Trivia:

Gibbs joined NCIS because of the death of his wife and daughter.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the episode "Hiatus Part 2" it is revealed that Gibbs joined NIS (changed the same year to NCIS) in 1992 following the death of his wife and daughter. However, in the JAG episode "Ice Queen" in 2003 he tells Lt.Cmdr. Rabb that he has been an agent for 19 years, which would mean he would have joined NIS in 1984.

Quotes:

[repeated line]
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [making fun of Gibbs to a co-worker, who doesn't respond] He's standing right behind me, isn't he.

Great New Series on TV this season+

This is a great series to watch. I have been hooked on this show since the beginning because I love watching mysteries and crime like CSI and CSI Miami. Harmon's so sexy in this role and McCallum is always a joy to watch as Ducky especially when he's on the role over various anthropology lectures which to my amusement everyone on that shows roll up their eyeballs.
