"NCIS" Spinoff

The show "NCIS" is like the little engine that could.  It's one of the few shows that has actually gained viewers as the years have gone by.  It was in 26th place during the first season on the air; in season six, it's ranking is five.  And considering that the show goes up against "American Idol" many times in the spring, that's pretty impressive.  

What you may not know is that "NCIS" is actually a spinoff.  It was introduced as part of an episode of "JAG," the naval trial show that was on CBS for several years.  Now "NCIS" is prepared to have a spinoff of its own.  

The working tiOdonnellllcoolj_ltle for the show is "NCIS: Legend."  Details are slim to find but we do know a couple of the stars involved.  The two biggest names are Chris O'Donnell (he played Robin in one of the Batman movies) and rapper LL Cool J, who has a decent resume of acting roles.     

O'Donnell and LL were the first actors to climb aboard the high profile project, but it looks like the other supporting roles have been filled out as well. The new team will be introduced in an episode of "NCIS" that will air later this season.  The new show will start up in the fall. before being launched into their own show next fall.

So what do you think?  Will another "NCIS" take away from the original or will it get along just fine like the three versions of "CSI:" do?

ncis is only as good as their characters. the original cast makes the show so appealing. otherwise, it will be like any other crime solving show. I do not think the new show will take anything away from the original but i do not think it will be as good as the original. love tony, ziva,gibbs,abbey,and ducky.

NCIS is the best show on TV. I am hoping the spinoff will be just as good. I will give it a shot.

I watch current NCIS daily on USA and I could watch marathons of it everyday I like all the characters not just one. They make it good. I hope they do not split shows with characters from the original.
