Hilarious Praise For NCIS Which I Think Is A Put-On

I think Walt Brasch is fucking around with his praise for NCIS, but bringing up Jim Garner clouds it a bit.  I mean, NCIS?  Really?  No fucking way.  Wasn't NCIS a spin-off of JAG, the show where the guy was a Navy lawyer and SEAL and F-18 pilot and Naval Intelligence officer and shit who saved the world every week in 44 minutes?  I never actually saw it, but I heard from a reliable source that old ladies loved JAG the same way they used to love Magnum P.I.  Is NCIS really the top show on the tee vee in America?  I've never seen that show either, but I get the feeling we're fucking fucked if that is what is popular.  NCIS?  Jeez.
