And daddy
And then
Cousin Wayne

Movieguide® recently reported on NCIS’s popularity:

The final tallies for the top 100 telecasts of 2021 are in, and CBS’s NCIS dominated as one of the most-watched primetime telecasts behind NFL football.

The numbers also prove that Movieguide®’s theory that moral, patriotic TV performs better than politically correct and agenda-driven segments. Although the Academy Awards often finds itself in the top 10 most-watched telecasts, in 2021, the award show failed to make the top 100.

NCIS’ strong showing led CBS to earn the No. 1 channel spot for viewership in the 2021-2022 broadcast season with 166 million total minutes viewed.

“While ‘time spent’ has mainly been a streamers’ metric, it actually demonstrates the continuing strength and scale of broadcast television, and CBS in particular,” George Cheeks, President and CEO, CBS and Chief Content Officer, News, and Sports, Paramount+, said. “Additionally, all this content is available on Paramount+ too, both live and on demand.”

Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment, added: “No matter how you analyze the numbers – time spent, live +7, live +3 or live – CBS’ primetime schedule and our highly successful new series are resonating loudly with viewers.”
