“I’m not going back, Tim…. I’m not going back home.”
With that declaration from Gibbs, made while peacefully casting a line into an Alaskan bay, CBS‘ NCIS this Tuesday night announced
series lead Mark Harmon‘s exit after more than 18 seasons.
Harmon reportedly was ready to hang up Gibbs’ cap after last season, but learned that if he did so, CBS might not renew NCIS at all. As such, he agreed to return in a limited capacity. TVLine later reported that Harmon was expected back for only “a few” episodes.
Sure enough, in but the fourth episode of Season 19 — after he, McGee et al solved the case of a contract killer hired by a conglomerate to clear the way for an environment-poisoning copper mine — Gibbs decided not to take back his badge, gun and job, when offered by Director Vance, but stay put in “the middle of nowhere,” in Alaska, where this multi-episode arc had most recently led him.
NCIS showrunner Steve Binder said in a statement, “As an executive producer and dear friend, Mark continues to be an integral part of the fabric of the show. Our north star has always been staying true to our characters, and that truth has always guided the stories we tell and where those characters go. So regarding the future of Gibbs, as long-time fans of the show may have noticed over the years… never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out.”

Phoning McGee, who had slipped away to Alaska with Gibbs to follow a new lead, Agent Parker remarked that he had checked the AWOL Gibbs’ house “and something tells me he’s not coming back” — as he stared at the infamous opposite wall, which had a huge hole busted in it. A hole big enough to remove a boat.
On the way to talk to murder victim Libby’s father at a marina, Gibbs expresses his admiration for one “helluva boat” they pass by — but McGee think he’s kidding, since the vessel in question is in rough shape. But surely one of Gibbs’ rules is “Gibbs never kids around.”
In speaking with the father of Libby the murdered reporter, Gibbs indicates that he, too, has suffered the loss of a child. “How do you get through the days?” asks Mr. Alonak. Gibbs bows his head, then admits, “Some days I don’t.”
In the first of several goodbye scenes presented as flashbacks, we see Vance meet up with Gibbs at the diner, to deliver a small shopping bag containing… a nifty sat phone, to use when in Alaska. What followed was Gibbs choking out a goodbye to his longtime friend and colleague — though his dunking of his old clamshell phone in his coffee nearly upstaged the entire scene. “It had a good run,” indeed.
In the second goodbye flashback scene, Ducky stops by Gibbs’ house just as he’s about to get a ride to the airport. After commenting on his basement’s “airy” decor, Ducky expressed his worry, saying that “milestone events” such as losing team members, job loss and near death “stack up on each other and build internal pressure.” Gibbs said what needed to be heard — “There’s nothing to worry about, Duck” — before admitting that he has been “searching,” though he’s not sure for what. Before heading off to Alaska, Gibbs gave Ducky a big hug, saying, “You are a great friend. I appreciate you more than you know.”
The final and very best meta commentary on the long-running mystery of Gibbs’ basement came during Torres’ goodbye flashback. When Gibbs was surprised to hear that people wonder how he gets his boats out, Torres insisted there were many theories, most of them “nuts.” He rattled off a few, including “moveable walls, pulley systems, your house has a coal tunnel underneath….”
Things then got serious when Gibbs asked how Torres himself has been doing since… well, you know… before telling Nick he is “one hell of an agent” and “a good man.” A bit of parting advice from Boss? “Don’t let this job become all that there is,” he said. “Take care of you, pal.”
When Agent Alden Parker shows up in Alaska to scoop up Gibbs (on charges of abducting a murder suspect and such), Gibbs — who himself tipped off Parker to his location – manages to get the G-man to stand down, if only long enough to prove that the Sonova CEO ordered the killings. “The
victims’ families need answers, the people of Noktok Bay deserve to keep what’s theirs,” Gibbs argued. When Parker questions whether Gibbs & Co. actually believe that they can go up against a billion-dollar company and win, Gibbs plainly responds, “Yeah. We do. The job’s not done.”
Engaging in a bit of theater, Gibbs and McGee were in the midst of confronting the Sonova CEO with proof of the damning-but-hidden environmental impact report when a “call” from Director Vance interrupts and orders them to stand down. Agent Parker, posing as the CEO’s driver, then follows through on the arrest after seeing which secret partner (a murder victim’s husband) the panicked CEO immediately tried to phone.
