Ilya Kuriakin!
You should watch NCIS sometimes, Sail. David McCullough plays the eccentric medical examiner, and sometimes they'll pop up with pictures of Ilya Kuriakin if they need to refer to something mysterious from the doctor's past.
Maybe I've always been here.

Oh, connie, that's great! I tried NCIS a couple of times, because I like shows based on the Navy, but I just didn't cotton to it. It's much overdramatized from what the NCIS folks do. Most of it is busting kids selling pot in the barracks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Officer David: "What was Ducky like when he was younger?"
Gibbs: "He looked like Ilya Kuryakin."

NCIS was great this week. So much pay off for everything from last season.

Also, no Dragnet love?
The 50's version (which was my first procedural) is actually quite good.

I haven't watched it as much past the first two seasons. I miss Kate. I love McGee, but Ziva bothers me. I do give them props, though, for keeping any UST between Tony and Ziva to teasing/borderline harrassment. It tends to suffer from "main character is interested in X! X is doomed!" itis, but it's refreshing to have a sibling-esque vibe between the main characters instead of forcing romance.

I watched the original Dragnet every day after school. Then later Adam-12. Eventually CHiPs. Then I got my own uniform and didn't have to drool over guys on the TV, I could drool over the ones marching next to me.

This year has been interesting between Ziva and Tony. Less sexual subtext and more Ziva encouraging Tony not to lose all of the progress he made in maturity last year when he was in that undercover romance.
