For the first time in NCIS’ very long history on CBS, Michael Weatherly isn’t part of the cast. Will this negatively impact the ratings for the network’s most-watched TV series? With such high ratings, the show wouldn’t be in danger of being cancelled and CBS has already renewed the show for season 15. Still, it’s fun to watch the ratings. Stay tuned.
On NCIS, Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and his team of special agents continue to investigate crimes that involve the US Navy and Marine Corps. The rest of the season 14 cast includes Brian Dietzen, David McCallum, Emily Wickersham, Pauley Perrette, Rocky Carroll, Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, Jennifer Esposito, and Duane Henry.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/10 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The 13th season of NCIS averaged a 2.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 16.61 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the NCIS TV series? Do you think it should have already been renewed for season 15 on CBS?
I loved NCIS, but after Tony left, I can’t make myself watch it. He was one of the reasons why the show was so good. His jokes and chemistry between him and others from Gibbs’s team was what made this show entertaining. And when we found out he has a daughter, I was thrilled by all those new scenarios and possibilities this would bring to the show, like Tony raising her, team helping him, dealing with troubles which comes with raising a kid, new relationships emerging (I was hoping for Tony and Ellie to get together so he can finaly… Read more »
I think the show is still great. The new characters keep the show interesting. This is one show on tv that I’m not embarrassed to have my kids watch with me.
Never want it to end ***
I still love NCIS…it has its ups and downs but for the most part it’s still one of the best shows on television.
I think as long as Mark Harmon continues to play Gibbs the show should keep going.
Mark Harmon is the glue of the show.
Only when he leaves or retires from the show should NCIS call it quits, until then let’s get renewed for seasons 16 and 17.
i agree..Mark Harmon character is a great reason for shows success…would like to see more of Mark Harmon as Gibbs physically active again..and more on the screen..also Abby and the Doc and more of Esposito..(jen)
wow, the ratings just keep dropping on this show, time to hang it up folks
every Tuesday i go have dinner at my parent’s house and we finish right before ncis stats; I’ve been working in the grocery business since i was 16 and worked many evenings so i didn’t get much time to spend with my parent’s watching tv or having family dinners with them my mom loves the show and love it that I’m able to spend the time with my parent’s gibbs cool dude imagine how busy his grocery store would be if he were store manager!! haha
I love watching NCIS and BULL. Please RENEW…..So many shows are disappearing. My husband and I watch every week and even watch the reruns. They are part of the Family….
Renew ncis and bull. Great programs!!
One of the few shows that I looked forward to seeing every week, but this year after the first couple of episodes forget it. The new characters have no chemistry and their humor falls flat. Just doesn’t feel like a good fit. Storylines are blah and have you noticed that Gibbs is ceding his role little by little by having others go down to the lab and ask Abbey, ‘What you got Abs?’. Just doesn’t sound right when others do it. Maybe they’re trying to lessen his role to eventually take over Director spot, but the day they do that… Read more »
Best show on TV then rest of NCIS’s deriva!tives, Bull and Blue Bloods, Code Black and Scorpion
Yes but Bishop doesn’t fit she has hurt the show in my opinion. Some people I’ve spoken to say it’s becauseof her they don’t watch anymore. Gibbs needs to shake things up with his love life, people will watch that!!!
The writing this season is lame. The character Alex is corny. The actors could work if the writing would improve. Sad. I’ve followed this series for 14 years. Getting discouraged.
The show need a woman that’s strong. The anslyzer belongs in the office (Ellie) The other woman don’t do anything for the show. Replace them with Katrina Low that played in Training Day. She’s more like Zeva that can do her own fighting. I missTony but the other guy that looks Hispanic is coming along just fine. He’s good looking and kind of reminds me of Tony. I still watch it but it needs something. I love Gibbs, Tim, Abby, Doc & Jimmy. Ellie & the other woman just don’t have it. You’re getting too many characters just to booze… Read more »
Not fond of Bishop but still love the show
I think the show is terrible since Denoso left. I don’t watch it anymore
I love Ncis I hope that it continues, it’s a shame we’ve lost so many good actor’s and actresses but the show impresses me alot I’m looking foward to the rest of season 14 and hopefully a brand new season 15
I do not think the show is anything like it use to be or should be. I am not a fan of Michael wetherbys new program and feel he should go back to NCIS. I feel the acting is terrible–very fake and the characters don’t add anything to the show. The story line needs to get back to the exciting times when Tony and Ziva were on the show. I have always recorded and viewed the new episodes, but after the last show with Abby and the fake bomb….well, it was awful and I love Abby. Get your old writers… Read more »
