My favorite show until Ziva left. The chemistry between Tony and Ziva, and Ziva's mangling of the English language and its idioms, were hilarious and very clever with their puns. Clever plots, often funny like Tony and Ziva stuck in a ship container, or having to simulate a married couple... kept it serious and light at the same time. Every one's role seemed to be written to mesh with their online personalities. But now? And especially the last show where the almost dead drug user recovers in a few hours with no ill effect, where her father threatens an MD with a gun ... where Gibbs is seeing ghosts and talking to them ..... The only two people who are constant are Jimmy Palmer and the cooky takeover for Abby , albeit a different kind of cooky. Anyway, I will watch it just to see if there is a point to all of that and if they are bringing Ziva back, although it also will never be the same.

I have loved the first 5 years. Then it got more convoluted with the Mascha/Mom/Dad/ or not situation and good and loyal people got killed off ( Kaplan) and the credibility stretched pretty thinly over the next seasons. Usually only the bad people died... but now the good ones get tortured and die..... But the "Robert Diaz" show tore the tenuous hold on credibility for sheer impossibility unless they can teleport and Denby has ESP. and their computers are powered by plutonium. They spit out answers and pictures by barely touching them. Ended nicely with Spader getting poisoned by Katrina.... or not? We'll find out next season...

This is one of the best shows. The kids are not only alright, they are great actors. The tongue in cheek and poking earnest fun of social and religious issues , their fast and glib dialogues, the quick repartees of the mother to the children ... which nowadays would not be pc...and the kids going with the flow and surviving not being cherished every moment for breathing in and out. I am sorry to see that it may be cancelled and shows like " the amazing race" keeps going.... or is it in the name?

I just binge watched the last season and for me it is a comedy. Everyone is either very good or very bad and the situations are getting from bad to worse and totally unbelievable how they get out of them. Patterson , Rich and Boston are comic relief to the tortured faces of Jane and Weller, who could at least shave his neck, if he has to sport a 4 day beard. There is NO believable chemistry between the two and I have a feeling, Jane cringes each time she has to kiss him. A nice escapism show when nothing is else is on ...

First I want to state that I am not a crazy cat lady with 36 cats in my basement. I am referring to the last Hawaii 5 O show, which ended with an unwanted cat as a dog's chew toy and was supposed to be funny. Hawaii 5 O has become a cliche anyway with two unshaven guys blabbing back and forth, a nerd behind the computer screen which spits out the perp's name. Car chases, jumping roofs, beatings from which the good guys get up without an injury and gratuitous violence. ( Did one really have to burn one alive, instead of just conking over the head and killing?) The show was always just fluff, but feel good, a little humor and the good guy made it... and that should extend to the animals, too. It would have been a nice message to find a home for Mr. Pickles to let the audience know, that we are stewards for all living things, especially the weak, helpless and vulnerable. Maybe I am overly sensitive, but I volunteer in a shelter and can't believe the reasons for dropping off animals. I know it is just a show trying to be funny, but it had the chance to remind us of our humanity. Off my soap box now. All in all, the show is getting stale and so is the humor.