With the CEO’s secret partner identified, journalist Marcie (played of course by Pam Dawber) resurfaces to lure the man into an NCIS trap, gloating he is now angry he will have to do his “own wet work” and then finding a certain honor in him calling her a “bitch.”
Gibbs marveling at the land they saved, and then forcing McGee to cuff him. Agent Parker defying his bosses by letting Gibbs go free, after FBI vet Fornell vouched for the his old friend. Vance informing the team that Gibbs was offered his job back, but declined. There was a lot to love about the episode’s final act.
But the very final sequence, during which Gibbs not only took McGee fly fishing in Alaska but also opened up like seldom before — speaking about his father and childhood — was so powerful and laden with emotion. Especially when Gibbs talked about fishing, but wasn’t really. “You have to find your rhythm; not mine…. Be patient. It’s about progress, not perfection,” he told the senior agent to whom he was about to turn over the keys to the proverbial car. “Once you know the basics, the rest comes from inside.”
McGee, bless him, failed to pick up on several hints and grew confused when Gibbs didn’t hop aboard the sea plane that arrived to get them. “I’m not going back, Tim…. I’m not going back home,” Gibbs stated, explaining that “this sense of peace, I have not had this since Shannon and Kelly died. And I am not ready to let it go.”
“I could not have hoped for anyone better to watch my back for the past 18 years than you, Tim,” Gibbs told McGee, once his intention to stay in Alaska became clear. (A wee bit of DiNozzo erasure? Discuss!)
Gibbs then pulled his No. 2 into the biggest of bear hugs, saying, “I love you” — and McGee in turn said, through tears, “I love you, too,” before boarding the sea plane and leaving Gibbs behind. In peace.

Not really surprised. He’s been checked out of the show for over three seasons now.
I kind of saw this coming for a while now Mark is getting on in years and realistically someone on their seven decade wouldn’t still be doing a job like this. I’m not sure how the show will go on without Gibbs. Mcgee is good he just has no charisma as a leader despite being senior agent, Parker still not sure what to think he is basically a dollar discount version of Gibbs more of a rule follower than the shoot from the hip. Never did like Torres and Knight just seems like a female Tony minus the charm. Its been fun NCIS but its time to end.
I mean, Gary Cole is only 5 years younger than Harmon….
Maybe this will be the last season of the mothership.
BTW, Gary is awesome. Give him a chance.
I love Lumberg. But Gary Cole is a show killer.
I like Gary Cole. I stopped watching regularly when David McCallum stopped appearing in every episode. That stupid haircut that Harmon had was just too annoying. An older guy with a head of hair like Cole’s is worth his wait in gold and he has more acting chops than Harmon has every had.
Cole is no doubt a better actor, but Harmon’s Gibbs is an iconic character. Its really tough to replace that, even if the guy you bring in has the chops.
His “wait”?
He seems to be doing just fine on The Good Fight.
…and Bob’s Burgers, and Family Guy.
They tried Gary Cole on Chicago Fire not so good! Taking Gibbs out of NCIS is like taking Tom Selleck off of Blue Bloods.
Great Series, I LOVE YOU GIBBS!! AND THE GIBBS HEAD SLAP, WHAT I LOVED THE MOST WAS YOUR CHARACTER HEART!! HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!
So you are judging a character who we’ve only for the prior two episodes?
I’m with you on that I lost interest when Micheal Weatherly left and then Abby and that left just Mcgee of the original group. I had a good run but when your show was built on the bond between a very special group of characters that fed of each other and only one of those characters remain its time to call it quits.
I agree I started to loss a lot of interest when Michael Weatherly left then when Abby left. I just watched once in a while. Replace iconic characters that we watch grow together and become family. It’s hard to watch without.
Abby leaving was a high point. She was a 2 trick pony, Caf-Pow and “Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs” uttered as many time as necessary to indicate the severity of the situation. In all the years she was a character she showed no growth as a female scientist, emotionally, intellectually, or as a person..
I lost interest when Cote De Pablo left – her interaction with DiNozzo and their friends to not friends to maybe something else and the humor over the years was so fun to watch. It just got dull after that, and then even duller when Weatherly left. You are left with 3 agents who speak in monotone voices and have no fun, humorous, interactions.
Did you notice how Harmon hopped over the side of the boat when he met with the father of the murdered journalist. It was the most macho display of “Hey, I’m not leaving because I can’t handle the physical demands of the series” display that I can recall.
