My most favorite television program is CBS' TV series "NCIS" because of (1) my personal experience and (2) the script:
The Real World
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is the U.S. Department of the Navy primary security, counter-intelligence, counter-terrorism, and law enforcement agency. When I worked for the U.S. Consulate General in Japan, one of my works was to assist the port visit by the U.S. 7th Fleet ships with the agents from the NCIS and Japanese police.
The U.S. 7th Fleet helps ensure the security of the huge region - from the Kuril Islands in the north to the Antarctic in the south, and from the International Date Line to the 68th meridian east, which runs down from the India-Pakistan border - which includes many key countries like Russia, the People's Republic of China, North and South Koreas, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, and Pakistan.
There are 60-70 ships, 200-300 aircraft and 40,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel assigned to the fleet. The seventeen ships, from aircraft carrier/flag ship to guided-missile destroyer/cruiser/mine sweeper, station at the two mother-ports in Japan. And one of their tasks is to get the understanding of its presence in the region and support from the peoples in those countries through port visit - with full media exposure and open to the public on board.
There were not much homicide like the TV series episode, but were lots of matters leading to the lawful problem. I handled 30-40 port visits, so the NCIS was very close to me.
CBS TV Series
The cast are very unique. Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly and Sean Murray are good stars. Pauley Perrette and David McCallum are very exotic, which I like very much. I still remember well that McCallum played a role of Illya Kuryakin, a Russian-born agent, in the 1960's TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." with Robert Vaughn. Amazing, he is still an incumbent star.
The tempo and technique of every moving scene (pan from left to right, and from right to left) is very good and scenario is excellent. Thank you, the cast and crew. I have been enjoying it! #YS
