Product Description

NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a former Marine gunnery sergeant, whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), an ex-homicide detective who may come off as the world's oldest frat boy, but whose instincts in the field are unparalleled; forensic specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), a talented scientist whose dark wit matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes, NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray), an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), a former Moussad agent who shares a bond with Gibbs over the death of his arch nemesis, Ari, the terrorist who killed former NCIS Special Agent Kate Todd. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), who knows it all because he's seen it all, and he's not afraid to let you know. Rounding out the team is NCIS director Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly) who has a romantic history with Gibbs. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents travel the globe to investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

With two solid seasons already banked, NCIS returns for a compelling third year with exciting plotlines and a slightly tweaked cast. The show's second season ended with the brutal and shocking death of Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander). The first two episodes of this season deal with the aftermath of bringing her killer to justice and examining the emotional impact of her loss on the remaining members of the NCIS team, which is led by Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). The six-disc set includes all 24 episodes, which aired on CBS during 2005-2006. Returning are happy-go-lucky ladies' man Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly, Dark Angel), forensics expert and resident Goth chick Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum, The Man from U.N.C.L.E), and agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray). Former Mossad intelligence officer Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) joins the close-knit cast, as does Jennifer Shepard (Lauren Holly, Dumb & Dumber) as the new NCIS director. Working on a daily basis with Shepard initially makes Gibbs wary. Not only is she a former girlfriend, but she also was his underling at one time. Equal parts CSI and JAG, NCIS works primarily because of its quirky cast, which is able to take sometimes regurgitated ideas and rework them into something engagingly watchable. Throughout this season, we will see agents endangered and framed, and one will accidentally kill an undercover detective who may not have been armed. But the explosive two-part season finale will finally shed light on Gibbs' painful history and help explain why he is who is he today. --Jae-Ha Kim

starts with a tragic loss
as one of their own is shot and killed by the terrorist Gibbs has been hunting Ari. The season also shows how the different NCIS members are dealing with this tragic loss in a two part episode Kill Ari. This in turn leads to the new characters, Ziva David and the new NCIS Director (who has more than a little history with Gibbs).

This all blends in well and the new members of the team pick up right where they left off. With all the quirkiness and fun that they have in each show, it only helps to show much the actors/actresses have grown together and it makes NCIS one reason that i love to watch not only this show. But others of the same caliber. I am looking forward to season four as well as the 3rd season ended in a particular way. It leaves a lot of things open for the following season.

But it also answers a few questions before the season is up like Gibbs past and how that affects him in his job today. I love all the characters in the show-Abby, Ducky, Dinozo(sp), "Probie", Ziva and the like. As each of them has their various moments throughout the season from killing an undercover cop, to a prisoner dying in custody or a mentally deranged ex-boyfriend that just won't go away.

Along with some cool special features, NCIS is a show that is best watched from the beginning so that you get the full effect. So buy the 1st seasons and start from there. By the time you get to season 3 you'll be well versed and know what all the buzz is about. NCIS is the real deal when it comes to TV shows period.

NCIS - Third Season ( it rocks)
NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Complete Third Season I ordered this set of tv DVDs on July 15. It came to me in quickness like I have never seen. I have watched the set so often I have them memorized. The quality of the discs are great, the story lines have been written and performed superbly and the team works together like none other on television. Having watched the previous seasons I have discovered that by season three each actor and actress has become part of a family and they work smoothly together to get the job done. There is trust, humor, dependency, pain in loss of a team member, and like any family, there can be competetion with touches of jealousy, but also pride in other team members' successes. I highly recommend NCIS season three (and all other seasons as well)the drama will keep you on the edge of your seat, the humor will uplift you; death of a team member and the others' reactions will make you cry; injury to another team member will keep you wondering what will become of him. Finally I especially like the special feature - the round table -- where the actors and actresses sit around the dinner table answering fans' questions and displaying the compatabliliy of this special family of friends and co-workers.

NCIS great
The third season NCIS arrived right away, in excellent condition, and it has been very entertaining. We especially like the added features (visiting with the cast, etc.) in addition to the series itself.
