'NCIS' Fans Can't Get Over Gibbs' Absence in First Episode Since Mark Harmon's Exit
'I'm going to give it a chance'
I’m liking Parker, he’s chatty. I have to admit that grumpy older man bit was getting old with Gibbs, but I ❤️him.I’m going to give it a chance(even though I wasn’t paying attention the first 10 minutes. Now they can get rid of Jessica. Not feeling her. #NCIS

After last week's episode aired, showrunner Steve Binder offered a tribute to Gibbs and Harmon. "As an executive producer and dear friend, Mark continues to be an integral part of the fabric of the show," Binder said. "Our north star has always been staying true to our characters, and that truth has always guided the stories we tell and where those characters go. So regarding the future of Gibbs, as long-time fans of the show may have noticed over the years... never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out."

Gary cole is a good actor but NCIS without Gibbs is a looser cancel it after this season and let it die while it still has some ratings. The Hawaii show needs to go

While McGee didn't weigh in on Parker taking a big role in the NCIS team, fans at home certainly did. Scroll on to see what fans had to say about Monday's episode. Parker later asked McGee why he didn't want to be team leader. McGee admitted to thinking about it, but he passed on it because it was more demanding than he thought, but Parker felt there was more to be said. As the episode went on, Torres continued pushing McGee to take a stronger leadership role in the team.

"Oh no he isn't the replacement of Gibbs. I was hoping it would be McGee," one fan wrote.

Gary Cole is going to have to steps things up a bit. He is no Gibbs but he needs to start pushing envelopes. #NCIS
