Jag? Give me the abyss.

I liked the JAG spinoff but after they killed off Agent Todd it went downhill except for the episode with Abigail Breslin and the one near Halloween where the bad guys had kidnapped a little girl in an attempt to force her mom to give them the passwords for the accounts of the company where she worked. And any episode where Ziva kicked butt was also good to watch. I do love South Americans portraying bad ass Jewish girls. There is only so much variety you can get from the situations these shows put themselves in and then it starts to repeat, like the last 11 years of Big Bang Theory.

Missed it by that much!
Thes concepts are almost as good as anything that made it to TV, and better than some!

I’ll watch anything with a hip group of groovy kids fighting The Man.

The only thing I remember about “Jag” is the show where Catherine Bell wore the bikini… ☺
