Who is your favorite character on NCIS? I like them all right now but I'm torn as to who my absolute favorite is. I really like Abbey but I also like the rest of the crew. So I'm curious what others think and who they have as their favorite.

This seems like it would be an easy question to answer but when I think about it, I can't pick anyone over the other out of Abbey, Gibbs, Ducky, Tony, Ziva and McGee. I really like them all, they all add a certain something to the show and their onscreen chemistry is great.

That is my problem as well. I like them all and they all work together in such a way that it's hard to think of them without the others so saying one is my favorite isn't easy because they each add to the other. I hope that makes sense.

I started watching NCIS because I was a fan of Mark Harmon and because it was a JAG spinoff. So, initially Gibbs was my favorite charactor. Now I love them all. Each individual person brings something unique to the show and I can't imagine not having them all there. As for an absolute favorite, I can't really pick one; they are all my favorite.

It's Abbey. No doubt. Although the runner up to me would be Gibbs.

I'd like to see her more as well. They don't have many where she's the key person. Which is a shame because her character rocks.

Have you noticed that usually when a character's appearance is not the 'norm', they get less air time than the others? Even though they provide the comic relief.

I'd have to add as many others have that Abby is at the least one of my favorite characters, for one thing, because she said in one episode to someone, "You do realize I'm one of the few people who can kill you and leave no evidence?" Ducky is also a favorite, especially when they made a reference to what Ducky looked like when he was young(in the show, mentioning Illya Kuriakin was great). Ziva has grown on me, I didn't think at first that she was going to work out as a replacement for Kate - but the interaction between her and Tony are hilarious, its rare you see a beatiful woman put Tony on his toes and walking backward. Some people have said they don't like Tony, his constant movie quotes and comic relief take tention out of the show, even though he is a bit brash, its still interesting to see him get into new and interesting "head slap" situations. Gibbs has become a MUCH more rounded out character, when the show started, he was very 2 dimentional, and I didn't really like him, but with the addition of some past background, and a bit of a romance in the scenes, he's become a lot more 'likable' in my opinion. McGee is probably my least favorite character, possibly just because it seems he is rarely a central character, and is always just running around "yes boss"ing.

Tony grows on you and now that Ziva is there he's not as obnoxious because he can't get a way with it. With Kate he could and she would just get upset. Ziva will put him in his place or Gibbs will. I think this season has shown more of what is with McGee then in other seasons. His character is coming more to life now. I hope they continue to show him in more because I think he has potitional.

I do not know who I like most. I think it will be Abbey but I like also the conversations between Tony and Ziva. So they are for me the second one. The third one is Gibbs. I like it that NCIS started over again in Holland because I jumped in at the time that Kate was shot. Now I can see what happend before.

That's when we got my brother into watching it, after Kate was gone and Ziva joined. I like Ziva so much better then Kate. She adds a lot to the show.

NCIS started from the beginning now in Holland so now I can see the difference, I like Ziva more then Kate.

It's really very hard to pick a favorite character on NCIS, but I'll go with Abby also. She's definitely one of a kind as far as I'm concerned. Ducky would be my second choice, but then again I really like Gibbs also. They do work very well together, which is why it's such a good show. I hope it runs for years and years.

Oh I hope it does as well. I really like the group that they have on there right now. They act like a family :) Did you know though the NCIS is a private organization that is contracted with the government? I was watching a behind the scenes type thing for the show and they were talking about that. I found that interesting.

This is an unfair question. Way to difficult to answer. I like the entire cast. I like abbey cause she's hot and cool, tony cause he's funny, Gibbs because he's the master figure etc.

Good morning Emeraldisle, Like most of your other respondent's, I cannot choose a favorite character. I like them all. As far as favorites go, I guess I'd have to add special mention to Donald Bellisarius -- the show's producer. He has consistently backed some of my favorite tv shows: Magnum, P.I., Quantum Leap, JAG, and now NCIS.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Battlestar Gallactica. I've never seen an episode of Airwolf, but remember some big fans from high school. Bellisarius sure knows how to pick 'em, eh?

You have a very good point that Bellisarius deserves mentioning. He has put out a lot of shows I have enjoyed including the ones that you listed along with "Airwolf" and the original "Battlestar Galactica".

I think McGee is my favorite. I would like it if Abbey and McGee got together. I think they compliment each other well with him being so serious and straight laced and her being goth who bowl and spends times with the nuns. I also don't like Tony's new love interest. I think she is up to something!

even though all the characters on ncis are great (which is why ncis is my favorite show) my absolute favorite is Gibbs. his bossy and slightly edgy but understanding attitude makes him great. My favorite quote "I am a bottom-line guy), this pretty much sums it up.

Gibbs is great I agree. I do like how he will slap them up against the back of the head when they are being a bit stupid. There are times when some need that. I still remember one scene where Tony was talking about him and the others asked aren't you worried about him hearing. Tony said no because Gibb's knee was acting up and he smelled of bengay so he knew when he was around. Next thing was the slap on the back of the head and Tony asked him if his knee was better. I like Mark Harmon though. He's a great actor. He's also a fantastic runner although they haven't shown that in NCIS but did in his younger years. It's too bad he wasn't able to go to the Olympics but the US had boycotted that year.

I would go for Abby. She's the coolest. Next favorite would be Gibbs, because I love it when He and Abby are together. Abby's like his daughter.

Abby is great and I love how she interacts with Gibbs. They really do get along great and know just how the other one will respond. It makes the show come together better.

Abbey definitely. She is so quirky and such a different character than you see on mainstream TV. I find it refreshing to see a character like that on TV who is not only liked but respected by those she works with and who is not just considered weird.

Oh I agree. It's nice when they show characters who aren't "norma" but they show they can still be respected and that they can do the work. It shows that those of us who don't fit in the accepted forms have a chance as well :)

Abby Sciuto - played by Pauley Pirrette
I love Abby Sciuto (Pauley Pirrette). She's so quirky and out of the box but so brilliant! Gotta love the way she's always flooring someone with her "Goth" attitude. LOL

Oh I know I love how she thinks. she sees things so differently from everyone else at times. She's also so open and carefree in many ways. It's great. I loved the Halloween episode where she dressed as Marilyn Monroe.

They are all so great that it's hard to choose one over the others. Abby is a lot of fun, so she's an obvious choice and I'd hate the show without her. I'd also have to go with Denozo (I don't know the spelling). He is just too cute.

first two season Abby, last two Ziva maybe because I didn't like Kate and thank Ari she's gone (is it too bad to say =)?) so when Ziva appeared on TV it was like "wow! so different and so much better" so this character started to grow on me from the very beginning. But all of them (except for Kate) bring something to the show, even Palmer!

Hehe I agree with you about Kate. I never liked her. I love Abby and Ziva. They really add to the show and Ziva really brought it up a notch when she joined. Abby is just always good.

My favorite character is jethro and then followed by abbey (cool person) :-) I also love the way Gibbs take care of Abbey :-)

I have a soft spot for Mark Harmon anyways. I've liked him in everything I've seen him in and he's great as Gibbs. I can't wait for the new season to start.
