[edit] Premise
海军罪案调查处 is a 电视 series that follows a fictional team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service Major Case Response Team (MCRT) special agents, headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. It is described 由 the actors and producers (on special features on DVD releases in the USA) as being distinguished 由 its comedy elements, ensemble 表演 and character-driven plots.

海军罪案调查处 is the primary law enforcement and counter-intelligence arm of the United States Department of the Navy, which includes the United States Marine Corps. 海军罪案调查处 investigates all major criminal offenses (felonies), those crimes punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice 由 confinement of 更多 than one year, within the Department of the Navy. This can be seen when the “NCIS team” is frequently assigned to high-profile cases such as the death of the President's military aide, a bomb situation on a U.S. Navy warship, the death of a celebrity on a reality 显示 set on a USMC base, terrorist threats, and kidnappings.

The “NCIS team” is led 由 Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon). Gibbs’ team is composed of Special Agent and Senior Field Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly), Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) and Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), who replaced Caitlin 'Kate' Todd (Sasha Alexander) when she was shot 由 Ari Haswari (Rudolf Martin) at the end of season two. Ari himself was then killed 由 his half-sister Ziva in the beginning of season three. The team is assisted in their investigations 由 Chief Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (David McCallum), Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) and Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen).

海军罪案调查处 is currently led 由 Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll). The first Director seen in the series, Thomas Morrow, (Alan Dale) left after a promotion to Deputy Director of DHS. Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) was appointed Director after Morrow; she was killed in a shootout at the end of the fifth season.

Production

Name
Prior to the launch of the first season, advertisements on CBS identified the 显示 as "Naval CIS." 由 the time of the launch of the first episode, 海军罪案调查处 was airing under the name Navy NCIS, the name it held for the entire first season. Since the "N" in 海军罪案调查处 stands for "Naval,” the name Navy 海军罪案调查处 was technically redundant (an example of RAS syndrome). The decision to use this name was reportedly made 由 CBS, over the objections of Bellisario, in order to:

Attract new viewers (particularly those of JAG), who might not know the 海军罪案调查处 abbreviation.
Disambiguate between 海军罪案调查处 and the similarly-themed and similarly-spelled CBS series 犯罪现场调查 and its spinoffs. (The original title, for instance, was often misquoted as "Navy CSI").
After its successful first season, the name of the series was shortened to NCIS.


Filming location
海军罪案调查处 is set in the Washington D.C. area but is filmed in Santa Clarita, California.[4]

The sound stages are in Santa Clarita, California

Crew changes
It was reported in May 2007 that Donald Bellisario would be stepping down from the show.[5] Due to a disagreement with series 星, 星级 Mark Harmon, Bellisario's duties as 显示 runner/head writer were to be tasked to long-time 显示 collaborators, including co-executive producer Chas. Floyd Johnson and Shane Brennan, with Bellisario retaining his 标题 as Executive Producer.[6]
