Item description for NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Complete Second Season by Mark Harmon...

Produced by Donald Bellisario (JAG), NCIS follows the workings of investigators at the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Led by the wise Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), a crack investigator with no qualms about bending the rules to find his answers, the team takes on cases involving terrorism, murder, espionage, and international arms smuggling. Gibbs is aided by homicide detective Anthony Dinozzo (Michael Weatherly), forensic scientist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), and computer expert Timothy McGee (Sean Murray). This collection presents the series' second season in its entirety.


Outline
NCIS takes the CSI formula, throws in a good dose of JAG, and comes up with an entertaining series that takes advantage of the actors' likeability. The season begins with the introduction a couple new regulars--agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and assistant medical examiner Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen). And one cast member departs the show by the end of the season. The six-disc set includes all 23 episodes, which aired on CBS during 2004-2005. The show's sophomore year begins with "See No Evil," in which a Navy officer (guest star David Keith) is forced to embezzle millions of dollars, or risk having his wife and blind daughter killed by a kidnapper (played by Tom Cruise's cousin William Mapother). Led by Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), the crack NCIS team comes through to save the day and reveal the mastermind behind the twisted case. Gibbs doesn't display much more emotion this season than he did in the show's debut, but he's just as sarcastic (and even tempered) when being threatened. During one altercation, the mafia threatens to kill his father, brothers and uncles. Non-plussed, Gibbs calmly says that while he has no male relatives still alive, he'd be happy to fax over the numbers of his three ex-wives.

With the help of his ace medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum from The Man from U.N.C.L.E), Gibbs and his team are almost invincible when it comes to solving complicated crimes. Whether he's piecing together the bones of a body, or performing an autopsy on a crisply burnt poodle, Ducky is matter-of-fact as he talks to his dead "clients." Of his nervous but eager assistant Jimmy, Ducky notes, "He means well, but sometimes I have an overwhelming urge to slap him." This season, viewers get to see the romantic (and slightly gross) side of Ducky as he briefly romances a doctor half this age. Also on hand to aid (and annoy) Gibbs are happy-go-lucky Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), former Secret Service agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander), and forensics expert Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette), who can solve anything if you say "please" and bring her a Big Gulp to sip. Look for a gentle guest appearance by Charles Durning as a Medal of Honor recipient who wants to turn himself in for killing his best friend and fellow comrade during World War II. While the plot twists won't surprise most viewers, the acting, writing, and spirit of the episode leaves the viewer feeling satisfied. --Jae-Ha Kim

Reviews - What do customers think about NCIS Naval Criminal Investigative Service - The Complete Second Season?

	Great entertainment!!!  Apr 27, 2010
I love this TV show!!! The plots/mysteries are great and the banter between characters is hilarious! I can't wait to watch Season 3!!!
	NCIS 2nd Season is great  Apr 21, 2010
This was a great follow up to season 1. The final episode is a stunning end to a consistently good season of episodes. The finale will definitely leave you wanting to see season 3, if you haven't seen it before.
	Annoying characters, but great mysteries  Apr 20, 2010
Often I wanted to fast forward through lame banter between the male and female sidekicks who love to hate each other. It's a shame that cuts into really good mysteries.
	Excellent Service  Apr 19, 2010
Received this product in a timely manner. It was in good condition. The recipient tells me she enjoyed watching it very much. Will buy from this seller again.
	Excellent show, DVD set could be better  Apr 11, 2010
While the writing in particular is superb for this series, along with equally great acting and filmmaking, delivering characters who from the start are well-drawn and possessed of depth beyond the thickness of the screen, the DVD set of the first season is lacking in some regions. Given that someone interested in purchasing the set is already surely a fan of the show, I will not go any further in my praise of the cast and creators. However, there is only one episode (the Pilot) which has a commentary. While it is provided by the show's creator, Donald Bellisario, there are a number of great episodes in this season which I would find a commentary suitable. There are three short special features on the sixth disc, mainly dealing with the process of casting the characters and developing the show. Another significant flaw in my opinion is the lack of subtitles. The description of the set here on this site notes that the discs are subtitled, but this is not the case (neither the setup menu nor the subtitle button for my player gives the option). Also, to watch the episodes, you have to select each episode on the disc individually; there is no "play all" feature. I like to see the menu once only until I've seen the entirety of the shows on the disc. Still, the menus are not overdone with annoying transitions between screens like some movies and shows use, and the quality of the video is at least as good as the original broadcasts. I recommend the set for those who are fans of the show, but for those with hearing difficulties who want subtitles, this set won't suffice.
