Product Description
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) a former Marine gunnery sergeant whose skills as an investigator are unmatched formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs a man of few words only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) an ex-homicide detective who may come off as the world's oldest frat boy but whose instincts in the field are unparalleled; forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) a talented scientist whose dark wit matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) a former Moussad agent who shares a bond with Gibbs over the death of his arch nemesis Ari the terrorist who killed former NCIS Special Agent Kate Todd. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum) who knows it all because he's seen it all and he's not afraid to let you know. Rounding out the team is NCIS director Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly) who has a romantic history with Gibbs. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines these special agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.System Requirements:Running Time: 835 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:097361375540 Manufacturer No:137554

Never get tired of watching. September 3, 2008
I have all 5 seasons now and just like Hogans Heroes, I never get tires of watching NCIS. The cast is marvelous and most are likeable or, in Abbys case, lovable. Tony is just Tony. He'll never change. But who wants him to? I just wish the writers would quit making Ziva so interested in Tony. Can't wait for the next season. (Sept 23 I believe).
 Why full price for a half season? September 1, 2008

Odd that the networks have been hosing us with a bunch of half season box sets for full price. Thank the writers.
Pretty shameful.
Great series.
A Poor Season for a Fantastic Show August 29, 2008

I will begin with a simple statement:
I love NCIS. I am a huge fan, and collect everything I can that has anything to do with the show... okay, I'm a geek about it.
That being said, the fifth season is definitely not something I would recommend to people that are new to the series.
Fans of the series will buy it, regardless, as I did (and you notice that even though I don't care for this season I still gave it a 4 star rating!). But for new commers, it does not have the draw of the previous seasons. Too much of the character interactions that we have all loved for so many years is being covered over by heavy plot and what seems to be writers running out of new gags. NCIS is not a comedy, and I would never want it to be, but far too often in season five we are weighed down with the long and drawn out Director vs. Arms Dealer plot and the after effects of it. The characters seem to be poked and prodded into attempting to maintain their usual interactions, when it is obvious that so many of those things need to change with time.
Really, it isn't bad... compared to most of the other shows that were out that year, it is still in my top five. But it is a poor example of what most NCIS fans have grown to love.
Bottom Line: If you are a fan, then you've already bought it. If you are thinking about getting into the show more, or have never tried it out, start earlier in. Seasons One and Two are fantastic, and really let you get to know the crew that the rest of us love.
NCIS rules! August 26, 2008

I think the producers are going to kill the show this year. The way that it ended with Gibbs getting the files on his NEW staff? There goes the cast that we know and love. Michael Weatherly, Sean Murray and Cote De Pablo all going away to new things. Where did they get Rocky Carrol from? He hasn't been seen since "Roc" on Fox, and he was un-employed. Now he's the head of NCIS, and screwing it up, I might add.
