Apparently the answer is yes.

quote:

NCIS’s Mark Harmon Is the World’s Biggest TV Star

Don’t tell him, but Mark Harmon is a big deal. That’s what happens when you’re the star of NCIS, a drama with ratings that rival Sunday Night Football and The Big Bang Theory.

...While it may not be a show you watch, nearly 20 million people tune in every week (8 million more than the average audiences for Scandal and Modern Family), a number that skyrockets to 35 million when you factor in those who watch it in syndication on USA.

Cheap to produce, they can recycle the plotlines over and over, and lowbrow middle America eats it up.

the original NCIS was a #1 rated show for years I think, that said it's best days are behind it, and I don't care much for the new spinoffs at all.

the way they spin shows off of stuff like NCIS and CSI reminds me of how Activision slaps the Call of Duty name on every single FPS they make even thought they really aren't connected story wise.

Because NCIS (and CBS shows in general) is like catnip for old people. They can't get enough of that shite.
