What do you think? Do you like the NCIS TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a tenth season?

I love NCIS! I own all 8 seasons on DVD and I hope to buy the 9th one when it comes out! I have watched and rewatched the episodes from seasons 1-8 and I never get tired of them! It has a wonderful cast and as long as they stay together the show will continue for years! Do not cancel! RENEW!!!!!!!
I LOVE DINOZZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best of all the rest. Only well written show on Tv.Must keep entire cast together. Like family.
NCIS one of the best series ever! Love it, wont miss it. We all are waiting for more seasons.
Congrats NCIS for your 200 episode, hope to be celebrating the 300 too.
Unless Mark Harmon says no it’s gonna go on to be the next Law & order. Getting this big ratings in the 9th season? Yeah, I think it’s gonna be on for quite a few more years.
Jeremy I agree with you!
I just absolutely love Mark Harmon and NCIS [ not NCIS – Los Angeles, which we can all do without]. I have been watching Mark Harmon from his early days as a TV doctor. There is something very special about NCIS and make every effort to catch it whenever I can….they can do without that lustful director, Jenny Shepherd. She turns me off and am annoyed every time I watch a series with her in it….Please do not cancel NCIS…give it a 10th season. Love Dinozzo and his funny antics.
All time best series! Pls do not cancel!
It’s a no brainer! NCIS is one of if not the best show ever televised. It’s taken some time to tweak it, but it’s running on all eight cylinders now and cancelling it would be shear stupidity!
NCIS Should not be cancelled!!!! This is a great program and this family enjoys watching it along with many more families I’m sure. This show has a great cast and again this is a show you could see episodes over and over again. Abby is fun to watch and Ducky is fun as well. He has lots of stories to tell.
This show would really be missed. Please do not cancel!!
I have yet found a show that I will watch with loyalty the way I watch NCIS. I have never watched a show that I could talk about with anyone…..and I do mean anyone and they know which episode I was talking about. I was picking up a magazine with Mark Harmon on the cover and 2 ladies standing in line saw it in my hand then ran back to the magazines to pick up the copy. Tell me who else garners that kind of love. You don’t get that kind of following from a mediocre show. They have a… Read more »
Which magazine? I would love to pick it up as well.
Keep this show. It is a great piece of entertainment. Cancel all reality shows because they are a waste of time and they suck.
It is a very good show and as long as they can keep the cast together it will keep working because everything clicks. It only stops working when they start to screw with the click
There are only a few shows that I really look forward to viewing each week, this is #1. Great cast,great interaction, good stories and all around best show on tv for me!
Renew without question!! It’s still the best of its kind suffused with excellent writing, acting performances (I still wonder why not a SINGLE Emmy nomination to date, that I’m aware of), humor, mystery and all-around excellence. Last night’s episode with guest Lily Tomlin was as great as ever!!
NCIS with Mark Harmon and TV Group……STILL A FANTASTIC, ENGROSSING, WELL WRITTEN AND WELL ACTED. KEEP IT GOING. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST, IF NOT THE BEST IN ITS GENRE.
I am so glad that there are shows like NCIS where the Nielsen families enjoy the show as much as I do. While I will probably lose a couple shows that I love like Fringe this year, at least I will have the NCIS franchise to enjoy for some years to come.
Couldn’t have said it better, but if Fringe does go I will still be devastated.
