‘NCIS’ Kicks off Season 19 With the Search for Gibbs (PHOTOS)
While fans may know that Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) survived his boat exploding in the Season 18 finale, it sounds like the NCIS team is going to be a bit in the dark about just what’s going on when the fall season begins. Fortunately, Pam Dawber is returning as investigative journalist Marcie Warren, and she can clue them in on some of what they don’t know.
“As the NCIS team searches for Gibbs after wreckage from his boat is discovered, they find out he was tracking a serial killer with journalist Marcie Warren (Pam Dawber), who wrote an exposé on him,” the logline for the NCIS Season 19 premiere, “Blood in the Water,” reads. And that episode title has us a bit worried!
After all, while we did see him swimming away after his boat exploded in the final moments of Season 18, prior to that, we did wonder if the episode would end with him still floating in the water. And even though he’s alive, who knows if he’s injured?
When NCIS returns, the team won’t just be down Gibbs (who was still suspended at the end of Season 18). Emily Wickersham has left, with Ellie Bishop off on an undercover assignment. But Special Agents Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) will have help from Jessica Knight (Katrina Law, now a series regular), with whom they worked after she lost her entire REACT team.
Scroll down for a look at “Blood in the Water” as the team searches for Gibbs.

I think that if the show wants to survive , it needs to get back Tony D. and Ziva.
-
G
I am sad though that David McCallum is now recurring status and not main credit
-
P
I think it would interesting to bring in agent Pride from NCIS NEW ORLEANS to help locate Gibbs.
-
O
Bring back NO!

I think moving the show to Monday's at 9pm is one mistake, putting in the new man another mistake, new gal should be ok we will see, seems like someone is trying to down grade this show, you start messing with something good , they always destroy it. Moving to a 9pm spot is not good. GIBBS I hope will.stay, but I understand him wanting part time..please don't destroy this show...too many stupid shows on now. Plus too many FBI shows
-
G
I agree with you completely
I hope they're not gonna destroy the show
I watched this show many time and keep watching it over & over I love it beside there's no good shows out there anymore

Boo Katrina law I wish bishop and Torres would stay. Together on th show by emily

I never really warmed up to Bishop and I didn't like the thought of her with Torres!

Can't stand Katrina Law, so that takes away some of the show's appeal.
-
G
Super excited to see Katrina Law join the cast! She's awesome in everything she's been in and super nice in real life!
-
O
I'd love a romance between Gibbs and Marcie, but can do nicely without Katrina Law and her sneering countenance.
-
C
I really don't know what to think about Gibbs leaving. I have watched the show in it's entirety to many times to count anymore. When Netflix stopped getting new seasons I got cbs.com ( now Paramount ). I have continued to watch every episode over and over again.

G
Yes I to did same paramount plus I hope the writers see our posts and brig zeva back with Toni

Ho hum. I do like McGee, I look forward to the- former "probie" leading the team. I just want them to deal with "case of the week" situations.

Gary Cole needs to get lost,he has ruin every show he has been in, he is not a good fit.

The thing that happens to shows that tend to be as GREAT as NCIS is…they have a long life and once that happens, the writers run out of things to write. I mean this in a nice way but how many times can you rewrite kidnappings, terrorist, bombings etc without having to change the actors around to make it interesting.
I’ve been a fan with this show since day one…. Hated to see the Favs killed off and leave but that happens. I’m still hanging in there until the plug is pulled. It’s been a great show !
-
O
Not the same since Ziva left. Not sure how it survives without Mark Harmon.
-
G
I just noticed that they replaced "Bishop" with a "Knight"!
-
P
Excited about the idea of searching for Gibbs and having Marcie back. Also love Katrina Law in everything i've seen her in, it'll be nice to have her here especially since Bishop is gone.
-
O
If Gibbs is coming back, full-on, everything will be OK. As Tony once said, “Everybody wants Gibbs approval.” He’s the glue that makes the other characters work, no matter who comes on!
