Talk:List of NCIS episodes

message: I read somewhere that the JAG pilot 2-parter was edited down into a single episode and aired during one of the regular seasons (presumably the first season). Can anyone confirm that? If true, it should be noted. 23skidoo 21:40, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  deleted pages 

message: Some edits from an anonymous IP have resulted in some new episodes in season 4, as well as some season 5?  The edits have something wrong with the formatting, as well.  Can anyone verify that this is not some kind of April fools joke?  Where did this info come from?  The same user put a section in the show's main article about a new character that supposedly replaces Gibbs, giving his name as Mark Thompson.  He also blanked out the article on the actual Mark Thompson, Director-General of the BBC, since that is the name of this alleged character.  If this information is correct, then fine.  I don't know if it's true or not, so I'm not going to touch it.  ----Steve 20:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

As much as I don't like using WP:V for every possible info on Wikipedia, if information is given in articles about things people cannot check (for example by watching the episodes in question), a reliable source has to be cited in favor of it.

replies: text: The changes were made to the season articles by another editor just recently. This is consistent with many other shows and I don't see an issue with it. The column is titled appropriately ("U.S. viewers (millions)") so having "million" on each line is redundant. --AussieLegend (talk) 04:24, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed it because it is atypical and because of the same reason you give, it is harder to read, except that i find it harder to read with the repeating "million". Not everyone has a monitor with a resolution that allows that much content on a single row of a table and having million on each and every line forces squishing of the other columns at non-HD resolutions more than is necessary to convey the information. It is a bunch of numbers. That i do not disagree with. The heading is there to inform one what the numbers are about. Having "million" after each total viewers number would be equal to having "Episode" before each episode number because many shows these days use # and № in the heading (i'm not in favour of that). The accepted exception to this is when the story is by one person or group and the actual script is written by not exactly the same people and then there is used "Story by" and "Teleplay by" in the "Written by" column. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 05:40, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The title might make you think, "What is this guy trying to get us to do now?" but after looking at the colors that define each season of NCIS here on Wikipedia, and looking at the colors that match the NCIS DVDs, I personally believe that it makes more sense if the colors were to match the colors of the DVDs (not that it really matters, but I myself like the idea). I have looked at other series on television on Wikipedia and noticed that many different television shows have different colors for each season, so I figure this should not make too much of a difference if I were to introudce this to Wikipedia. If I were to create a list of colors for the seasons they would be:
Introductory
Season 1 
Season 2 
Season 3 
Season 4 
Season 5 
Season 6 
Season 7 
Season 8 
Season 9 TBD, for now if this was to pass, I would change it because the lime green would not mix well seeing Season 8's color. 
And yes, if this were to pass, I understand that this would change not only the layout of this article, but the layout of every season's article and possibly a few other articles. 
However, do not think of this as some unnesessary idea by a crazy fan, I just think this is a good alternate, as I seriously don't know where Wikipedia got the colors for the seasons they have on now. 96.242.200.174 (talk) 01:39, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
