‘I Prefer Parker To Gibbs’ Fans Continue To Debate The Best NCIS Main Character Years After Mark Harmon’s Exit (& I’m Torn)

For many fans, the best NCIS character is always going to be Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Sadly, Harmon left the series in season 19, and while the show is still going strong and season 22 is currently airing, many wonder if it feels the same as before. Other smart agents like Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) are thankfully still around, and I’m one of the many fans who still enjoys the procedural. However, I understand that many viewers would welcome Gibbs back in a second.

After Gibbs moved to Alaska, Alden Parker (Gary Cole) took over as the Supervisory Special Agent, and fans have some strong feelings about this decision. A few years after Harmon’s departure, fans miss Gibbs and are comparing the two agents.
