NCIS has some big changes ahead. The CBS drama is moving to a new night after 18 years and star Mark Harmon will likely have a reduced role on the series.
CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl spoke about Harmon’s role in the upcoming 19th season, per Deadline:
“Mark’s always been part of the show, Mark’s always going to be part of the show. In terms of his on-air appearances, we’re just going to have to see how it plays out going forward.”
At the end of last season, Gibbs’ boat exploded and Harmon’s character could be seen swimming away. Viewers will find out about his fate in the early episodes of season 19. As far as the show’s move from Tuesday to Monday nights, Kahl said the following, per TV Line:
“We hope to improve the [Monday] time period significantly, and we hope that it can be a strong lead-in to help launch NCIS: Hawai’i…. We realize that we can’t take [the time slot change] for granted. We have to help educate people and let them know where it’s moving to.”
NCIS returns to CBS on Monday, September 20th.
What do you think? Are you planning to keep watching NCIS on Monday nights? Will you continue to watch if Harmon isn’t on the series as much?
Yes, I will definitely watch the 19th season of NCIS. I have watched all the episodes in the previous 18 seasons. With all these changes, I hope they haven’t ruined the show.
Hate the fact that they changed the night… AND the time!!! Horrible decision… Could have just made Monday night FBI night and kept NCIS where it’s always been.
Mark Harmon IS NCIS. If he leaves, I will not be watching the series!
I am planning to watch but if Mark Harmon leaves I will no longer wstch
There’s an echo from the CBS President about Mark Harmon!
I think when you move the schedule, you’re putting all your eggs in one basket.
I think NCIS will thrive wherever it is placed.
I see Seal Team hasn’t been move to Paramount after all.
Let’s hope someone brings back NCIS NOLA.
I will keep watching
I will always be dedicated to this show.
Yes! I will still watch NCIS. I’ve been watching from the very beginning. I think it was a big mistake to cancel NCIS New Orleans. It was a great show!
I agree. We loved NCIS New Orleans!
Yes, I enjoy ALL of the NCIS series! I watch the story regardless of who the star is.
YESSSS!
Yes my family and I will watch on Monday, we love NCIS. Will be disappointed if Harmon drops out, please have him stay as much as possible. Hope his health is ok.???
Sure I will watch on Monday Night but I think it was a mistake to move it from 8PM on Tuesday’s! I hope that Mark Harmon is in many more than half the episodes! The biggest mistake was cancelling NCIS New Orleans for a new Hawaii show! The New Orleans Team had just started to gel rock and was much better than LA (without Hetty the interest drops)
No. I’m done. All the people that made the show great have left. MCIS has jumped the shark.
I’m a faithful follower of the show and will continue to watch in the new time slot
I record the show anyway and will watch when I can.
Enjoy this show one of my favorite shows. Never missed any episodes of it last couple years been watching so good.
sure i will watch it and glad its on monday cz tuesday was a busy day for recording .too many shows at the same time monday was quiet
I will watch, for sure, though I was worried about the change. My wife has strong feelings about NCIS NO, I like it as well. The Network should not tinker much with the show, let it reach its new state.
