What began as a risky JAG spinoff that didn’t want to be confused with CSI has grown into one of TV’s most formidable franchises. CBS’s NCIS—now in its 14th season and closing in on its its 300th episode (airing Tuesday, March 15)—is the most-watched drama on U.S. television, a cable rerun blockbuster and an international hit (airing in 200 markets). To mark the milestone, we talked to stars Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Pauly Perrette, their castmates and executive producers about the show’s unlikely road into TV history.
