I only got into NCIS recently, the S2 repeats are on directly before CSI:NY here in the UK, so I'd been catching the last 15 minutes or so for ages, finally gave in and thought "what the heck, I may as well watch a whole episode and see what it's like". I'm so hooked I already went out and bought a S3 boxset! I like the one-case-a-week format, and where CSI uses montages and flashbacks, NCIS gives us character moments and we see the bond between the characters when they have their banter, there can be funny moments in amongst the violence of the cases, I love the balance of light and dark, and that there have been a few death-free episodes.
My favourite characters are Gibbs and Abby, and I love any scene they're in together. There was a great moment in "Driven" where they're at the sexual harassment seminar, and Abby seems traumatised by the idea that she can't hug people. Then Tony asks if head-slapping is appropriate, and Gibbs gives him such a look!
I'll join up with the "Gibbs is hot" brigade too. Does anyone remember the scene in "Head Case" where he's talking with Tony and Ziva about sleeping with someone as an interrogation technique? MAJOR drool moment! And he can get me into an elevator and hit the stop button any day.
