Most TV showrunners can only dream of the longevity of NCIS. In a television landscape where cancelations are more common than renewals, the military police procedural television series continues to fascinate viewers. For over 22 years, the show has largely fulfilled its commitment to be entertaining and clever as it takes us through the adventures of a team of special agents working for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). The unit labeled the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) handles crimes related to the United States Navy and Marine Corps (USMC), and their associated branches of government.
