NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service is that rare TV series that grows more popular over multiple seasons. The ratings of this slick and skillful crime show’s sixth season topped the previous five--no doubt due to blending a satisfying story formula with a perfectly balanced cast. Special Agent Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon, whose long career includes St. Elsewhere and Chicago Hope) is the stern but caring father-figure to a squad of younger agents, including obnoxious, self-satisfied field agent Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), sexy ex-Mossad agent Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), quizzical cyber-expert Tim McGee (Sean Murray), goth-chick forensics whiz Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), and crusty but wise medical examiner Donald “Ducky” Mallard (David McCallum, whose career goes back even farther than Harmon’s, to The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). The banter and tensions of this eccentric sextet provide a reliable comic foil to the frequently gruesome events under investigation. At the end of the fifth season, this crack team was scattered to the far corners of the earth by NCIS Director Vance (Rocky Carroll), leaving Gibbs with a green new crew--but within minutes of this season’s first episode, that’s revealed to be a ruse: Someone in the new team is sending secrets to the enemy. Naturally, sussing out the traitor requires pulling in the old gang one by one. From there, the season gallops along with gripping and often gory opening scenarios (A shower sprays blood! A disembowelled Navy captain has a pentagram on his back! A dying marine writes a number in his own blood--and it’s the number for Gibbs’ service record!) which are cleverly twisted to reveal even more sensational conclusions. The best episodes mislead the viewer multiple times before finally unveiling a surprise solution in the last few minutes. Gliding under these tangled threads are comic subplots about stolen cupcakes and cyberdating. Harmon anchors the show with understated gravitas (sometimes he doesn’t change expression through the entire episode), but the quirky side-players provide the juice, particularly old hand McCallum and the petulant but demanding Perrette. Though the NCIS setting means the crimes need to involve Naval personnel, that’s just window dressing--this is a show that any fan of detective procedurals will enjoy. NCIS: The Sixth Season features plenty of extras for fans, including commentaries that show the actors have the same chatty chemistry as their characters. --Bret Fetzer

 best series on TV March 12, 2010
Brenda Resh (Chattanooga, TN)
there is a reason why this series is considered the best on TV. The writing, the interaction between the characters and the story lines are consistent and always riveting.

The package arrived by mail a few days after order in perfect shape. All DVDs were pristine and played without a hitch. I'm deaf and need closed captions, which worked well with each program. No slaps to the back of the head for any of the navy crime crew -- they just get better and better.
NCIS Season 6 DVD Box Set February 23, 2010
Rodney Steen (Australia)
Being a serious NCIS fan ever since the first introduction of the team in Season 8 of JAG which spawned the series, I have been aching for this to be released in Australia. As I write this, February 23, it still is not available here!
I ordered this a month ago from Amazon and got it in 4 days when I was expecting it to take three weeks. Amazon's service, simply fantastic imho!
As for the product itself, what needs to be said? Bellisario and his team of writers have done it again. Skillfully they teased us with episodes that make you watch the next one to find out the answers to the questions running through your head. Again, as appears to be the norm in this series, a female agent was killed. (I won't let on who, just in case you haven't seen this season yet.)
For those interested in the Abby/McGee relationship, watch out for Abby getting jealous when Tim shows an interest in another woman.
Then be prepared for one hell of a cliffhanger ending to the season that will simply have you counting the days until season 7 Starts!
NCIS Season 6--Complications, Deadlines, Commitments... February 18, 2010
Scot Merideth Peirson
At the end of Season 5, in the aftermath of Jenny Sheppard's murder, Rocky Carroll's Leon Vance--with Carroll drawing liberally from Daniel Benzali's Robert Quinn on "The Agency" (Remember, Carroll was part of the ensemble of that series in the early part of this decade) had reassigned Jethro Gibbs' three field agents--sending Tony DiNozzo to be an agent afloat, Tim McGee to the Cybercrimes Unit, and Ziva David back to Mossad--and had given Gibbs a new team.
