I wish Mark Harmon would come back. The best team was Gibbs Dinozo Tim and Ziva

[@jeanieandren8533]

[@margaretdavies8852]

My favorites are Gibbs,Ducky,Abby ,Tony,Ziva ,McGee and Jenny Shepherd

[@MarieMauro-xz8zf]

When he left the show was never the same. We need him back.

[@stacydepoe974]

I was so sad when Abby left as well.

[@christinezeiler]

My favorites are Gibbs, McGee, Tony, Ziva. All the actors as they passed through NCIS left their mark on the series. I remember them all. I loved Ellie, but didn’t like the story of how she left.

[@madelinerodriguez3817]

Gibbs is my favorite. They are all good actors and actress.

[@manjitheera2740]

[@pattymyers5016]

My favorites are Gibbs,Tony, McGee ,,Ziva , Ducky and Jimmy ! I have been a fan since NCIS came on the air !!! I have never missed an episode. I even watch the reruns on a different channel. I LOVE this show. I like the interactions of the characters. The dialogue is very witty and fat passed. You have to pay attention or you miss out .

[@drtreacyhagan1868]

I miss the Ziva-isms. Really loved Gibbs, Ziva, Tony, McGee Jenny, Frank,Ducky and Abby

[@PhylSGood]

Bring him back, he’s the best.

[@user-xw3wy1sw1o]

This is the best news, for NCIS fans. It is one series I can watch over and over. the cast was wonderful together and made the show worth watching.

[@billvandorn5332]

It was always a favorite show with twists and turns and yet the actors pretty much seemed relaxed and compatible for each other capable of exemplifying each other's talents.

[@user-ty4fn4wd7y]

He is mine and the families favorite actor on NCIS TV show, he's a very good and awesome, handsome, and sexy, I can't wait for his coming back on tv show the NCIS. we love him dearly.

[@SantoshGupta-fq5wz]

The show is not the same without Gibbs,Tony,Ziva and Abby Would love to seem them all back They were the life and soul of the show and made it such a widely watched and wel loved shoe

[@RuthJackson-nh2ml]

Always like the show, was sad when Gibbs left, looking forward to the hope of his return in this coming season.

[@jennieclement2811]

We hope he comes back!

[@lissaford06]

Loved this show also liked NCIS New Orleans. One great show. Without Gibbs , don't watch as often, still a good show.

[@sharonduran1619]

I loved when Pam, Mark 's wife was in the show. I thought they would continue on the on screen life.

[@yoursisterslife9515]

He is the show Tony n diva and Abby too

[@angelamrivera7365]

The series is amazing! Mark Harmon is upstanding and as well the NCIS team 🎉

[@eileenfolliett500]

Looking forward to tony coming back

[@plinkochipp]

GIbbs is my favorite because he did not settle for nothing ut the real truth. on the outside he was Old school tough yet on the inside he had a soft and caring hart.

[@peggye4427]

I haven’t watched since Gibbs left

[@jansfield5314]

I miss him!

[@nursenp1]

I was a huge fan of NCIS. I diid stop watching when Mark Harmon left. I am intrigued about a new show might resurface characters that have left. Like everyone else I would look forward to seeing characters Gibbs, Tony, McGee and Ziva and Abby back together again. I agree that Pam Dauber made a great entry into that program and I would enjoy seeing her involved as well.

[@sherylkempf8433]

He was great. I would like him back, but I enjoyed both NCIS and NCIS LA

[@arkybriscoe2087]

Stop watching when he left!

[@laurarossi3746]

Ti prego ritorna saluti dall Italia ❤❤

[@rickmills4801]

When I was in the Navy, the agency was known simply as NIS.

[@anniemedlin1722]

He did a perfect job with his role. Almost like a father. Stern yet loving. Even though we've adjusted to the new characters, Gibs will always be the best. But it was also Tim and Zida, Ducky and Abby that made the show. Which each one leaving it made the show hard to watch. No one can ever take their places. I look forward to the works of Gibbs coming back.

[@JolynnBurkholder-uz6gn]

L miss gibbs on ncis he's the reason l watch the show you need to come back

[@steveclark4291]

Everybody needs to understand that if an actor or actress plays a role for a long time they sometimes gets stereotyped into that role only ! This isn't just children into acting it happens to a lot of them ! When that happens they either burnt out in playing that role or they try to get parts in areas of acting but cannot because of being stereotyped in their old role !

[@MicheleM669]

I have never seen NCIS but like Mark Harmon as an actor

[@joegoldsmith5235]

ABBY was my favorite.

[@quantum1659]

My number 1 show!

[@tracyarmstrong2953]

I saw him first in 240-Robert in 1979 and knew then that he’d be a major star. LOVED him in Reasonable Doubts! He broke my heart in West Wing.

[@onsong7181]

Nowadays I only watch the episodes with Gibbs in.

[@patriciagardiner9468]

Mark Mormon needs to Come back too NCIS so dose Deznos. Abby if posable l loved all of have watched reruns all years over and over

[@c.bailey9546]

My favorites are, Abby, Gibbs, Tony, Magee, Ziva. But I like all of the current actors in the show today. They do a great job with such a hard act to follow.❤

[@MariaDasgracas-jb1nx]

Todos são muito bons com Gibbis e melhor ainda ator favorito

[@alinemouwen7126]

Gibbs is NNCIS Its not the same.

[@belindasanders1719]

I love NCIS. It definitely has a place in this Navy vets heart. I watch and rewatch the past shows. Of course, Gibbs is my favorite character. He always stressed honoring military members.

[@lynnallen1315]

Once he left, the show was over!

[@namcyjennings1710]

Yes bring him back

[@stacydepoe974]

I quit watching the shows he was in once they let him go. It wasn't good anymore

[@dorothydoremus8621]

#SaveNCISHawaii!!