You’re right about McGee but Torres has a ton of charm as does Gary Cole. He hasn’t led a series that I remember. He’s probably happy to be able to settle with one cast and crew at this point in his career while he banks the bucks that come with a regular starring role in a series for his old age.
Marlowe, if you’re referring to Gary Cole not leading a series, think way way back to Midnight Caller where he played a late-night talk radio program host. It ran from ’88 – ’91. Cole also has a very long list of credits (see IMDB.com)
I agree wholeheartedly with your entire assessment!
Agreed!
I love Torres
I hate him.
Didn’t they promise us, before the season started, that Gary Cole wasn’t coming in to replace Harmon? It was a nice exit for Gibbs but I don’t see why we need another 65yr old senior agent (you know Leon is going to hire Parker)
IF Alden Parker were to be hired by Vance he would have to start as a probie and go through NCIS training.
In the real world, sure. But this is TV and they can do whatever they want. After all, the writers ignored the mandatory retirement age rule, they can ignore the probie /training rules.
he’s an FBI agent with skills. This would be a lateral
Not exactly. NCIS has already set precedent for this situation. Diane Neal’s Borin left the coast guard and said after she completed an initial training she’d get her own team. So he wouldn’t have to start at the bottom. Training for NCIS protocols yes, but probie no….
Speaking of Borin, I think they should have brought her back. She was basically a female version of Gibbs.
Diane Neal self-sabotaged any future playing that role after she went on an hours long rambling often incoherent twitter rant back in 2015 because she was mad at the NCIS NO episode director she was working with.
its the NCIS way take in agents from other agencies, NSA, SEAL, PD, Mossad,
Anyone think Harmon might come back if the ratings start to go down without him and Gary Cole doesn’t work? Or this will be its last Season if the ratings do go down?
Doubtful. He’s old now and didn’t even want to come back at all this season. More likely they’d just end this series.
I agree Pat. This was Harmon’s show. I don’t see the show continuing after this season. Cole might be a good temp, not long term. Goodbye Gibbs we will miss you !!
Ditto, Harold!
What about NCIS Alaska
Don’t laugh. Even CSI somehow came back.
He’s not old. Did you notice him in jeans last night and his smile ?
He’s 70, and the rumors are he doesn’t want the grind of a 22 episode hour long season. He actually wanted to leave LAST season.
That wouldn’t bode well for a return to the starring role.
Sadly, My 2 favorite TV shows for several years have been DWTS & NCIS. Yep, I’m old, too. Both shows seem to be aging out, like me. I keep hoping some good new shows will come along, but its not looking promising. I am enjoying “Masked Singer”, but nobody seems to have any good ideas for new scripted shows. Fortunately, some of the old shows are so old, episodes from over a decade ago might as well be new.
Mark Harmon just left and Stephen Binder is already talking about a possible return. Possible but not probable. It’s unfair to viewers to suggest this in an effort to get them to tune in. There are no guarantees and contracts rule the day. Truly hope that the show is able to survive after this.
Where did Binder say this…?
Yes I think he will be coming back on the show if if it declines in the ratings I hope and pray that it it does and he comes back because it won’t be the same without him
He’s done with this freaking show. It’s been on for 500 seasons and he’s an old man. HE’S DONE.
If he decides to pop back good that’s his choice–tell me “Muffy” (really, Muffy??)how old are you? (judging by your comments and total lack of respect I’d say hmmm 13?) Mark Harmon is a good actor and NCIS is a good show. If you don’t like it don’t watch it. People do get older it’s the way it is–stupid people never change their DONE from the beginning.
I hope it’s not the end of Jethro Leroy Gibbs and NCIS! I hope CBS execs are smart enough to realize NCIS is one of the best written and produced shows on network TV. I also hope that Gary Cole will step in as a temporary or possible permanent replacement for Gibbs but that the show will continue to provide its fans with more years if quality viewing.
They would have to change the name cause it’s not NCIS anymore. NCIS was Gibbs, Dinozzo, Mcgee, ducky, ziva, and Abby their interactions with each other and their story as NCIS agents. Now that Gibbs is gone and Mcgee is all of the original cast left in the bullpen that should be the rap for this show I’d rather that then watch a rando take Gibbs desk. Outside of getting Micheal Weatherly to bring Dinozzo back to take Gibbs desk it wouldn’t feel right anymore.
