One soul for sale, slightly used
... dammit. I've fallen for ANOTHER one. We started watching NCIS, and it took me a few episodes to get into it, but we're halfway through the first season now and I'm falling like a ton of bricks. They're all so adorable. Abby is the very definition of awesome, and Gibbs is precisely my kind of crotchety bastard, and his prickly-affectionate relationship with Tony and the rest of his weird little team makes me squee. Help!

I fully blame
I'm like you - I totally love Abby and I'm a sucker for "hard as nails but a softy inside" Gibbs and the way he and his team interact! At first I admit I found Tony kinda annoying but he totally grew on me - likewise at first I wasn't sure about the humour but now I love it to bits. It's a far more quirky show that initial viewing would suggest.. and I love it. :D
I was lucky that, just as I got addicted, the FX channel in the UK was showing two episodes a night on weeknights so I very quickly caught up on lots of episodes! And now I've got the first couple of DVD boxsets sitting in my basket on Amazon, waiting for payday (tomorrow!!) and a decision on whether to splurge or not! :D

I hope you like the later seasons too - I love them best since I started watching from S3, but I know there are poeple who followed the show from the beginning, and are most loyal to the first too. And I wrote this (http://roga.livejournal.com/117887.html) like, three weeks ago, although it contains spoilers up to S4.
In any case: adorable sums it up. Team love!

I had major cognitive dissonance at first with Mark Harmon because I know him from a show in the 80s -- I don't remember what the name of it was, but my mental picture of him is really young and dark-haired, and this is the first thing I've seen him in since. In the first couple episodes it was strikingly weird to see him with gray hair, being the "old man" of the team!
Old man, indeed
No surprise you like NCIS- it's the only CSI-type show with this amount of humor, and it only gets better each season. And the team - regardless of who's on it in any given seasion - dynamic is terrific.
And what's not to like about Harmon, Weatherly and McCallum (talk about old heart-throbs), and the incredible Abby Sciuto. LOVE Abby.

I'm new to lj so I forget things sometimes, your reaction was quite understandable. (Sometimes we need to be reminded with a slap to the back of the head :)

NCIS is how I got sucked into fanfic, LJ and SGA fandom. Had never heard of SGA until I ran into one of

I would love for you to write NCIS/SGA!

And, I know what you mean; I think very nearly every DVD set I've bought in the last two years has been either something I became acquainted with through fic or vids, or something that was recommended to me by someone I met through fandom! They have no idea how much money they make off us!

If the obsession ever ventures forth into the fanfic arena, there's a few good ones I can rec to you.

And I think you're in for some great stuff in seasons to come-- unlike a lot of shows, it only gets better as it goes on, and season 5 has been my favorite so far.

I think the shows that really suck me in are the ones where the actors seem to really like working together; that's one of the things I like about SGA, too.

Oh, yes, NCIS is of the awesome!

And, not to spoil you or anything, but there's plenty of h/c to be had in this show as a general rule... maybe not as much a SPN, but definetly more than SGA.
And I agree, it just keeps getting better as it goes on ;P

Just so you know, you're the reason I bought all the Dresden Files books last year, because you were squeeing so hard about them (and I loved them to bits, too). And now, this?
I've been watching NCIS from the beginning, and for weeks now, I've been pondering whether or not to buy the DVDs. And then, I read this post and all the comments, that reminded me of how much I love it, and what do you think's going to happen in five minutes? Heh. I'm totally blaming it on you.
That show is great; I love the friendship between the characters, and yes, Abby is all kinds of awesome, and I love Tony (though I must confess, I prefer serious!Tony to the goofball he usually shows to the world...)
Welcome to a new fandom. :D

It's a brilliant show, and I'm so excited you've fallen for it too! I don't think any show will topple SGA but it's so much fun! Damn this writer's strike because there's only one new episode left. *pouts*

SGA has my fannish place of honor right now. But I'm definitely enjoying NCIS quite a lot.
NCIS
BTW, thanks for the penguine! It's really cute, and it reminds of my young teenage years when I had a thing for the PENGUINE CONSPAIRECY. (I can't spell at all, can you tell?) I would always think that everywhere there was a penguine, and that you couldn't get away from them. In any case, now I'm into the monkey conspairecy, which is a family joke really. Monkey's, monkey's, everywhere!
I've got to go. Which I could stay and chat but I've things to do, and stuff to work on. Speaking of which, would you read something for me later and tell me if it sucks or not? Thanks again,
Fitzwiggity.

The first seasons were the best IMO. Without giving any spoilers, I think the show floundered a little in S4 and the beginning of S5 (there were some behind-the-scenes conflicts that made the news). But they're getting back on track I think. The personalities really make this show. And to me, Gibbs is really the core of the show. They're all wonderful, but Gibbs makes the show. His father/daughter relationship with Abby, his boss/mentor relationship with his team, his long-time friendship with Ducky.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the seasons as you catch up. :D

It just gets better from the first season onwards. You'll love it.
