel!), and the main show is still going!! And the overall episode count for the whole franchise is going to hit 1,000 next year during the 21st Season!

I've been involved with the franchise since 2014. At first it was just LA, but then I later started loving the main show, then there was New Orleans, and Hawaii was a huge disappointment.

I've had my ups and downs with these shows over the years, mainly political wise. But thankfully, the main show's writers and producers can still see that the main core audience for the main show is still mostly conservatives, so it keeps them from really going all in on the woke crap. Hopefully that stays true in Season 21.

And the best part: This franchise is still so much better then any one of Dick Wolf's stupid, overly political franchises!!

Here's to this amazing franchise continuing for many years to come (and hopefully spanning a Hetty prequel!). 🍷🥳 And don't miss CBS's 3 hour marathon on Monday!

And now on to the news of the day. (yeah, I decided to save time and posting by just lumping this in with my daily report.) (and tonight may just be the night that the writers and studios make their deal!)
