Q: Luckily for those of us who do not live on planet Charles or critic-land, NCIS does exist for those of us who do enjoy the show. I have to wonder if Charles even watches NCIS. There have been plenty of "life-changing" character experiences on this show, but I won't bore you by listing them. Let me just say that I love this show because when at its best, it does not take itself too seriously, it is witty and not nearly as dark and disturbing as the other "formulaic" shows on TV. And it stars... read more

Ask Matt | 7/14/2008
Q: A while back, somebody wrote to ask why critics talk so much about low-rated shows instead of hits like NCIS. I think the simple answer is that the low-rated shows are more interesting. On NCIS, you always know that Gibbs will bully Tony and Tony will bully Probie. They'll come up with a wrong answer 15 minutes from the end and the right answer 5 minutes from the end. The characters' personal quirks never affect their work. Nobody will have life-changing experiences unless it's a season ... read more
Ask Matt | 7/14/2008
Q: I was disappointed after JAG shut down after 10 years, but NCIS has been a very satisfying successor. I am wondering if the writers or producers have ever thought about bringing some of the old JAG characters into some of the future NCIS stories. Not necessarily as ongoing characters, as Gibbs has to remain Number 1, of course. It would be kind of interesting to catch a glimpse of Harm, Sarah, etc. in a hallway or on an elevator. Or Gunny could be in the area at Quantico or in D.C. Mikey's... read more
Mega Buzz on Without a Trace, Kyle XY & More! | Today's News: Our Take | 6/25/2008
Do you have any scoop on Without a Trace? Anything on the big "You don't have to [raise your baby] alone anymore" comment made by Jack to Sam on the season finale? Will we be getting more "Smack"? — ShannonMatt Mitovich: This does not bode well — there's not a lick of baby talk in any of the first three episodes being shot this summer.Could you please give the world some scoop on Kyle XY? I heard it is not returning until January 2009, and it's only 12 episodes! – KyleMitovich:... read more
Mega Buzz on Smallville, NCIS, Vegas and More! | Today's News: Our Take | 6/11/2008
Thank you all for the outstanding response and terrific questions. On with this week's buzz! Lois fans from Smallville have one request: Throw us a freakin' bone here! Please tell us she will finally be in every episode in Season 8. — LukeMatt Mitovich: Would that I could, Luke (and the scores of others seeking such assurance). But at this point I am hearing that Erica Durance's sitch remains "the same as always" — that is, she'll do 13 or so episodes — though there is a slight... read more

Q: You would have to take the week off when NCIS drops three big bombs on all of us. What gives? A: What gives is? I'm about to more than make it up to you with the following exclusive mini-Q&A with exec producer Shane Brennan featuring your burning questions about the season finale! Woo-hoo! • Are they really writing out McGee, DiNozzo and Ziva à la House, or will they all be back next season?! Patrick Brennan: No fan of NCIS will be disappointed when the show returns in September.... read more
Ask Matt | 5/26/2008
Q: After watching the finale of NCIS, I wonder if the writers did not see House this season.While I agree that reassigning an entire team can shake up a show and give it new life if done well, NCIS was not in a place where it needed to be shaken up and House failed to adequately integrate the old and new teams. NCIS is not in a position where integration of the old and new teams is possible. Unless they do an episode in Israel, with the Ronald Reagan offshore and a cybercrime?but how contrived... read more

