... Question: NCIS is consistently ranked the No. 1 show, yet generates zero buzz. It's not a "watercooler talk" show. Point being: I can list two dozen shows that generate more buzz and viewer passion than NCIS.

— CouchPotatoCop (from Twitter)



Matt Roush: Whoa. Depends on the watercooler, I suppose. And one's definition of buzz and passion, because from where I sit, while NCIS may not exactly be the trendiest show out there, and lacks the critical cachet of the best of cable, there's something to be said for a show that provides plenty of pleasure to a mass audience. And while that may not always register on platforms like Twitter, to convey from this that the affection, attention and obsessive scrutiny paid to a show like NCIS is somehow lesser is just plain wrong. Here's just a sampling of the NCIS-related mail I've received in the last week:

From Dina: "Knowing TV drama as we do, and knowing that NCIS is a spin-off of JAG which did the same stupid thing with Harm and Mac, making them look like dysfunctional emotional bozos, do you think Ziva and Tony will ever violate Gibbs' rule and get together? Also, what happened to McGee's voice? He lost weight (too much if you ask me) and now his voice sounds weak. Since when does weight-loss lead to problems with the vocal cords?"

From Jana: "Had to comment on the letter in this week's issue regarding Jamie Lee Curtis on NCIS. I have nothing against the actress — she is very talented and versatile. However, I have to disagree about her being on the show. The character that they have created for her is extremely annoying, interferes with Gibbs and disrupts the team chemistry. My vote? Keep her away at all costs."

Matt again: Does this sound like a show that generates zero buzz? And for the record: I do think it's still possible we'll see Tony and Ziva get together, but not anytime soon. Sean Murray's weight loss, and now his voice, appears to be a matter of concern on many fan sites, but the show continues to insist all is well with him. And bringing on Jamie Lee Curtis as a new foil for Gibbs was bound to be polarizing. If there hadn't been debate about her, then maybe I'd be giving a different answer here...

NCIS airs Tuesday at 8/7C on CBS.

... Question: I've found myself with a problem: too many Friday night programs to keep up with. I thought Fridays were a "bad" night for TV and only bad programs were sent there to fade away. Yet, there I am wanting to watch Nikita, Supernatural, Grimm, Fringe, Blue Bloods, Fairly Legal, In Plain Sight, Who Do You Think You Are? and now The Finder. And with the Sacramento CBS affiliate running with an earlier prime time, the 9 pm time slot is super full. It's the only night of the week that my DVR can't record all of the programs I want to watch, and using On-Demand and iTunes is the only way I can keep up — no other night of TV has this many programs I enjoy. So what's the deal: Are Fridays making a comeback? Is it only because there is no reality TV on Fridays? Or am I just an odd case with my program preferences — wait, don't answer that one. (Ha!) Would appreciate your insight and thoughts.

— Joe H



Matt Roush: For a while now, I've been referring to Fridays as "cult night," where shows that attract a small but intensely passionate following have been scheduled so as to do the least damage to the rest of the week's lineup. That's the reasoning for shows like Fringe and Grimm airing in the same time period on this night (opposite Supernatural, which is a natural for Fridays as well). Airing on any other night, they would probably be long gone — except on The CW, where ratings are so low across the board it's often hard to know where they set the bar — but shows designated for Fridays tend to be given a fairly long leash to satisfy the niche viewer. Expectations aren't so high, which can turn out to be a blessing. CBS is an exception to this rule, because they have a core loyal audience that is as likely to watch TV on Fridays as on any other night, and Blue Bloods is a success by almost any measure (except maybe in demographics). It's gratifying to see so much interesting TV on Fridays, including on cable — and viewers who find themselves overbooked on Fridays can take some comfort in the fact that they're probably not settling for the same old same old you can find nearly every other night of the week.

FOX ALL ACCESS VIDEO: EMILY DESCHANEL: 'BONES' BABY CHANGES ARE EXCITING

Last Monday night, Fox's hit "Bones" added another 300 bones to its cast: Booth and Brennan's new baby! (Yes, as Brennan could tell you, although an adult human has 206 bones, babies are born with 300, some of which fuse together as the child grows.) Ever since they found out that Booth and Brennan were expecting, the show's fans have been anxiously anticipating the blessed event, and wondering how the child will change the dynamic between the characters. Emily Deschanel thinks the baby is a welcome addition to the show. She finds it refreshing that, after seven and a half seasons, Brennan now faces a challenge she's never dealt with before -- and, as a new mother herself, she knows a lot of the show's fans will be able to relate to what it's like to be a new parent.

"Bones" airs Monday nights at 8/7c on FOX
