‘NCIS’ Ratings Decline For Season 16 After Pauley Perrette And Mark Harmon Drama

You need to check the ratings again. They are about the same as last year. They didn’t take that “BIG” of a hit since Pauley left!

I love ncis. I’m in the 49 and up demographic. What about us. Yes I miss abby. I miss her character a lot. But maybe one day I’ll get to meet her at vsu. That would be awesome seeing how I live in valdosta. Just because people leave a show doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop watching it. And as I said before I am in the 49 and about demographic. So it would be nice if you showed numbers on us also. We even watch reruns.. it makes no never mind to me.

Maybe it’s better when they cancel NCIS.
And then take NCISLA the timeslot.
That would be a good lead in for the other shows.

When you start breaking up cast members, which the show has done so much of , the fans become disappointed,
Nov these are two grown people.
Act like it. Your both professionals.
When Cote DE Pablo and Michael Weatherly, left people stopped watching, the chemistry between Gibbs and Abby, is so precious
You do what you feel is best for you. Perhaps NCIS, has come to a end.

Okay, I’m sure the show is declining in the ratings. Its 16 years old, that’s rather unsurprising. And I dont doubt that part of it is the exit of Pauley last year (though I personally love Kasie and most everything about the show still, if not to the same degree). But again, I’d really like to know how much everything is slipping in the ratings because like, how many still watch things live? Okay, yeah, DVR and Hulu or in this case CBS online. But traditional viewership is declining overall, and hell, if the show doesn’t get a 17th season? It’s still gonna be remembered as one of the longest running television series that continuously got dumped on by critics and “fans” a like. (I’m not saying those who dump on the show aren’t like “true fans”, I mean more like, if yah hate it so much, why are you still watching? But hey, I gave up on that question years ago.) I still enjoy the show. I’ve never seen it as somehow dynamic or intelligent or anything beyond a procedural where the investigations were anything more than ways for us to get to kno the characters. Yes, it’s been slipping, and the last two exits have sucked (Pauleys, but with the rumored drama I’m not actually going to share my true feelings, but Tony’s was terrible and both Michael and the character deserved better.) But it’s kinda always been mindless fun, and I still find it that. And quite a few friends still watch it, though not all. Kinda like I dont watch NCIS LA anymore, I grew out of it. But hey, to each their own

There are no more stories. The writing is now pedestrian. Why does the “Abby” replacement have to be Abby 2.0? Casting the replacement was weak. Cast is fine, stories are very lame. I actually turned off the episode first week of October. Boring.

It’s because of poor casting. Nick is a jerk, Jack has so many problems of her own how could she have been hired by NCIS, and now that goofy girl to replace Abby. I don’t care to watch it anymore. Sad.

The real reason for the decline in ratings started with the loss of actors’ Cote de Pablo as Ziva David and Michael Weatherly as Anthony DiNozzo. Their on screen chemistry was the high point of the show that kept so many people watching each week. Not excluding Pauley Perrette as Abby.
Unfortunately, I have to agree. The writers have lost their focus. The show is not as interesting and captivating as it used to be. I applaud the current and new actors for their determination to work with the scripts they are given. CBS definitely needs to regroup. I miss the 80’s and 90’s. They had the best writers during that time. I will miss this show. Hopefully NCIS will end with some kind of remembrance.

If Ms. Perrette feels physical assaults had occurred she should’ve come forward at the time or come forward now. All of this vague innuendo only serves to create drama, in a Drama. She chose to leave, so put it in the rearview mirror and move on. I still like NCIS. I haven’t watched all these years because of Pauly Perrette. I’ve watched because of Mark Harmon and the chemistry among cast, new or old. What a shame that innuendo & drama have to even interfere with 1 of the few good to shows left.

I think that it is still a great show. I loved Dinozo, Ziva, Abby, and now I’m getting used to the other characters.

Its because the writers have gotten sloppy and predictable…if you can figure out the ending in the 1st 15 minutes that’s sad…don’t know if the writers have gotten complacent, or just don’t care, its showing..you can’t act with a terrible script..

The reason for the decline isn’t the Parette/Harmon drama it’s because Abbey left and replaced her with that goofy girl…

it is sad when people have so much talent and cannot be aware of the importance of being thankful how much those of us who watch admire you enjoy seeing your talent come out each week.
