Ncis

[monkeyjb1988]

We need this show on Blu-Ray. It's a great show and, judging from the USA broadcasts, would:

A.) look pretty darn good.

B.) be absolutely possible, since even the first episode (Yankee White) was in HD, meaning it's just a matter of transfering to Blu discs.

Anyone else want to see Team Gibbs on Blu?

NCIS and 24 are the shows I want most on blu. Probably around $40 a season... 7 seasons of NCIS and 8 seasons of 24....ugghh boy! I'll have have to get them though, love NCIS and season 7 of 24 on blu was awesome.

I love this show to and cant wait for a blu ray release of all the seasons

[monkeyjb1988]

I was watching NCIS on USA HD and, during a commercial, channel surf until I came to an HD showing of a JAG episode. It was second part of the two-parter that introduced Team Gibbs. It was cool to finally see this episode and see where NCIS started, pre Kate and Ziva. It's also important as the statement "all of the NCIS episodes are in HD" now includes the two JAG episodes (JAG does look like a good show by itself too). Just thought I let it be known.

I would purchase both NCIS and JAG if they came out on Blu. I caught an episode of JAG the other day, first time I had seen it since the series finale years ago.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but here's some news: The 7th season of NCIS and the 1st season of NCIS LA are coming to DVD:

NCIS:

NCIS LA:
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/NCI...Season-1/13872

Notice you didn't read anything about Blu-Ray. The word that comes to mind is "grr" and "rawr". Going to have to stick with CBS HD and USA HD for HD NCIS.

Love this show!!!
can't wait for it in blu!

"On your 6 boss!"

[monkeyjb1988]

Good news!

In short, NCIS LA is coming to Blu. Hopefully, it means NCIS is coming to Blu, or at least the pilot episodes for LA (which were NCIS episodes) are included in HD. Great news.

Something I just found:

Here's the part for us:

I was wondering if you have heard anything about ‘NCIS‘ ever going to Blu-ray, and if so when that might be? – Matthew
If you like your Cote de Pablo in 1080p, your only option is to cozy up to an high-def broadcast. Gord Lacey of TVShowsonDVD.com explains that putting the occasional TV series on Blu-ray hasn’t proven to be reliably successful, “so studios are less willing to take chances on releasing product on the format. What seems to sell [on Blu-ray] are the sci-fi shows, and even that can be hit-and-miss.”

Kind of a pain in the butt. We all need to, in mass, buy NCIS LA so CBS decides to release the rest of both LA and the original on Blu-Ray, possibly even JAG.

this is one of the few shows that I would pay full price for every season on blu ray

I respectfully disagree, my friend. If you check the ratings, you will find that the original NCIS ratings is usually higher than NCIS LA. There are many people that love the original show but couldn't care less about the spin-off (myself included). As a matter of fact, it puzzles me as to why they chose to release the spin-off first. Maybe their reasoning is that if people buy the spin-off they will certainly buy the original. The fact is that many people won't buy NCIS LA simply because they don't like it, but if they released the original NCIS, that a lot of people would buy.

i cannot agree more. it seems that when shows are moved to the LA area, they just aren't very good (ie. NCIS LA/Law and Order LA). the blu ray release was just bad thinking in my opinion.

[Bullseye]

Would love to buy this show on Blu Ray.

[ripod19]

I wish they would finally do this. Hawaii Five 0 looks awesome, so hopefully they will try out NCIS with Season 9.

[Rl3058]

I'd really would buy this if its on blu.

Also, maybe as a special feature they should include the episodes that were on JAG that feature NCIS

This is another "don't hold your breath" scenario...

They did release NCIS: LA season 1 on Blu... but then went to DVD-only with season 2... which kind of tells me that IF they were testing the waters, the waters were too cold... so not much hope left for NCIS seasons on Blu at this point.

Yeah but NCIS: LA sucks.

I think the studios are starting to cool over the idea of releasing their TV shows to Blu-ray. They're actually making more money on the DVD releases then they are on the Blu-ray releases.

Take a look at such shows as "The Unit" (Seaosn 4) and "Bones" (Seasons 4-current), released to Blu-ray but that earlier seasons have not yet been released. NCIS, Smallville, Babylon 5 and many other shows will probably never see a release to Blu-ray. Stargate SG1, Babylon 5 and Smallfille have been cited as "remastering nightmares" for the studios because the costs involved would be prohibitive for the studios.

I just have never warmed to NCIS: LA because it's just not that interesting to me as the core NCIS series is.

What are the studios going to do when DVD is finally dead, which is pretty darned soon now? They'll have to go to Bluray. Plus, Bluray is getting more affordable every day. The days of DVD are numbered, just like VHS was. The trouble with the studios is they are always wrong on the oldies.

Not the same argument.

DVD players couldn't play VHS tapes (ok, yeah there were a few combo players actually)... so you had to make a choice.

Blu-ray players play DVDs... so there is no forseeable "end" to DVD in sight.

There are lots of things that are not available in HD (things on videotape in SD) and it makes no sense to put them on Blu-ray really... it's a medium, and the DVD media works just fine for a lot of content still.
