I do n't do sitcoms ; I do n't do urban neurotic dramas. I created JAG because it 's the kind of television I like to watch. Besides that, I served four years in the Marine Corps and remain fascinated by the military 's code of ethics -- God, duty, honor, country -- and how, in these rapidly changing times, it still survives. That 's what Harm and Mac, and JAG as a whole, represent. '' Donald P. Bellisario on creating JAG Lieutenant Harmon Rabb, Jr. ( David James Elliott ), a former aviator, is employed by the Navy 's Judge Advocate General Corps, the elite legal division of the United States Navy. In Washington, D.C., Harm is partnered with Lieutenant Meg Austin ( Tracey Needham ), a junior officer with drive and determination. Together, Harm and Meg work alongside Commander Alison Krennick ( Andrea Thompson ), Admiral A.J. Chegwidden ( John M. Jackson ), Ensign Bud Roberts ( Patrick Labyorteaux ), and Lieutenant Caitlin Pike ( Andrea Parker ), as they prosecute and defend the laws of the sea. This season, the team investigate the murder of a female fighter pilot ( `` A New Life '' ), the death of a civilian contractor ( `` Shadow '' ), a training mishap ( `` Desert Son '' ), serial killings at a cemetery ( `` Déjà Vu '' ), and a murder at a Peruvian embassy ( `` War Cries '' ). Also this season, Harm suffers personal losses when his best friend ( `` Pilot Error '' ) and girlfriend ( `` Skeleton Crew '' ) are both killed, Meg faces death when she is critically wounded by an assassin ( `` Hemlock '' ), and Harm is promoted to Lieutenant Commander ( `` Defensive Action '' ). Production In Spring 1996, NBC announced that they were not commissioning JAG for a second season. Donald P. Bellisario states that he had already received offers from CBS and ABC to pick up the series. Bellisario also credits the cancellation with allowing him to create `` the show he 'd always wanted to make '', as NBC had `` wanted action, and ( he had ) wanted a mix of legal ( drama ) and action ''.
