![]() ![]() ![]() What happens when a character acts, well, out of character and does something many might argue goes against their true nature? And what happens when a character physically isn't the way they used to be? Even minor variations in character stick in the NCIS audience's craw for years afterward after the fact.īut there's one NCIS change that's far more noticeable than all the rest - and still likely to cause debate among fans nearly a decade after it happened: Timothy McGee's voice. That incredible fan energy has a downside, however. NCIS fans reward that consistency and unshakeable core with their viewership, and the series has maintained relatively high ratings even as it approaches 400 episodes. Not messing with the formula is so integral that the name of the genre is taken from doing things by the book. Shows like NCIS and its forebears in CSI and Law & Order have remained successful for an insane number of seasons because they offer known characters solving a weekly problem in a way that's true to their established core. Procedurals are built on lovable characters and familiarity.
