Though The Big Bang Theory remains one of television’s highest-rated series, it’s been announced that this will be the show’s final season. Could this also be the end for NCIS, CBS’ other high-rated show? Could Gibbs and company be cancelled or are they essentially guaranteed to be renewed for season 17? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An action drama, NCIS stars Mark Harmon, Sean Murray, Emily Wickersham, Wilmer Valderrama, Maria Bello, Brian Dietzen, Diona Reasonover, Rocky Carroll, and David McCallum. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ (Harmon) skills as an investigator are unmatched. He leads a group of colorful yet highly trained professionals who investigate crimes with connections to the Navy or Marine Corps.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly on 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.

For comparisons: The 15th season of NCIS averaged a 1.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 13.05 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 becancelled or renewed for season 17 on CBS? How much longer would you like to see this TV show run?
*4/11/19 update: CBS has renewed NCIS for a 17th season.
This has been and still is a great show. I am hoping for a minimum of twenty seasons. Not easy to keep quality when so many new characters are entering and exiting. But what a cliffhanger to bring back the loyal viewers.
Wow…. that……was……..Epic.
Nobody should be surprised that this was renewed.
Lame, overly boring show that has lasted FAR TOO LONG!
Last episode, a glimpse of …. Ziva…again. And I must say, after all these years… the show has not lost the level of drama. Interesting to see the relation between Torres en Bishop…
The ratings from this past Tuesday 2/12 were so high because viewers thought Ziva was going to make an appearance. That didn’t happen! I’ll go back to watching the reruns and not the current episodes. With Ziva, Tony and now Abbey gone the chemistry is gone.
That last scene of episode 13, Epic. Me as an old Ziva fan…..
I have watched every episode of this show since the beginning. I stopped watching tonight because all the characters are annoying and the show keeps pairing the main characters romantically—Tony with Ziva and her predecessor, Tim with Abbey, Ellie with the computer guy and now Torres—totally inappropriate and unreal in today’s #MeToo environment. Also, Mark Harmon’s pit bull was the reason Abbey left.
I agree, loosing Abbey was a huge mistake. I don’t like her replacement at all.
love the show watching from the first show, don’t like the new person. he is Hispanic don’t know his name but his acting is so bad. can’t you find a better hispanic character?

What has happened to the writing for NCIS? It has become trite and ridiculous. The military theme that made it interesting is gone.
Unbelievable, after more than 16 years, this show still manages to have ratings well above the 1. with 12 mlj. viewers. Much respect, despite the departure of very popular Ziva and Tony.
There were enough holes in the plot an elephant could’ve walked through it. I never cared much for the Abby character, the character replacing her is worse. Can’t the writers write better characters?
Time will tell, hope they add someone new, but keep that old NCIS charm like always, it was a mistake to kill off that MI6 agent, he was a nice addition to the family. Abby Sciuto was perhaps an acquired taste for most of the viewers, but she was original in every sense of the character. Although initially Ellie Bishop didn’t stand any chance of surviving as the member of NCIS, she did and I like her a lot too, not as great as Ziva David or Tony DiNozzo, but not that bad either. Hope for the best. Still a… Read more »
