It’s been too long since we’ve blogged. And yes, we are still writing novels. So let’s get caught up! Many of you have written asking about our NCIS critiques. For those of you who have followed our critiques of the original NCIS show, know the producers of the show also launched a Los Angeles (LA) [...]
What's wrong with this picture? Some would say the above creche can’t be on Government property because it is a religious symbol. We could win a court argument about that, as the baby Jesus has been replaced by a dog. Others might argue that dogs have become some peoples’ gods, and there are statistics [...]
Tonight’s episode of NCIS used a Halloween Party (not on a Navy base) as a backdrop to stage the wounding of Navy Lt. Ethan Wynn and the eventual murder of his wife Lt. Helen Wynn. We find ourselves in the Fifteenth season, and it’s getting harder to write realistic scripts. As we’ve pointed out too [...]
As you all might remember, we began writing a critique of the NCIS show in 2011, when so many of those who buy and read our suspense novels sought our opinion about the authenticity of the show.

What better way for a TV series looking to prop up it’s dropping ratings than to have two of the characters get married on TV? It happened in Happy Days when Joanie and Chachi were married on TV. A famous wedding happened on General Hospital in 1981. Luke and Laura married on the show and [...]
Do you like horses? If so, you will enjoy tonight’s episode of NCIS. The show had very little to do with the Department of Navy, but it was a great way to reach the increasing population who love animals. Given that much of what is posted on Face Book features animal antics and stories, the [...]
Tonight, CBS televised their first of six episodes of ’48 Hours: NCIS where they will feature reviews of real NCIS cases. As we watched the show we found it to be much more like a documentary with police officers and NCIS agents describing a case and telling of the outcome. In the featured murder case, [...]
Often we write about how things are really done within the NCIS. That’s because television productions are mostly created from whole cloth, just for our entertainment. Here’s a chance to learn about the real thing. Beginning this Tuesday night, April 25th, CBS will begin a mini-series in which real NCIS cases are explored. Rocky Carroll, [...]