Ask Ausiello | 5/7/2008
Q: I need to know who is getting murdered in NCIS! I want answers! A: Actually, word around NCIS is that the buzzed-about death won't be the biggest surprise of the season. Consider this line from Director Vance to Gibbs from the two-hour season finale: "If you think you can protect them forever, Jethro, you are mistaken. There's already been one casualty. There will be more." What does it mean?! Beats me! read more
Ask Ausiello | 4/30/2008
Q: I am a fanatical fan of NCIS. Any more news or clues about who is going to be murdered? A: Nope, but here's something to focus your nervous energy on whilst you wait for tragedy to strike: A super-fun "Who's Gonna Die" poll! Woo-hoo! read more
Ask Ausiello | 4/23/2008
Q: Regarding the series regular departing NCIS, how regular are we talking? Do you mean one of the main seven? A: Yes, it's one of the main seven. And for the record, the main seven are Mark Harmon, Pauley Perrette, Cote de Pablo, Lauren Holly, Michael Weatherly, David McCallum and Sean Murray. read more
Mark Harmon and the NCIS Gang Probe a Murder in Baghdad | TV Guide Magazine Cover Story | 4/23/2008
"Want some popcorn?" On the Southern California set of NCIS, Mark Harmon has already offered to fetch water bottles for everybody in his vicinity, from costar Cote de Pablo to a network rep to a visiting journalist. But now he's moved on: Just back from the craft services table with a bag of freshly popped popcorn, the star of the show is doing his best to make sure that nobody around here goes hungry, either. "Mark," says De Pablo with a laugh, "is always trying to feed us." So it goes on ... read more
Ask Matt | 4/21/2008
Q: I have read your column for the last couple of years, and I rarely see any comments about NCIS. Do you not like the show? I love it, and I am very happy to see its return rank No. 3 in viewers for Tuesday. I recently read that a cast member is leaving the show. The only person I would be happy to see go is Lauren Holly. I don't think she is a bad actress, but she does not seem to have any chemistry with Mark Harmon, and their characters were supposed to have had an affair. The Shepard ... read more
Ask Ausiello | 4/16/2008
Q: Please give me a hint about who's leaving NCIS. There are currently 293 comments on this in the Ausiello Report. You can't leave us totally hanging for weeks. Give us something. A: I'll give you something, but I can't guarantee it'll reduce your anxiety level. The exiting NCIS series regular will be (last chance to bail before major spoiler!) tragically murdered in one of this season's five remaining episodes. Now, whaddya say we get those comments up to 400 by close of business today? read more
NCIS' Pauley Perrette Has Animal Magnetism | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 4/15/2008
Abby's career is in danger of going to the dogs ? literally ? when the forensics specialist stubbornly defends a canine suspected of mauling its owner to death in this week's new episode of NCIS (tonight at 8 pm/ET, CBS). "All the evidence points to the fact that the dog did it," says executive producer Shane Brennan. "But Abby's determined to prove that the dog is innocent." Which leads to an admonishment from Gibbs, who believes the German shepherd is responsible for the death and warns ... read more
Ask Ausiello | 4/9/2008
Q: Loved the Catherine Tate nod in last week's AA, but I'm not loving the conspicuous lack of NCIS scoopage for the past several months. Look at my face. Am I bovvered? Yes. Very. A: Believe it or not, you were the one and only Aushole to pick up on my Tate reference, leading me to conclude that it was either way too subtle or not enough of you have experienced the brilliance that is this. Or this. And for your information, I posted a huge NCIS scoop yesterday. Take the shame, mate. read more
Exclusive: NCIS Star Goes AWOL! | Ausiello Report | 4/8/2008
There's another shake-up brewing over at NCIS, only this time it's happening on screen.CBS and Paramount declined comment, but sources confirm to me exclusively that a major castmember — a series regular — is on the way out. And as tempted as I am to blab this person's identity, after much soul searching, I've decided that doing so would prove WTS (Way Too Spoilery). And here's why: The actor in question will exit the series in a dramatic fashion. I might even go so far as to call it... read more

Returns: Tuesday, April 8, at 8 pm/ET (CBS) Number of new episodes: 7Where we left off: Inspector Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) realized he had an ongoing conflict with agency director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly); icy agent Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) developed a fever for wise-cracking agent DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly); nerdy agent McGee (Sean Murray) tried getting closer to Abby (Pauley Perrette), the goth girl in forensics. What's next: "We've had flashbacks to a relationship that... read more
