2016 May 10 NCIS Critique of “Dead Letter”

By |2017-05-19T13:10:07-04:00May 10th, 2016|NCIS|

As usually happens at the end of each season, NCIS is wrapping up with three or four episodes, which are related. The story arc continues into the next week. In our opinion, the two previous shows were messy and mediocre at best. Tonight’s show is a vast improvement bringing in several elements that work well [...]

2016 May 3 NCIS Critique of “Homefront”

By |2016-05-03T21:51:09-04:00May 3rd, 2016|NCIS|

After last week’s episode Return to Sender, (which we panned) we wrote that if this week’s show turned out as bad, we would pass on writing a critique. Again in Homefront, the producers have largely served up another loser. Michael Weatherly, who plays “Very Special Agent” Anthony DiNozzo, was nowhere to be seen, although his [...]

2016 Apr 19 NCIS Critique of “Return to Sender”

By |2016-04-19T22:17:25-04:00April 19th, 2016|NCIS|

We begin our critique of this episode with a warning to those who have recorded it. This is one of those rare episodes that is continued. Personally, we didn’t care for the plot, the writing, or the dialogue. We’d like to “Return to Sender” every minute we watched with the gore and gruesome scenes. Thus, [...]

2016 Apr 5 Critique of NCIS Episode ‘Charade’

By |2017-05-19T13:10:07-04:00April 5th, 2016|NCIS|

As Michael Weatherly, aka Anthony DiNozzo, prepares to depart the NCIS show, the producers created a special episode that provides an extra dose of Tony DiNozzo, and Tony DiNozzo, and Tony DiNozzo and Tony DiNozzo, as there are three “phony Tony’s”. It was a really fun episode about a good looking blonde who steals Tony’s [...]

2016 Mar 22 NCIS Critique of “Reasonable Doubts”

By |2016-03-22T23:18:13-04:00March 22nd, 2016|NCIS|

Wow, three good episodes in a row! Who would’ve thought? Everyone’s worried that when Michael Weatherly leaves, the show will fall apart, but the writers and producers are putting out some really good shows. So perhaps the transition from Tony DiNozzo will better than some would expect. Tonight’s episode includes the return of Robert Wagner, [...]

With the primary elections proceeding in full swing, we want to share with you some inside information about 2020. With a popular TV star attracting voters to the polls in huge numbers, political consultants from both political parties are gathering in smoke-filled rooms, and are studying the success of TV shows. They are focused like [...]

2016 Mar 15 NCIS Critique of “Scope”

By |2016-03-15T22:23:45-04:00March 15th, 2016|NCIS|

Did you ever think you would be watching the 300th episode of NCIS? We can tell you that David, a former NCIS Special Agent, and his colleagues never dreamed there would be such a popular TV drama about their careers. After a string of mediocre episodes, the producers and writers of the NCIS show have [...]

2016 Mar 1 NCIS Critique of “After Hours”

By |2016-03-01T22:07:23-05:00March 1st, 2016|NCIS|

Sometimes things never go as one plans. Tonight, we arrived home ten minutes after the NCIS show began, and we discovered that our DVR was turned off. However, the “After Hours” episode was easy to follow. Plus, it was refreshing to watch a show featuring less blood and guts that gives us a glimpse of [...]

2016 Feb 23 NCIS Critique of “Loose Cannons”

By |2017-05-19T13:10:07-04:00February 23rd, 2016|NCIS|

He’s baaack!! Leroy Jethro Gibbs is back and in top-notch form. Tonight, we were treated to another great show. Scott Williams, the writer of this episode wrote a plot that in our view refers to the ATF undercover operation ‘Fast and Furious.’ In highlighting what happens when military weapons are stolen and disseminated to the [...]
