This Week in the NCIS World

Well Season 11 has begun rather well ratings wise (overall).  IF I am to believe some of the reports and analysis from IMDB and other sources.  As always it got mixed reviews from the fans from various forums.  There were a couple of moments in my viewing that I thought was a little shaky but overall I enjoyed it Just as the season premiere was dawning news that another spinoff was spread throughout the ether.  This time it will be in the hands of Gary Glasberg and Mark Harmon.  This led to much speculation from fans.  Questions such as will it be “a real spin-off?” or “will it be good?” It also led to speculation that maybe Mark is pulling back from the role of LJ Gibbs.  It led to concerns this would adversely affect the “mother ship”.  I don’t know what to think.  I would feel bad about not seeing Mark Harmon as much in the show. Oh and of course this is the week that trolls came out of their hiding places.  I have had to report  a couple on IMDB this past week a

This is the week

This week is the Season premiere of NCIS in its 11th Season. This is the most anticipated Season premiere.  For the fans of the show because they want to see how well the TPTB got out of the situation they were in May.   The TIVA fans because they want to know if Ziva/CDP will be honored in the way they are supposedly entitled. (note:  If any other “ship” fans were doing the same kind of crap that was pulled this summer I would be down on them too).  TPTB including cast and crew are probably anxious as well.  They want to know if they pleased the viewers/fans or not. I haven’t checked this morning if there were more articles on the season premiere but I will check shortly.  I know there are a lot of articles and reviews of the Emmy’s and many commented on Mark Harmon including PP.  They were all positive remarks.  I just hope we get the interviews.  I am sure we will get them on OMGinsider and ET. Have I mentioned I don’t like the USA Schedule for NCIS?  Have you se

The Emmy's

I tried to watch the Emmy’s on TV to see Mark Harmon but I didn't see him but I did seem on the live feed for the Emmy’s .  He was signing something in the dark. I just have a little problem though.  I sure as hell wouldn’t be tweeting while at the emmy’s.  I would be focusing on the awards and my JOB.  Of course Mark wasn’t tweeting so I wasn’t referring to him but in the videos I did see and what I saw on the TV everyone else was. It is kind of fun being a “fly on the wall” so to speak.  I just checked one of the forums and they said Mark hasn’t been on it yet except a clip from a montage at the beginning.  That’s one of the reasons why I don’t watch these things.  I let them know where you can see stuff and you might be able to see it again. More articles about Mark Harmon and the season premiere of NCIS are showing up.  They are probably re-hashing and re-writes of earlier articles.  It is nice that its happening.  My hope is we will see the cast show up on CBS shows or a

This Week in the NCIS World

Very busy week.   Prayers to the members of the real NCIS in DC and around the world after this week's attack by one gunman .  They are investigating the shooting there.  ET and other Entertainment news got reactions from the cast and crew of the NCIS series. More and more reviews of the new season for NCIS and more comments from fans etc. Articles left and right too. Happy Birthday to David McCallum who turned 80 this week.  I found many blogs that mentioned him.  :)I will add his birthday to my birthday list soon.. Really nice photos from the Stuntman’s awards.  I am glad he is was being honored.   A debate has arisen between fans regarding the actress Diane Neal.  Some including myself have felt she has been fueling the BBC brigade and the more rabid fans of CDP/Ziva.  Others have not.  I myself had been criticized on a couple of forums that DN was only being supportive.  Yeah of rabid fans going wonky on CBS and the cast and crew.   Happily I was not in a minority on I

It is going to be a busy weekend for Mark Harmon.   The Stuntman’s association is having their annual gathering and awards banquet and will be honoring Mr. Harmon with the Richard Farnsworth Award.   From all the reports Pauley P will be hosting and Robert Wagner will be presenting the award to MH. Also this weekend the Prism Awards will air on FX (check local listings for time) and we can see the pre-recorded acceptance speech from MH on NCIS set. Tomorrow USA will air the Repeat Offender Marathon starting at 1 pm.   OF course it will be on a day I am busy.   I checked the IMDB NCIS TV schedule and so far they have a few more marathons going and they kept the Wednesday Marathon in tack for the 25 th ..   It will start at 6 am (Yay) and probably finish 8 or 9 that night (the schedule is only up to 4 pm).   They didn’t list anything for Monday 9/23.   I am also not going to bother updating a calendar because it takes me too long. The next day after I posted the link to

Wow someone is pissed off...

Well it was only a matter of time before some one would rail on Mark.

Mark Harmon on the Arsenio Hall Show (1989)

  I watched this before I see tonight's Arsenio Hall show.  I may have to wait to see it because I usually have a hard time watching any talk show interview because I have no patience with interviews however if this video is any indication I may be pleasantly surprised. Discussions regarding the letter GG wrote still continue and of course whether or not CDP should have said something when she said nothing at all.  Some do not understand that even though they are not on social media or the net they have staff people who do follow it.

The anticipation of the Season premiere of NCIS is getting heavier in this fan’s life.   Discussions continue of upcoming episodes post Ziva and what to expect for episode 250.   That will be sometime later on in the season.   What ever it is I hope it is done well and received fairly well (uh huh I know not gonna happen). Mark Harmon was a busy man last weekend.   Michigan University honored the Late Tom Harmon (Mark’s father) and his accomplishments for the University as their star Quarterback.   Mr. Harmon was at the game and celebrity commentator and made a speech.   There are number of posts and pictures in various areas of the event.   According to some there was also some rude and uncalled for comments on twitter.   I somehow got on a blog for the team and some of them reviewed his “performance” as being forced.   Okay you want to stand in front of a stadium full of people and not get overwhelmed?   Good luck on that one. Next week Mr. Harmon will be appearing on

Can someone please tell me what FANFiction.net did to their site?   They updated their filters to include characters in the stories and when you are looking specifically for the pairing/characters you want they include others that you don’t want.   You think you are getting one thing and it turns out to be something totally different.   I really don’t like it. When Harriet posted the revised view alert for this months season premiere I sent a welcome back email and she emailed me privately and said thanked me.   She also said they really don’t get a very long Hiatus.    She also said that the weather/temperatures were very hot this summer.   When I asked her to send along Birthday Greetings to Mark she suggested I send him a card.   She even suggested I could get a autographed Photo of him but I am not sure I want to do that as Mom gets anxious at what she thinks is my obsessive behavior of the show and actor. There is a Labor Day Marathon tomorrow.   It starts I think aro
