Series overview

Episodes

Introductory episodes

The program and its characters are introduced during the eighth season of JAG. The JAG episodes, "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown", served as pilot episodes for the show. The character Special Agent Vivian Blackadder (Robyn Lively) does not appear in the series because producer Donald Bellisario felt that "she was a little soft for this kind of role". In October 2003, the two episodes were edited together and aired as "Navy NCIS: The Beginning".
