I recall watching it, then apparently thought it was canceled. It went into syndication a year or so back, so I started watching it again. Tuned in to an episode that was filmed during the pandemic and it was being used as part of the plot. Whaaa? I'm sure I missed the last two seasons, and I'm still not sure how that happened.

I think the filming in New Orleans really added to the show, but probably increased the cost and made it more likely to be canceled.

I do wonder if any of the characters have guest starred on other NCIS shows since cancelation. I've drifted away from it, so I haven't kept up, but it would be a nice continuity thing to see some familiar faces again.
