JAG: Judge Advocate General- Season 8

I wasn't a real big fan of JAG, but I got thus to finally see the pilot episode of NCIS. I did watch the whole JAG season, but it never really caught my interest. Buy it for the NCIS episodes. It was a 2 part episode and both are here.

JAG from start to finish was a phenomenal series about the operations of the Judge Advocate General's operations and fulfilment of the legal system that serves our active duty military personell. The character development during this series 10 year run went above and beyond any series I had seen before. This is a series that if one of the networks decided to bring back today would surely have another successful run. The chemistry between the 2 main characters Harmon Rabb and Sarah MacKenzie along with the other characters in the show made this the great series that still continues to be shown on some cable networks. Season 8 would be the season that launched the currently number one hit series currently on CBS the extremely popular NCIS with Mark Harmon from the same producers and which this fall will debut it's 10th season and doesn't show any sign of slowing down. It was amazing that when JAG originally started out on NBC, it was dropped after the 1st season to be picked up by CBS, a decision that I'm sure the executives at NBC have regretted with the long successful run of JAG and subsequently NCIS and it's spin-off NCIS LA. If CBS or another network ever consider putting JAG together again with the same characters and actors they would have to wait for Catherine Bell to be available since she is in another successful series on cable Army Wives. Anyway, If you've never seen any of JAG, and you like series like Law and Order, you'd definitely like JAG. I highly recommend JAG. IF you like NCIS you should really like JAG. I have purchased both JAG and NCIS from Amazon and will most likely at a future point purchase NCIS LA as well - all top notch TV viewing.

The plots are somewhat predictable but the situations are generally interesting. The acting is very good.

.....bought it for the 2 shows with NCIS in them. I was a JAG fan in the beginning of the series, but by season 4,they started getting ridiculous, so never saw those 2 NCIS episodes (season 8, Ice Queen) the first time around. Can't speak for the rest of the season since I didn't watch any of them, but LOVED those 2 prequels to NCIS, so for that fact alone,I was very happy with this DVD set. Had to order it throough amazon because no stores around here had season 8 - everyone must be doing the same thing I am, looking for those 2 shows! So I was happy with the product, got what I expected, and as usual, everything with Amazon went great, got it sooner than they projected. I'm guessing that if you're a die-hard JAG fan that watched all 9 seasons, you'll enjoy this. If you're an NCIS fan, you'll definitely enjoy it, seeing Gibbs,Tony,Abby and Ducky (and Agent Blackadder,whom I am very glad got sent back to the FBI) in the beginning.

Wonderful series

Having seen the series a few years back it was enjoyable watching the 8th series. It was a simple task for me to understand all the ongoing stories within each episode, merely because I had previously viewed when it came on TV. The main reason I bought this series was the "pilot" for NCIS, a series I truly enjoy and have collected all DVD releases. However the JAG stories were also entertaining, and now I must see if I can resist the temptation to purchase series 9, after the series end storey for 8.

Do not get me wrong, I was a fan of JAG for many seasons, just as I was for Law and Order. And while I lost interest in the show by the end of the run, I did like when they introduced NCIS in season 8. Something about the character Mark Harmon played made me interested. The season itself was good as you can tell the tension was building to an end. Overall, I felt the writing was smart, and the episodes were believable. I enjoy watching these, especially now that I travel so much. Its nice just to rerun episodes and challenge myself on how I might have written the character/plot differently. Keeps my mind fresh in a world of stale data analysis.

This was for fun. Seeing younger versions of the NCIS crew was fantastic

good

Bought for a friend not for me. Has to appeal for me.

Focusses a lot on the situations arising from the War on Terror. Was getting slightly bored of the "will they won't they" Mac/Harm relationship tension, but it was nice to see a shift to examine the relationship between Bud and Harriet, and see into the rehabilitation efforts of those injured in the line of duty. A bit touchy feely, but definitely interesting as a whole season.

MY VERY FAVORITE SERIES, AND A UNIQUE . DAVID JAMES ELLIOTT, CATHERINE BELL AND THE ENTIRE CAST PORTRAYED THEIR CHARACTERS SO BELIEVABLY WELL. THIS IS A SERIES WHERE EACH AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE CAST WAS TOP-NOTCH. I THINK DONALD BELLASARIO AND HIS CREW DID A TERRIFIC JOB SELECTING THE ACTORS AND THE CHARACTERS FOR THE SERIES, AS WELL AS THE SERIES FORMAT.

Another action pack season. Very interesting plots ie Bud adjusting to the loss of his leg, Lt. Singer and what happens to her (did you know she is married to David James Elliot in real life?), Webb and Mac in Paraguary. The series is great!
