  It doesn’t feel like the audience that drives streaming subscription revenue is the same audience that watches NCIS on CBS. I’m guessing Paramount is basing this decision on streaming numbers of other NCIS properties on their channel?

    I feel like you’re right on that. Is anyone going to sub to Paramount+ for a spinoff of NCIS?

    Wonder if this is more to try and make them a better merger target?

    You would be surprised, the huge chunk of subscribers are boomers, who watch shows like this ad nauseum on repeat.

    But see, they have to make all the money, so they’re gonna try to force that demographic onto the platform with what I can only assume they think is a show that will push them to subscribe. Or at least say they tried to and when it doesn’t work fire everyone except the people responsible for the decision making and write off the losses.

  Whaaaaaat, OG NCIS is still on TV. I can only assume because thirsty old widows like my grandma (RIP) have a thing for Mark Harmon.

    Gibbs is no longer on the show. I believe he is still behind the scenes but he hasn’t been on screen for a few years now.

      The only original member let’s McGee. I stopped watching once “Bingo Bob” took over the team, so he might have left too.

    I watched the first few seasons and its not too bad, but they have a bunch of spinoffs already. I think ncis hawaii just started in the last year or two.

      Wikipedia tells me four spin-offs, plus this new one, plus another about young Gibbs. Jeebus, that’s a lot of money.

      I like to watch old syndicated shows when I can’t sleep. NCIS isn’t old enough yet, but someday I am going to have a solid decade of snooze fodder.
