Leroy Gibbs and his team are back for another season of NCIS and big ratings for CBS. It’s hard to imagine that this TV show will ever be cancelled but it has to happen sometime, doesn’t it? Keep watching!
The 10th season of NCIS typically airs on Tuesday nights at 8pm on the CBS network. The cast includes Mark Harmon, Brian Dietzen, Cote de Pablo, David McCallum, Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette, Rocky Carroll, and Sean Murray.
Below are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if NCIS is going to be cancelled or renewed for season 11 (though cancellation certainly seems incredibly unlikely).

Year to year, NCIS was down by 5% in the demo and up by 3% in viewership. I seriously doubt anyone at CBS is complaining about these numbers.
Reference point: The ninth season of NCIS averaged a 3.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 19.22 million viewers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the NCIS TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for an eleventh season?
Yes I am as sure they will renew NCIS next year as we will get snow in Mich. If they let Ziva go I am not so sure about the long term., I for one will be heart broken if Ziva does not come back..I understand she has not signed a contract so I am certain she is on the way out.. It will be hard for me to watch ifZiva does not come back.. I love the chemistry between her and Tony.. She has not signed contract yet, already talking about end of season means no Ziva next year..
Please for the love of all that is holy, renew this show until the actors want to stop making it. Also, for the last season allow these fantastic actors to shoot a proper goodbye episode, preferably a two part episode. Fans of quality television adore this show!
Please keep the season going. My husband and I sit here and watch it every Tuesday night we have even been collecting the seasons as they come out. We don’t watch anything else besides that and make sure we don’t miss an episode. I love the whole cast. Keep going to season 11!!!!
my mom is in love with gibbs! She will never again watch tv if this show is ever cancelled!
NCIS has been an amazing show on primetime the past few seasons I’ve watched and it’s something both the wife and I enjoy. I record NCIS using my PrimeTime Anytime feature in my DISH Hopper DVR and it will record the major networks during primetime hours on one TV. I used to have a difficult time with my annoying timers because I work nights at DISH. I no longer have to pick and choose shows since I upgraded and it’s enhanced my TV experience. I’ve been able to watch new shows I never knew about and keep things simple.
NCIS is the best progam on the CBS Network. I watch it every Tuesday, and the repeat episodes are on the USA Network. I an a bit fan of Tim McGee. Hope it will not ever be canceled. I look forward every Tuesday to watch it.
I’m a huge fan of Tiva(Tony and Ziva) but I also love Abby McGee and Gibbs. If they don’t renew the world is gone! lol >_<.
I love NCIS… Never missed the series and love Gibbs… Please renew for season 11… I cross my fingers for that
Hi, I am fan from Romania ( it’s in Europe, you know Trasilvania, Dracula) and i am warching this show for a long time. I hope it’s going to be an 11 season because i love it. I am in love with Mark Harmon, even if i am married to an wonderfull man. So, please keep up the good work
All the best for Mark and for the entire cast. Hope to see them in Romania one day
RENEW THIS SHOW AT ALL COSTS!!! We love this show!
Yes ncis should renew it for the 11th season the characters are awesome the stories are awesome and it doesn’t stop getting better!!!!!
Definitely renew!
Keep renewing!
Are you kidding? Renew for ever … Awesome characters, awesome writers … Although you could ditch Carroll!
carroll .. who ? lol really don’t need him in the show at all, BEST SHOW ever, glad i didnt wait till next week for the UK premiere of season 10 over here 3 months was along enough wait for me
Oh it’ll get cancelled… when Harmon decides he’s done with the show (which he’s said will probably be never), or they have to write off Ducky because McCallum died (you can’t have NCIS without Ducky… it just wouldn’t be the same…)
Until one of those two things happen, you’re right… it’ll be renewed until they’re all 6 feet under.
Renew. Renew. Renew!!!!!
Please don’t ever cancel this show!!! Only show I ever watch
