CBS's "NCIS" is a gold-star fan-favorite within the procedural crime TV genre. Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), sometimes known as Jethro to his closest colleagues, leads a team of talented agents to solve the hardest cases to hit the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines. "NCIS" is one of the better procedural crime dramas, and not just because of Gibbs' heart of gold or because Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) is so loveable, but because the show offers fans a layer of authenticity and a glimpse into the lives of service members rarely accessible to the civilian eye. Each episode follows the team as they go about solving crimes, taking down terrorists, and capturing rampant serial killers.
"NCIS" is CBS's most watched broadcast series (https://www.indiewire.com/2022/05/broadcast-tv-10-most-least-watched-shows-season-ncis-duncanville-1234723904/) and has been hailed as a TV "juggernaut." But even a juggernaut, unstoppable though it may be, has flaws. Whether it's the departures from real-life plausibility that are caught by fact-checking fans or the multiple blatant workplace violations, there are a lot of missteps throughout the show's run, which started all the way back in 2003. Here are some questionable things in "NCIS."