[@kathyrester9519]

I loved the way Gibbs slapped heads &kick butts!!!! Miss him very much.

[@conniehill4747]

They were my favorite team. All we're like family...

[@user-mn2wu4qu1f]

My favorite character of ncis, is pauley perrette( abby), she will always be in my thoughts and heart, I loved her attitude and character, she was and is forever always in my heart❤❤

[@ciancialinda2528]

He's the reason I watched it

[@barbararoller7340]

I still love the show but I miss Gibbs every single episode. I find myself thinking about what Gibbs would say or do in any given situation. He made the show what it is and even in his absence we still think of him and wait for him.

[@lindamarie7429]

I also quit watching when he quit NCIS.

[@debrawooten4158]

Gary Cole does a good job also. I liked Mark on the show and all the others. The show must go on.

[@ronaldbush9023]

I like Parker and it was so good to see Fernell on a recent episode but the aGibbs character was such a major part of the show i do wish there was a way to bring Gibbs Tony Ziva back and selfishly id love to see Abby back even if it was just to say good bye to Ducky. When Tony came to Jimmy in the Lab i was so sure he was just in jimmys imagination but then Tim came in and they all went to Duckys memorial. Its hard to put into words how much of an impact a tv show has on your life over a couple decades. I first experianced it when Mash ended it was like a good friend dying or moving away i know thats kind of korny but it is how it felt.

[@caroljo420]

He just keeps getting better looking with age!!!

[@ellynsymmonds3356]

I’m so far behind because I stopped watching after Tony left, but I realize I need to get back into it😊😊

[@Libra523]

I think they were all great! I especially miss Gibbs and Abby!

[@dannashirley]

My husband was a Navy man who died in February 2003. When NCIS began, I watched it to capture my husband's naval career and I've never quit. Then I watched NCIS LA and NCIS New Orleans. I never got into NCIS Hawaii after the gay characters were introduced. I also never got into NCIS Australia b/c their accents didn't relate well with my hearing problem. I'm so looking forward to the new NCIS coming out soon.

[@cherylbanquer6514]

Bring him back, not just his voice. I love the concept of the new show but would he consider popping in on the old one from time to time? It could be with a connection to one of the old episodes?

[@GinaSimeoli]

I'm❤ Gibbs restinppeace

[@ishaunabernard6147]

Love this movie ❤❤❤

[@Definitely-not-fake-sonic]

I don't watch it after he left

[@ronnaveau4801]

Canada's favorite show,

[@nynomadfjc3907]

Summer School!

[@MayethEnriquez-qr4do]

❤❤❤❤

[@newnewhutchison991]

I just loved ducky

[@cynthiadurant7804]

I haven’t watched the show since he left

[@aliciaknott8109]

I like Vance too. I like how Vance and Gibbs would bump heads but eventually Gibbs would respect his decision. The team miss Gibbs too. The new guy is not the right replacement, he's very boring.

[@namcyjennings1710]

I agree

[@briantayes2418]

Mark really gave this show a unique personality. The addition of Jessica with her gravelly voice was a flaw in the series, I had to plug my ears when she spoke.

[@margs5758]

I have watched Harmon for years before NCIS. Didn't Harmon injure his knee, and that was why his football career ended. Abbey was a great character but she left the show it lost appeal for many when the reason became known. I who followed Jag then went on to watch this show lost interest due to the way she was treated over what Harmon allowed to happen to a crew member. The show will never have the same appeal for this fan.

[@rickroser59]

He should seriously consider returning

[@margaretching5743]

NCIS I personally can't be bothered with it.

[@lwilliams781]

When Gibbs left, i never watched NCIS again 😕

[@ghw7192]

Stoppef watching before Mark left. I preferred NCIS LA.

[@user-mj1iz6um1j]

Love ncis with his team. The new series as good as it is im sorry but i cant watch it , it doesn't have the same vibe for me. Brilliant actor and doesn't he look like his mum ?

[@LesaScott-rj1fd]

Love the series...have watched from the beginning ! Favorites from the shows are Tony, Ziva, Ducky, and the later shows… Jessica Knight and Nic Torres. I enjoy the character development and the unique way the characters interact while solving the latest crime. The writers should be commended for the cutting edge topics and their abilities to keep us coming back for more each week. 28:41 28:41

[@joannbradley8465]

I thought he would return for Duckie’s service

[@annezone6b494]

Stopped watching NCIS shortly after he left it wasn't the any fun anymore

[@jeffreycrawley1216]

Considering the retirement age at the real NCIS is 57 then being 72 it's probably time to go or order up a walker. Of course David McCallum was 90 but really didn't look it.

[@trishb6895]

Royal Caribbean

[@chandradeyalsingh4793]

Gibbs is ncis

[@user-nv3mz4st1d]

They don't make them like that character, when he left on scene 19 I had a box of tissues

[@JohnL1950]

Once Gibbs left ncis I stopped watching shortly after.

[@newnewhutchison991]

I stopped watching it when denozo and the chemist left and the Israel girl left

[@jarenseeto8947]

Get rid of NCIS Hawaii and NCIS Sydney. They're terrible. Bring back NCIS LA or the next part of that when they go look for Hetty.

[@rimasappington6217]

My favorite was Abby. I stopped watching when she left.

[@nunyabizness296]

Abby was my favorite. When she left I stopped watching the show .

[@judithnagle5809]

Don’t like Vance not a good actor in NCIS

[@judysmith509]

Actually, my only two favorites are NCIS LA and NCIS New Orleans. I don’t watch the others at all.

[@MarieStover]

I did not like him and thought he was responsible for other actors leaving.