It would be nice to see DiNozzo and Ziva come back for some closure even if for one episode.
I agree! Would be fun if Gibbs came back from Alaska for a little closure also.
Well, Harmon is no longer on the show, so yeah, as far as the story goes, it’s the end of Gibbs. Harmon is 70 years old this year. Most people are retired by age 70, so I can imagine that with a show like NCIS and a role as physically demanding as Gibbs, Harmon is done. Gibbs was never going to ride a desk, so leaving the show was the only way this was going to go. Honestly, there was so much foreshadowing in the episode last night that I thought they were actually going to kill him off. I’m happy to think of him fishing in Alaska forever. Now, as for Gary Cole, having him around temporarily is OK, but he’s really not my cup of tea. I don’t like his acting, his characters always come across smarmy to me, so I really don’t want to see him as a long term replacement. What’s Scott Bakula doing now that NCIS: New Orleans is done???!
Good idea about Scott Bakula. I would watch.
I heard a couple of stories for S. Bakula’s career..not sure if its ture or not (returning to ENterprise.
There’s been talk of a Quantum Leap reboot. But I don’t care what they call a show Scott Bakula is in, I’ll watch it.
Mark Harmon is Gibbs and I’m thankful for the years we had but above all else, like you said, Gary Cole is NOT my cup of tea at all either. His hiring bothered me much more than Gibbs leaving (cause I know he’s in Alaska fishing) or the day and time change. There have been a lot of cast changes over the years but this is the first one that I have seriously been upset about.
I agree, wishing we had more years of NCIS. Something tells me this is the final season. I don’t see it lasting much longer without Gibbs; no one can replace him. I just wish they would’ve continued with him for more than just four episodes; I thought Gibbs would end with the final episode of season 19. I was shocked and saddened to see this last episode building into a great exit for and heartfelt tribute to Gibbs.
Wonderfully written, I’m still in tears. I hope that Gibbs still has that sat phone, and who knows, if he’s needed, maybe we may see him again.
But that father/son relationship with McGee has been one of my favorites in the last few seasons. I was never a fan of DiNozzo to begin with, so for me there is no comparison.
I, for one, will keep watching – I think there’s still life in the show, and I like the chemistry with McGee, Torres, and Knight. Even Parker has redeemed himself.
Anyone who didn’t like DiNozzo, doesn’t like NCIS and therefore doesn’t have a soul.
🤣🤣🤣
Eh I can’t blame him for leaving, this show used to be my favourite for years but wasn’t able to be sustained. The more spin offs it for it became paint by numbers same same each week (which I understand why people still love it as most don’t like change). I wanted a bit more character development and once Ziva and Tony left (I was not a tiva fan though), I was done. It was stale and my faces were hard done by.
I’ve kept up with the basics though as I really did used to adore it, happy Mark is able to retire snd if someone had to see him off, it it weren’t Ducky, Tim is a good replacement. He wasn’t there from the beginning though so would’ve been nice to see him meet up with one of the OGs that are still alive. I guess they can do that at series finale!
Thank you Dinozzo is the only character right for taking Gibbs job and desk if he isn’t coming back it should be the end of this show.
DiNozzo was a walking advertisement for hostile work environment, especially in the early seasons. I’ve never found much attractive about self-absorbed rich frat boys who think women are only about having sex with, which was how the character was frequently portrayed. However, given what the actor who played DiNozzo did on his show without any serious repercussions is what really soured me on the character.
Exactly how I feel. How Michael Weatherly is still employed is beyond me but different rules for different people.
I agree. I found him totally obnoxious.
DiNozzo was a clown and not the funny kind.
Agree, DiNozzo sexually harassed Kate and plenty of other women on the show, had a weird fixation with McGee, was always touching him inappropriately and hazed him for years, and he generally didn’t seem professional or even competent at his job. The only appropriate response for the character was getting head slaps from the boss.
He was doing exactly what his character was told to do. U know it’s call acting. And he was good at it. Tony and Gibbs were great together. If he wasn’t offered his own show he would have still been there.
DiNozzo was a bozo. Full of himself. I love the show and have watched it from the beginning. Gibbs may be back once in a while like Mike Franks. Abby was also a tool. The show went on fine without her.
I agree with you almost 100%. Only difference would be that I did like Tony, most of the time. LOL
I agree, never cared for DiNozzo. Show is much better without him.
