SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary NCIS' 1000th episode case has the team look back at the show's history, resulting in an Easter egg-filled offering. CBS' premier procedural has been on the air since 2003, after JAG successfully launched a spinoff show, which became the franchise's mothership. Much has changed in the universe and the TV sphere since then, but NCIS remains steadfast in terms of ratings for the network.
9 NCIS Pilot's Air Force One Case Revisited Previously, veteran cast member Sean Murray teased about NCIS' 1000th episode featuring a callback to the show's pilot, "Yankee White." In it, Gibbs and his small team of Michael Weatherly's Anthony DiNozzo, David McCallum's Ducky Mallard, and the lab-stationed, Pauley Perrette's Abby Sciuto worked on the mysterious death aboard Air Force One.
Secondly, Gibbs was a former Marine sniper before joining NCIS. After he completed his service, he joined the agency under his eventual mentor, Mike Franks . While his team's job was primarily to investigate crimes that involved a marine or Navy officer, this particular skill had been handy before when they were forced into dire situations. One of the most notable instances of this was when the team traveled out of the country to save the captive Ziva and bring her back to DC.
6 NCIS: Los Angeles' Kensi and Hawai'i's Tennant Make Cameos While the celebration of NCIS' 1000th episode takes place in the mothership series, the milestone is for the franchise as a whole. Ideally, there would have been a massive crossover — something that the universe has done before. It's unclear why CBS moved away from the idea, but perhaps the shortened season due to the delayed premieres may have something to do with it.
4 Ex-FBI Tobias Fornell's NCIS Connection Is Highlighted One of, if not the most unexpected return in NCIS' 1000th episode is Joe Spano's Tobias Fornell. While he was never a series regular in the franchise, he is its most prominent recurring guest star. He worked with the FBI for years but also had some strange loyalty to the titular organization, and thanks to his friendship with Gibbs, he was always getting involved with NCIS cases.
2:34 Related Mark Harmon’s Gibbs NCIS Ducky Tribute Absence Is A Blessing In Disguise Leroy Jethro Gibbs' absence in Ducky's tribute in NCIS season 21 is disappointing, but it's actually better for Mark Harmon's future in the show. None of the original agents are still with NCIS, so the team isn't able to crack the mystery much earlier. While McGee has been part of the team since season 1, he didn't become part of Gibbs' team until later.
