'NCIS' Fans Have Mixed Feelings About Gibbs Prequel Series

Fans have a lot of thoughts about the latest NCIS spinoff. It was recently announced that CBS has ordered a prequel series centering on a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Mark Harmon, who portrayed the NCIS Special Agent since the beginning before leaving early on in Season 19, will be narrating and serving as an executive producer. His son, Sean Harmon, who played Gibbs in flashbacks in several episodes, will also executive produce.

Titled NCIS: Origins, the series will focus on Gibbs' early days in the NCIS starting in 1991 when he starts his career at NCIS Camp Pendleton under the advisement of the legendary Mike Franks. It will mark the fifth spinoff in the franchise and the first prequel. Although Harmon has stayed on the Mothership as an executive producer since his departure, Origins will definitely be like his homecoming, especially since Gibbs is coming back into the fold. While some fans shared their excitement online, others weren't so fond of the idea.
