[[File:ncis-poster.jpg|frame| From left to right (For seasons 3-5):<br />[[Military Maverick|Gibbs]], [[Da Chief|Jenny]], [[The Coroner|Ducky]], [[Perky Goth|Abby]], [[Handsome Lech|Tony]], [[Hollywood Nerd|McGee]], [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|and]] [[Badass Israeli|Ziva]].]]
Created by [[Donald P. Bellisario]] and Don McGill, ''NCIS'' is a spinoff of ''[[JAG]]'' that leaped on the [[Forensic Drama]] bandwagon started by ''[[CSI]]'', with some traditional [[Crime and Punishment Series|Crime And Punishment]] and even a bit of [[Spy Drama]] thrown in for good measure. ''NCIS'' (''[[Department of Redundancy Department|Navy NCIS]]'' for its first season) depicts a team of investigators assigned to deal with criminal activity involving Navy personnel and Marines. That means that the entire gamut of crime -- from [[Serial Killer|Serial Killers]] to fraud to international espionage to Unauthorized Absences-- can turn up. This particular team is led by Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a retired Marine gunnery sergeant, and contains (surprise!) a rather colorful collection of detectives and lab workers. The series debuted in September 2003 and is still ongoing.

* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Subverted in S3 Ep14, "Light Sleeper". The initial suspect in the murder of a Korean woman is her Marine husband. Their neighbor claimed she frequently heard them screaming at each other, leading her to believe that husband was abusive. However, the husband reveals to Gibbs that she was the abusive one and proves by lifting up his shirt to reveal a large burn mark where she hit him with an iron. He's actually taken seriously and released.

** In the season eight double episode "Enemies Foreign/Domestic" Tony makes a reference to ''[[The West Wing]]'' by calling McGee "McBartlet". Both Mark Harmon and Michael O'Neill (who guest stars in these episodes) played secret service agents on the show.
** A combination of [[Actor Allusion]] and [[Shout-Out]]: Tony (Mike Weatherly)'s father is played by Robert Wagner. Weatherly met ''NCIS'' producer Donald Bellisario while Weatherly was filming ''The Mystery of Natalie Wood'', in which he played Wood's husband...Robert Wagner.
** In the Episode 'Light Sleeper' while on stake
{{quote|'''Tony:''' Damn, I can't believe this... Mick and Jessica broke up, I'm always the last to know.}}
:::This is just after Michael Weatherly and Jessica Alba broke up.
** A retroactive one: Early in Season 7, a Metro detective who annoys Gibbs is described as having "tugged on [[Justice League Crisis On Two Earths|Superman]]'s cape".
** In the Season 9 episode "Newborn King", Jimmy Palmer, when explaining that his future Father-in-Law, Ed Slater, is visiting the NCIS building, he mentions that the first time he learned that Palmer was marrying his daughter, "[Ed Slater] laughed, and then he cried from laughing too hard". Ed Slater is played by Larry Miller, who himself used the phrase "I laughed, I cried" during his first [[Is This Thing Still On?]] moment as Principal Jindrake in the movie ''[[Max Keeble's Big Move]]''.
* [[Adorkable]]: In ''Jurisdiction'', the CGIS expy of Abby is a cute Asian [[Meganekko]] wearing [[Nerd Glasses]].
