Rocky Carroll, NCIS: DVD and Hiatus News

Greetings,

All of a sudden, it's summer in Los Angeles. We've had near-100 degree weather the last couple of days. The weather's even hotter in Valencia, where we film NCIS, so I think our hiatus couldn't have come at a better time.

Yes, Season 6 is a wrap. We celebrated the end of the season (cast, crew, post production, publicity, a few guest stars, etc;) with a wrap party this past Saturday. It's one of the few times that everyone connected with the show has a chance to get together. Lots of hugs, handshakes and plans to hang out during hiatus. Pauley Perette introduced us to a great Italian restaurant during the season, so a few of us plan to meet there for dinner during the break. It's great to work on a show where you want to spend time with each other away from the set.

Some of you have asked about the Season 6 DVD and ... read more

The Ghost Whisperer Producers: Were You Thrilled?

Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ghost Whisperer

Hey everybody,

This week we shared with you the episode we've been talking about since the break — "Thrilled to Death"! It had a very special guest star in Hilary Duff, who plays Morgan Jefferies, a mysterious young woman being haunted by the ghost of a stranger who died in a freak accident.  But as Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Eli (Jamie Kennedy) investigate, they realize there's much more to both of their stories than either is admitting. Meanwhile, Jim (David Conrad) faces the very real dilemma ... read more

Hello there, all you FNL fans!

D.W. Moffett here and guess what? This is my last blog of the season! Can you believe we're already at the end of this journey? Thankfully we're not completely done — as I'm sure you already know, Friday Night Lights has been picked up for two 13-episode seasons, thanks to the partnership of NBC with DirecTV! So I'm very glad to report that my blog won't end on a cliffhanger, and neither will the season.

Hello gang, Johnny here from the "Extreme Team," and this week I have the pleasure and privilege of talking about our incredible build week in Leon County, Florida, just outside of Tallahassee.

Now to begin with, I have to tell you a story. Back in my Catholic high school days, I had a Jesuit priest as a philosophy teacher, and when it came to the great Socrates proclaiming that he was "not an Athenian nor a Greek but a citizen of the world," I remember thinking, "What the heck is this cat talking about!?" Little did I know that ... read more

This will be a brief entry, so much going on at this time. My mother's doing pretty good, thanks for all your prayers and good wishes. Today is the first day of filming for the season finale. Of course I can't give anything away, but hang on to your hats, folks. It's going to be quite a ride to the end of Season 6.

Hello again,

Thank you for all of your well-wishes for my mother. I told her there's a wonderful community of folks that I chat with via the Internet who are pulling for her.

I'm enjoying your comments and questions about NCIS. I think it's been an exciting season and it's not over yet. We just finished filming the second installment of Legend, the NCIS spinoff. Some of you have expressed apprehension about a spinoff. One thing is certain — the spinoff will get off to a good start since it will be shown as two NCIS episodes this season. Eventually the spinoff will ... read more

Meeeeoooooowwwww! Ty, Michael, Ed, Paul and I traveled only a short distance to this week's destination, Phelan, Calif., to meet the largest family we have ever helped. There were at least 130 members of the Almquist family, although they are not the traditional family "members." I'll give you a hint - lions, tigers and reptiles, OH MY!

Joel Almquist (the Dad) has always been involved in the wildlife community, helping care for and raise many large animals that otherwise would not have a home. When he married Chemaine, he shared ... read more
