Gibbs’ Best NCIS Team Just Had A Reunion After 10 Years & I Really Wanted Mark Harmon To Join Them

Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ best NCIS team just had a fun reunion after 10 years, and now I desperately want Mark Harmon to join them. Police procedurals have always been good for long-form storytelling. Some of the longest-running scripted series fall in the category, including NCIS, which is about to enter its 22nd season. One big drawback with this is the tendency to regularly lose cast members over the years. NCIS season 21 no longer had anyone from the original ensemble that kicked off the project in 2003. Somehow, however, the show continues to thrive.

Sure, NCIS has been able to maintain its popularity. But as much as I like the dynamic of Alden Parker’s team, I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been going back to the earliest years of the show. Gary Cole is the perfect leader for this new Major Case Response Team (MCRT) selection, but sometimes, I just miss Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ more serious and quiet approach to the job. I also understand that Gibbs’ effectiveness was dependent on the people he managed. While he spearheaded different teams, there was only one combination that is regarded as NCIS’ best roster.
