The concept and characters were initially introduced in two episodes of the CBS series JAG ( season eight episodes 20 and 21 : `` Ice Queen '' and `` Meltdown '' ). The show, a spin - off from JAG, premiered on September 23, 2003, on CBS. To date it has aired fourteen full seasons and has gone into broadcast syndication on the USA Network. Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill are co-creators and executive producers of the premiere member of the NCIS franchise. It is the second longest - running scripted, non-animated U.S. primetime TV series currently airing, surpassed only by Law & Order : Special Victims Unit ( 1999 -- present ), and is the 7th longest - running scripted U.S. primetime TV series overall. NCIS was originally referred to as Navy NCIS during season one ; `` Navy '' was later dropped from the title as it was redundant ( the `` N '' in `` NCIS '' stands for `` Naval '' ). In season six, a two - part episode led to a spin - off series, NCIS : Los Angeles. A two - part episode during the eleventh season led to a second spin - off series, NCIS : New Orleans. While initially slow in the ratings, barely cracking the Top 30 in the first two seasons, the third season showed progress, consistently ranking in the top 20, and by its sixth season, it became a top five hit, having remained there since. In 2011, NCIS was voted America 's favorite television show in an online Harris Poll. The series finished its tenth season as the most - watched television series in the U.S. during the 2012 -- 13 TV season. On February 29, 2016, NCIS was renewed for its fourteenth and fifteenth seasons. The fifteenth season premiered on Tuesday September 26, 2017. Maria Bello joined the cast as a series regular from episode four, replacing outgoing series regular Jennifer Esposito.

In real life, the field office is based at the nearby Joint Base Anacostia - Bolling while the Navy Yard is home to the museum and several military commands within the Department of the Navy. It is described by the actors and producers ( on special features on DVD releases in the United States ) as being distinguished by its comedic elements, ensemble acting, and character - driven plots. The NCIS is the primary law enforcement and counterintelligence arm of the United States Department of the Navy, which includes the United States Marine Corps. NCIS investigates all major criminal offenses ( felonies ) -- for example, crimes punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice by confinement of more than one year -- within the Department of the Navy. Plot Whenever a crime is committed involving Navy or Marine personnel, the Washington - based Major Case Response Team -- an elite arm of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service -- spearheads the investigation. The team, led by laconic investigator Leroy Jethro Gibbs ( Mark Harmon ), has included Caitlin Todd ( Sasha Alexander ), Anthony DiNozzo ( Michael Weatherly ), Timothy McGee ( Sean Murray ), Ziva David ( Cote de Pablo ), Eleanor Bishop ( Emily Wickersham ), Alexandra Quinn ( Jennifer Esposito ), and Nicholas Torres ( Wilmer Valderrama ). Over the course of the series, they are further assisted by allies both foreign and domestic, including Dr. Donald Mallard ( David McCallum ), Dr. Jimmy Palmer ( Brian Dietzen ), forensic specialist Abby Sciuto ( Pauley Perrette ), British intelligence officer Clayton Reeves ( Duane Henry ), and successive NCIS Directors Jennifer Shepard ( Lauren Holly ) and Leon Vance ( Rocky Carroll ).

By the time of the launch of the first episode, NCIS was airing under the name Navy NCIS, the name it held for the entire first season. Since the `` N '' in NCIS stands for `` Naval '', the name `` Navy NCIS '' was redundant. The decision to use this name was reportedly made by CBS, over the objections of Bellisario, to : Attract new viewers ( particularly those of JAG ), who might not know the NCIS abbreviation Distinguish between NCIS and the similarly themed and similarly spelled CBS series CSI and its spinoffs. ( The original title, for instance, was often misquoted and parodied as `` Navy CSI '', something the show itself referenced in the first episode. ) Flair From the season - two episode `` Lt. Jane Doe '' onwards, the series began showing two - second - long black - and - white clips. These clips are shown at the beginning of every segment depicting the last two seconds of that segment, a segment being the five or six portions of the show meant to be separated by commercials. In the season - three premiere, `` Kill Ari ( Part I ) '', a freeze - frame shot was also used with the very end of most episodes turned into a freeze frame, as well. Crew changes It was reported in May 2007 that Donald Bellisario would be stepping down from the show. Due to a disagreement with series star Mark Harmon, Bellisario 's duties as showrunner / head writer were to be given to long - time show collaborators, including co-executive producer Chas. Floyd Johnson and Shane Brennan, with Bellisario retaining his title as executive producer. In fall 2009, Gary Glasberg joined the crew and became the new `` day - to - day '' runner of NCIS, as Shane Brennan had to focus on his new show, the spin - off NCIS : Los Angeles. On September 28, 2016, Glasberg died in his sleep at the age of 50. On April 5, 2016, long - time director Dennis Smith announced he had completed his final episode as part of the NCIS crew, though to which episode he was referring was not specified. Episodes Main article : List of NCIS episodes On February 29, 2016, the series was renewed for a fourteenth and fifteenth season. As of November 7, 2017, 337 episodes of NCIS have aired.