Show has had almost no loveable comedy or soul since Dinozzo left it dropped ratings when he left and honestly I couldn’t watch it after he left just became too ehh.
I’ll bet you meant MONDAY night.
This show needs to read the room. They should have given it a proper ending when Mark wanted out.
That was a perfect ending for Gibbs… Not the first lead character to leave a long long running show.. Gibbs deserves retirement… We’ll see how things work out… A solid show like this will figure out a way to continue…
Obviously Mark Harmon wants the show to continue on.That’s the whole reason he agreed to appear this Season.Remember he’s still one of NCIS’s Executive Producers.
From what I’ve read, Mark wants the show to continue so people don’t lose their jobs. While I respect that, it’s got to happen at some point. That’s just the business, and more than likely, everyone will find work on another set. Dragging out a show and recycling storylines and characters… it just feels tacky and taints past seasons.
That’s your honest opinion –which I respectfully disagree with. It’s true no show lasts forever (except perhaps Doctor Who) but I truly have and continue to enjoy the various mixes of vets and newbies in the cast –do not find any of it “tacky” or “tainting” and look forward to how the show adapts in future episodes. NCIS is still #1 for all scripted broadcast show in total viewers even with the timeslot change so there’s many millions who do not share your viewpoint.
I’m aware my opinion isn’t the only one, and I genuinely hope you continue enjoying the show. For me, the show has just become more upsetting than enjoyable.
Mark Harmon you will be missed! More than you know. We feel the loss already. I will remember this character forever! I know it’s probably time for all of us to let go. You have a life to spend with your family but maybe stop in and see us every now and then. Have a good rest. 😭😭
Part of the realism of NCIS is the departure of seasoned agents & the recruitment of new. Although the show focuses primarily on the characters and events, the foundation is NCIS. When beloved characters leave the show it is not comfortable for invested viewers and I’ve rarely had any immediate liking to new characters, but gave them a chance. As a result, I’ve rarely if ever been disappointed.
Amen. That’s life, even in law enforcement jobs. Beloved supervisors and teammates retire or move on to other job, and missed greatly – but new people come in and find a way to make their own mark. That’s life!
I agree on your comment but I am the opposite I never liked Torres or Bishop or Kassie. So that only left Gibbs and Magee. Without Gibbs it is domed. Just like when Christopher left NCIS New Orleans it was doomed. U can believe this show will fold without Mark Harmon.
The longer a series is on ,the more the quality goes down and that is a fact. Only the rabid hardcore fans like you pretend the series is still amazing. Aliens could become the new leads, and y’all would still claim the series is amazing.
Best scenes ever. I really liked the episode but hate to see Gibbs go.
I honestly didn’t expect this ending now. I agree that Parker will probably step in.
Well, I don’t understand why the actor wants to leave? Is he going to get a different job? Is he going to retire and do nothing? Is his health bad? Seems odd to leave after all this time when the show would not go on forever and he could have just stuck with it. I guess I’m out then too, the only reason to watch this show was Gibbs. It was actually fun seeing someone in a great main roll that is not in his 20s.
Mark Harmon is still an Executive Producer for NCIS. In a typical Season of the show they start table reads,dress rehearsals,etc..in late June –actual filming typically takes 9 days per episode which can require the cast and crew to be on set for 12-16 hours a day. As main lead Harmon would need to be in the majority of the scenes.Even after filming there’s re-shoots .dialogue looping etc..in post. Except for breaks and hiatus that schedule goes on often for 9-10 months and Harmon’s been doing it for 19 years straight.
Is retiring after working your whole life a new concept for you?
Can’t pretend I know what Mark Harmon feels, but the conditions for TV actors are by all accounts pretty brutal. 12-16 hour days 5-6 days a week for 8-9 months of the year. A lot of them thrive on it, some struggle with it (See Sasha Alexander’s comments on why she left NCIS all those years ago).
.
I’m sure there will be plenty of work for Harmon if he wants it though.
Maybe he’s leaving for the same reason most over-65 folks leave their jobs/retire. Because he can. 🤷♀️
NCIS without Gibbs is ruined. I’ve watched every episode, every season, even reruns, and without Gibbs we are left with McGee and a bunch of relative newbies we are just beginning to care about. They ruined it. Ruined it.
So what you’re saying is, “How dare Mark Harmon age?”
