There have already been a lot of “NCIS” brand series. One of them is on now, set in Sydney, Australia.
So wasn’t it time for an origins series, like “Star Trek”? Well, that wish is being fulfilled.
“NCIS Origins” sounds like it will “NCIS The Wonder Years” or “Young Jethro.” It’s all about Mark Harmon’s Jethro Gibbs character and how he became head of NCIS. The producer is nepo-baby Sean Harmon who’s getting his first producing credit. His mother is Pam Dawber, aka Mindy. Mork was not involved.
I guess the show is set in the 70s and early 80s. Mark Harmon will narrate, a la Jim Parsons with “Young Sheldon” or Daniel Stern and “The Wonder Years.” Young Jethro will look back at his early days of solving crimes in his Boy Scout troop and getting kidnapped at college football games.n
If “NCIS Origins” works, then — like “Yellowstone” — there will be “NCIS 1925” and so on. This is what you want, America, and this is what you will get.