Well...PSYCHE.
The main theme of this season--which famously kicks off with Ziva, in that killer blue backless dress, singing "Temptation" in a speakeasy just before a bomb goes off--is a theme of trust; with the inital eight episodes being woven around the investigation of a mole within the MTAC, and leading into the deeper storyline of David's allegiances being questioned...as well as her relationship with a male Mossad agent. I'm sorry, that's what piques Tony's interest...
The actors at this point are wearing their characters as they would a good, comfortable pair of shoes. Mark Harmon's Gibbs is in a relationship more adversarial with Vance than he was with Sheppard (Not really a surprise, given Jethro's history with Sheppard), but is still the driving force of the team. Michael Weatherly is still having fun with the intrusive, horny DiNozzo; but it is also at the point that Tony is REALLY beginning to have Ziva issues. I've often talked about the dynamic between Weatherly and Cote De Pablo as being reminiscent of David Addison and Maddie Hayes from "Moonlighting", but this relationship also is vaguely reminiscent of the Harmon Rabb/Sarah MacKenzie relationship from NCIS's father series, JAG. Sean Murray's Tim McGee has grown by leaps and bounds in terms of confidence--especially when dealing with DiNozzo, though he still has a healthy fear of Ziva (Especially when Z finds that McGee still has a picture of her in the bikini from Sheppard's ill-fated California trip). We have to concede that NO ONE ELSE could have given Abby Sciutto the life and energy that Pauley Perrette has, just as no one else other than David McCallum could have given life to Donald Mallard. It's good that Brian Dietzen has finally been given "Also Starring" status in the opening-block credits.
I've tried to make the point that Rocky Carroll's Leon Vance has changed the dynamic of the office. In many ways, Jethro could always find some way to push the previous director's buttons--and wouldn't hesitate to do as much...but Vance seems much more of a mystery to Gibbs; and keeps his cards to his chest about situations.
One of the highlights of the first eight episodes--"The Traitor in The MTAC" storyline--is "Heartland", another one of the "Who Is Jethro Gibbs?" stories that we get once or twice a season now. This episode is an investigation of the beating of a Marine from Gibbs' hometown, taking Jethro home and introducing the viewers to his pleasant and charming father, Jackson, and has the father and son resolving some long-held differences. That Papa John Walton himself--Ralph Waite--gave a gusto to the elder Gibbs the viewers took to, it will be nice to see Jack return every so often.
I've said many times about this series that it's the recurring characters around Gibbs and the team that make the series go, and this season is no exception. We start with Liza Lapira and Jonathan LaPaglia in the "Traitor" arc; Lapira's tragic turn (And the look between Michelle Lee and Jimmy Palmer in the opener...), the introduction of Mark Harmon's son Sean playing Jethro in flashbacks--especially "Heartland" where Jethro learns about "the rules" and the surprise of who teaches him about them...Jude Ciccolella turns as Secretary of The Navy...Joe Spano's annual visits as Gibbs' rival/friend Tobias Fornell...the always entertaining Muse Watson as Gibbs' bend-the-rules mentor from when Jethro was a "probie", Mike Franks...and David Dayan Fisher's Trent Kort, who still seems to operate on agenda...and not necessarily the Company's agenda.
The second storyline--whether Mossad has compromised Ziva, and her connection to the agent/assasin Michael Rivkin (Merik Tadros, who brings some echoes of Rudolf Martin's Ari Haswari from the first two seasons)is the more dominant story of the season, and does more to shake the team to the point that Ziva chooses to stay in Israel at the end of the season.
This plays as a season of growth--the relationship/entity the fan base now calls "Tiva", Gibbs showing more of his history/character, Ziva showing that she CAN be shaken...the relationship between Vance and Gibbs and the surprises that Gibbs DIDN'T know...
Absolutely recommended.
