Leroy Jethro Gibbs, is that you?

  At first I thought you were kidding. I had to look up this person had never watched NCIS and we do have some eerie resemblances. I served in the same time-frame as the fictional character and have some of the same background, though different branch. Suffered the same young tragedy except I had no other family at the time. Very similar training. That show has 19 seasons. Why was it so popular? I've only seen the meme from the dueling-hackers from that show.

    The show has been very fortunate in its casting...the characters are likeable and the actors do a good job of portraying them. I think it helps that it's military-related without being militaristic and a law enforcement show that isn't terribly sympathetic to local law enforcement, without also being about the FBI (and even the recurring FBI character is sometimes played for comic relief).

      I think you've convinced me. It looks like the first 15 seasons are on netflix. Maybe I'll binge-watch it. [Edit] Already on S01E02. I like Gibbs.

        Well, I wasn't going to mention that at first, but yes, everyone loves Gibbs.

        I've just recently rewatched the first 15 or so seasons, and it's interesting to note how it tracks the changes in technology (personal, at least) over the two decades.
