Clip from Season 2 Episode 9 (Absolution) I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED. Post in the comments below for any particular scene you want. #ncis #kensikicksaguyintheballs #densi
Hilarious, Callen and Sam feel for the unknown guy being kicked "there", but laughed or made jokes whenever Deeks was hit in the same place (neither of them suffered that btw)
I agree with Russel here - NCIS LA was good till the end. Not as good as the first few seasons, but that's natural, plus, LA was always rather pure escapism, they were always much more about entertaining/ popcorn factor than the original, and for me it was good. Honestly, for me, the original NCIS got too dark and too serious at some point, and as a result, actually boring, meanwhile LA kept the awesome action and funny partner banter at the high level, and it was awesome to watch! I kept watching till the end, exactly for this reason! I loved the whole LA team and the vibes between them. Meanwhile, the original NCIS is still going on, and for so long that most favorite characters left or died, as a result, the team dynamic got ruined, and I haven't enjoyed it for years now! So, for me NCIS LA> NCIS.
It started going downhill after season 9 or something, especially after hettys role was reduced, eric and nell leaving, and kilbride on more often. Even tho his lines are something of its own loll. But earlier to mid years for la was awesome.
Not true at all, I strongly disagree. I watched till the end, till the end of season 14, and it was still good. Sure, it was not genius-level good as during the first few seasons, but that happens literally to all long-running shows on main cable networks, and NCIS LA was an extremely long-running show. Any show that surpasses 8 seasons, not to mention 10 seasons, is an insane success and already surpasses all expectations, and you can never stay as good as you were during the first, let's say 6-7 seasons. It's called material fatigue, it's a well-known process on TV. The only TV series that maintain very high quality through all seasons are mini-series like on HBO or on Prime, which have just 8 episodes per season + like, three seasons tops, for example, True Detective or Westworld. But NCIS is a completely different type of show, it's a weekly action crime and procedural drama, with 24 episodes per season, so the material fatigue appears sooner or later because of the number of episodes, it's inevitable. Still, they had exciting episodes later on too - for example, the finale of season 9 and the start of season 10 when they are in Mexico, are brilliant! And the chemistry between the team stayed awesome till the end! (sure, they had minor bumps on the way, like Mosley or Sadoko characters that just didn't fit in and were annoying, but they were there for a very short time, Mosley just for 30 episodes, so a season+ a few episodes). Nell returned for the last episode and they mentioned Eric a few times after he left, so it's safe to assume the old team reunited after they found Hetty in the last episode, so the writers gave the fans a happy ending on a high note which every fan wanted - that is a job well done by the crestors&writers. If you take into consideration how long this show was on air, Eirc and Nell actors leaving in season 12, and Hetty getting her screen time reduced because Linda Hunt was getting older and older, and couldn't keep up, which is understandable, then you realize, that the finale of the show was absolutely great! They managed to write many entertaining twists and turns through the years without ruining the core characters, as it happens often on other shows, and they wrapped the show very nicely, 1000% better than most popular shows out there!! For me, LA is way better than the original NCIS, because LA was good till the end even if it went a little bit downhill, what's more, LA managed to keep almost the entire original team till the end of the show, and finished the arc of each character well! In comparison, the original NCIS clearly doesn't know when to quit! It's already too long (20 + seasons is crazy!), the teams and people except Gibbs changed, like, 10000000 times, and too many people from the original team got killed or left so the chemistry and characters were absolutely ruined in many cases, and finally, the show is very boring for years now, because they have already written every scenario in every case possible, so there is nothing fresh or interesting left. LA was and is better because they wrapped their story, didn't change core people, and their cases were always more exciting than the cases on the original NCIS because LA dealt with international terrorism way more often than NCIS, their storylines were richer thanks to that! So to each their own, but I loved LA till the end, and for me, it's a better show than the original NCIS. In fact, for me, LA is the best out of the entire NCIS franchise.
@@kylebeschler03 I disagree. I watched till the end, till the end of season 14, and it was still good & btw, Kilbride was good as the new chief, not as good as Hetty, but he was good and for sure better than annoying Mosley, plus, Hetty was still there, just not a full time.

@@russelconor8704 okay so you made some interesting points but for me personally the original NCIS has improved since ziva left during season 11 technically. Tony and ziva were okay but after ziva left I think the show improved some like the story lines with ziva they were kind of boring for some reason and oftentimes naval ship environment plots as well. But when she left and then Bishop came along even some of the naval ship plot line episodes were better even though the team has changed honestly. I think it's better now than it was before(banter was always good). Kate wasn't too bad though she was okay. But for la like I said the story lines were best probably beginning towards season 9. And I understand the core characters stayed till the end which I really enjoyed that but the storylines were just getting more boring as time went on and then I just became more into character storylines than the actual cases being investigated. With NCIS I enjoy the characters as well as often times the cases. So it's not so much the cast I didn't like towards the end they weren't too bad. Just the cases were boring more often than not. Maybe cuz I don't understand some of the foreign policy stuff and things like that. And id say I'm more of a ellick fan than tiva.