I know, like how dare he. Or even better, after working all of these years non stop entertaining us on many shows like St. Elsewhere, Chicago Hope, The West Wing plus numerous movies, etc. how dare he want to spend time with his wife of over 33 years and his 2 sons. The nerve! smdh
The
ending of this show was a tearjerker. I sincerely hope its not the end for Gibbs, the great Mark Harmon. If he leaves the show it will be over for good.
Truly well done departure for the Master Gibbs! Harmon’s time is up and either show gets a new life or just ends. I am all for continuing the show with added cast.Gary Cole is a terrific actor that is extremely talented and well respected. He can take show in slightly different direction.Honestly, Harmon’s acting was reaching a lazy point- same monologue too often. I am ready for a bit more dialogue & . energy!
So sad to see him go😪
Welp, I’m definitely never watching NCIS again. Not because I’m really upset that Mark Harmon left. I just forget every single darn week that it moved to Monday.
DVR it if you can, then you don’t worry about forgetting it.
I’m going to miss him he was the reason I watched NCIS BUT I will give it a chance and keep watching Thanks Mark
The only way that I see him coming back is for the series finale so that he walk Ziva down the aisle. (Come on now, we all know that they’re saving that Tiva wedding for the series finale)
That lifted my spirits. TY
Yes indeed, sent that suggestion to CBS viewer feedback yesterday.
Yes! Thinking the same thing. He needs come closure with ZIva and DiNozzo and so do I!
I feel like Gibbs has earned some peace. That being said, there is nothing saying he won’t pop up from time to time. I’m going to miss seeing Mark Harmon on screen as Gibbs each week, but I think it is fair to give McGee the benefit of the doubt. It was hard when Ducky shifted roles, but Palmer ended up doing a great job taking over the ME role. I think It will be interesting to see how Parker gets integrated into the team.
There are a lot of real world issues to worry about but Mark Harmon leaving NCIS isn’t one of them.
NCIS takes me away from all the crazy problems in the world for one hour, that’s why I love it❣️
I don’t ‘like’ that Harmon is leaving… but he’s got to do for him… and if he’s honored his contracts he doesn’t owe anyone more than he wants to give…
But I do like that Gibbs got a “proper finale”… a Multi episode arc, a major case, and a life changing decision… Had the show ended here I think the only complaints might be that we didn’t get a cameo from DiNozzo (although Ziva’s return arc the other season kind of covered that) or a Guest star as the Villain (but being a multi-episode arc that might have telegraphed the milestone)
all that said, I would not be shocked if Gibbs does get 2-3 regular Guest spots each season a la Franks or Fornell
Great but bittersweet episode!! As soon as Gibbs started talking to the father of the victim on his boat one could tell he would be staying and it really felt natural for his character. KUDOs to all the cast and crew for a phenomenal job!!I imagine there was a lot of tissues being used off-set. I know I teared up when Gibbs and Ducky embraced and later when Gibbs and McGee embraced.
Gibbs has retired before, with Franks. So it may or may not last. But the last couple of years Gibbs has been phoning it in. So it may just be time to either re-invent the series. But the new direction isn’t going to be strong enough to pull in the viewers. So either they bring in a strong, charismatic leader, or go with a good buddy dynamic because McGee has always been a “buddy” and not a leader. They tried this with DiNozzo the last time, and it simply didn’t work, and they had much stronger characters.
Take it or leave it, their “strong, charismatic leader” is Parker…Gary Cole is a series regular now. 🤷♀️
I watched the first 10 years and then wandered away – thought it had done all it could by that point. Stumbled on to tonight’s show by accident, hadn’t watched in years. Glad I did to close the loop. Seemed obvious to me that Mark Harmon is aging and not the actor he used to be.
Gibbs was the show. Without him they should just head off into the sunset.
Gibbs will be missed!! NCIS will NEVER BE THE SAME!! I have watched EVERY EPISODE, some more than once. He & the team are like family! I do understand that it is just a TV Sow, but it is one of the BEST that has ever been on TV! Love Mark Harmon for staying the full 18 Seasons & the first 4 of the 19 Season. Thanks for the memories!! ❤️❤️😢😢
Sorry to see Gibbs go. They should bring Harm back to replace him. Wouldn’t that be an interesting switch around?
I’m still upset that Harm and Mac haven’t been together all these year. That came out on NCIS:LA
