OMG! Any of the NCIS fans out there? Did you watch last week's new episode? Have you been following the program from the beginning...by that I mean, the first season? If you have, you'll know just what I mean by 'this is the best episode' in the history of the program. AND it's a two-parter! I've been waiting a whole week to see the conclusion. This storyline has been going on for years. And my dear "AB's" [Abby] knows!!! The two, Abby and Special Agent Gibbs has had a wonderful father/daughter-like relationship throughout the program, and now.........well, now!! Ho boy. What'll happen? I am on pins and needles. Will it all end here? Will Gibbs be found guilty? Will Abby have to tell the truth. Will NCIS find out? Will all his team...well, what's gonna happen next? Oh my oh my!! I'm sure this'll be the last for the season. They're gonna make us wait a whole summer season to find out. I just know it!!

You can watch this episode from last week here. For free, if you missed it. And the 2nd part, the conclusion, will be aired on CBS, Tuesday, 7PM CDT. Guess where I'll be?

A few have asked me who my favorite is on the program. Well, I tellya, it's a toss up between three... Abby and Tony and one that shows up infrequently, Mike Franks. I love Abby for her intelligence and her style. In fact, when I was at the mall that is being renovated here in town, I went into a new shop, called "Hot Topic". Altho, my first impression of the establishment was 'teenage'....I happened to look a bit closer to their stock and realized that the clothes and accessories are "Abby". Sure 'nough, I read then that a lot of her clothes that she wears on the program IS from Hot Topic. If ever I want to wear a dog collar I'll know just where to find one for humans!! Oh and the time she dressed up as Marilyn Monroe on a Halloween special for NCIS...wow. Amazing transformation. Besides, Abby, in real life IS a specialist in forensics!! She graduated from college with honors in that field.

Then, there is Tony. I love his caddy demeanor. He can put his own foot in his mouth so many times. Actually, I consider him the comedy relief of the program. His antics, his love of movies, his true love at one time on the program...he played so very well a man in love. He can be serious, and he can be funny. I think my favorite time he did so well was when the power went out over the city ---and there he was, trying to get the video prompter up with the remote and it was actually done manually. If you didn't see that episode, you missed out on some great hilarity. And the 'old duffer'...Gibbs, showed the young squirts how to run a mimeograph machine found in the archives. That was a hoot too. Oh ya, and of course Tony considers himself a 'ladies' man'...and once when they were out in the field doing their job a couple of young boys told Tony "There's the naked lady"...Tony almost ripped his own head off turning his neck to see her....it was really just a woodsy area. Again, you had to see that episode. The man, Tony, is just funny.

Mike Franks was Gibbs' old partner, former United States Marine, now retired and living in Mexico. I love to look at him. His 'gruff' style. I love his attitude and strengths, I really like his voice and character. He is a brilliant man and enjoying what he's accomplished and what his life is like now.

Next in line would have to be Ducky. The Medical Examiner. Why? Just 'cause. I like his brilliance, I like his accent...and I like him from way long ago.

No one has asked me my least favorite tho...I actually don't have a least favorite. They're all good in their own rights. I thought at one time I didn't care for Kate. She was killed off one season. I couldn't understand why the directors of the program had her wearing dresses and skirts some times? A Field Agent? Wearing skirts? I don't think so. Actually, come to think of it...she WAS the least favorite of mine. She was hired on by Gibbs as an 'ex presidential aide'...she was actually quite dense in a lot of things. Then, I also thought I'd miss the field director....she was killed in a gunfight in the desert. And I didn't care for her replacement, Leon...but through the years, he has 'grown on me'.
