Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

NCIS was a "spinoff" of JAG, which meant they had one or two backdoor pilots that aired on JAG.

I never watched JAG. Was it as good as NCIS, ie, funny, the characters like each other as friends as opposed to potential bed mates, etc.?

I really liked JAG. It's basically a courtroom drama in uniform. It's Bellasario, so it's relatively true to military life and jargon. And it had it's share of funny writing, comic relief. I felt they focused a little too much on the semi-romantic relationship between the two main protagonists towards then end and it nearly ruined the last season in my mind. Still, I watched pretty faithfully, until I discovered Buffy and it couldn't compete with my new love for that TV time slot.

I still miss the Tony-Kate interaction, which was more siblings than potential lovers.

From what I have heard the NCIS spin off is going to be a whole new team.

If it doesn't have Gibbs, I'm not watching. Or Abby. Or Ducky. Yeah, even Tony and Ziva can be there.
Still, I'll check it out. I like Chris O'Donnell, he's turned into a very good actor. I don't even think of him as Robin anymore.
