As NCIS begins its newest season, the best thing any fan of this wildly popular TV drama can have in his DVD collection is NCIS: Season Seven. You need the seventh season for two reasons: the first, so you can re-watch each episode and catch all those moments, nuances, humor, and action-filled sequences without the irritation of commercials; and second, so you can be completely up-to-date on what’s going on during the eighth season.
This award nominated and winning show boasts a strong and ever-growing following among viewers both young and old. The critical and popular success of NCIS speaks volumes for this drama – one that centers around a crew of Special Agents with the Naval Criminal Investigative Services.
One of main appeals of NCIS is its ensemble of cast members that works so well together, showing true chemistry and compatibility in acting. It’s easy for any viewer to feel that this cast is a real group of investigators, with all of their own quirks, working on solving murders – often ones that are rather grisly. Mark Harmon leads the cast, which is rounded out by such loved regulars as Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and Cote de Pablo.
NCIS: Season Seven opens with a rescue mission that is as suspenseful as it is emotional, leading to the team’s rocky reunion and reconciliation with their formerly captive colleague. As time moves on, episodes highlight the season with in-flight drama, a guest appearance by Robert Wagner, some mystery revolving around the relationship between Ziva and Tony, and a deadly encounter between Gibbs and a member of the Mexican drug cartel, leaving each viewer hanging at the end of the last episode, and waiting impatiently to see what happens next.
All in all, season seven of NCIS does not disappoint in any way and is a must-have for NCIS fans, and also fans of good, solid TV drama. The bonus is being able to watch each episode free from the interruption of commercials, and to watch them one after another so you can get the full story of season seven in a matter of hours rather than in a matter of months.
Bonuses to the NCIS: Season Seven DVD collection include a cast roundtable; commentaries by actors, guests, and directors and producers of the show; graphics, and music and sound. These added bonuses, plus others, round out the seventh season by shedding light on what was going on behind the scenes during production of NCIS.
Having completed seven highly successful seasons, and readying for another season of mystery, levity, and drama, NCIS remains a staple of the CBS lineup, and a staple for weekly TV viewers who crave a show that is smart, sometimes funny, and full of true personality. The good guys always win out in the end, but not without a fight. Justice is served, but often with twists and turns along the way.
As the holiday season nears, consider gifting yourself with the seventh season of NCIS on DVD. Or give NCIS: Season Seven to a friend who can’t get through a week without catching NCIS – either the newest episode or a rerun in syndication. This is a must-have show for your home theater.
