I thought this was as good a place to post as any. If they round out the rest of the cast with solid supporting actors this one could be as good as the other two NCIS series. I hope they film on location in New Orleans & Louisiana!

I wonder if NBC still looks back and thinks what might have been? :banghead2:


Scott Bakula To Topline CBS’ ‘NCIS’ Spinoff

Scott Bakula To Topline CBS’ ‘NCIS’ Spinoff

Scott Bakula is set to lead the cast of CBS’ NCIS planted spinoff set in New Orleans. Like the mothership series starring Mark Harmon, the spinoff too is built around a central character, NCIS Special Agent Pride, played by Bakula. Executive produced by NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg and Harmon, spinoff is set at the NCIS New Orleans office which handles cases from Pensacola through Mississippi and Louisiana to the Texas panhandle. It centers on NCIS Special Agent Pride (Bakula), who embodies New Orleans. He’s driven by the need to do what’s right and does it all with warmth, passion, strength and humor. The planted spinoff will air as a two-part NCIS episode this spring. Quantum Leap and Men Of A Certain Age alum Bakula was recently nominated for an Emmy for his role in HBO Films’ Liberace biopic Behind The Candelabra and currently recurs on the new HBO comedy Looking. Bakula, repped by ICM Partners and Anonymous Content, has completed India-set musical Basmati Blues opposite Brie Larson and Elsa And Fred opposite Christopher Plummer and Shirley MacLaine.

Any word on when it's supposed to air?

In an article I didn't link they reported that they began shooting this week as they posted an tweet from Michael Weatherly showing a pic of Scott Bakula's chair with his name stitched on it and a NCIS logo I haven't seen before.

According to a future episode guide the March 18th episode is listed as "Crescent City" so its a good bet that is it.


On a side note if this gets picked up to series they should immediately put in a small part for Dean Stockwell to play Mike Frank's like role as Bakula's character's old superior or even his dad.

Is Lucas Black going to have a significant role? I really enjoy watching him. Saw him in sling blade as a kid and seen every movie he's been in since then. Just a down to earth guy with an accent. Fun to watch.

Apparently yeah sounds like his character will be the Tony DiNosso of NCIS:NOLA team.

Black will play NCIS Special Agent Lasalle, who relocated to New Orleans as a kid and is a no-nonsense federal agent who believes in doing what’s right no matter what, and a man who works hard and plays harder. In addition to Bakula and McLellan, Black joins previously cast CCH Pounder in the spinoff, which will air as a two-part NCIS episode in the spring.

Sheesh! They're really tapping into the Quantum Leap family of actors.
Not a big role at all but CCH Pounder was in an episode of Quantum Leap(as were probably a lot of actors at one point).

I really like NCIS LA, but NCIS is the best and probably always will be imo. Definitely giving NCIS NOLA a shot though.

I can't decide on which I like best as despite both being NCIS they are completely different kinda of shows at least to me! I still wish we could see some crossovers between the two.

There's only one Gibbs and NCIS has him and I've always liked DiNozzo and McGee. They've been plagued with not being able to keep their female character since the start though.

It's odd the only crossover we saw with NCIS LA was when Kenzie went to Hawaii and was with the Hawaii Five-0 crew on a couple episodes.

REMINDER:

Tonight's all new episode of NCIS titled "Crescent City" is Part 1 of the two part backdoor "Pilot" for NCIS: New Orleans

Let's just hope NCIS doesn't follow the CSI and Law and Order franchises by branching out too far, watering down the product and turning it into unwatchable crap too concerned with social commentary.

Well, I had mixed feelings about it. The show was absolutely crammed with NOLA references when they didn't have to do all that. They shouldn't have given Bakula an accent to even try. Let him speak the way he normally does. I know a lot of people from NOLA that don't have accents other than the typical one that covers the majority of the southern states.

Show wise it was pretty decent. They definitely need to give them a better office to work out of because that set they showed was just sad and completely unsecure.

Tonight is the finale part in the 2-part back door pilot for NCIS New Orleans on an all new episode "Crescent City Part 2" of NCIS.

I can't wait to watch these back to back later tonight!

You're on a "back to back" roll Cagle.:) Were you saving them up for a reason?

I just don't always watch things right away and with this one I did want to save them and watch them together.

I thought they were pretty good. I liked Lucas Black's and CCH Pounder's characters the best. I thought it was funny when her character asked Gibbs (Mark Harmon) if he knew anything about college football! Those that don't know Mark Harmon was quarterback for UCLA back in the day.

It was a whole lot better than the NCIS: RED spinoff they tried from NCIS: Los Angeles two years ago I think? That is probably do to better casting this time around might be an alright show but they really should film it on location in New Orleans (if its picked up) area as that would be another (major) character to the show.

To be honest when they tried this I had no idea they were trying to "pitch" a spin-off at all. I just thought they felt like having John Corbett as a guest star.

I think this one may have potential. It's too early yet to know how well everyone on the show will mesh together, but I could maybe see it as a good series.

Until you mentioned it I'd completely forgotten that code red spinoff they had looked at attempting. I remember reading about that back then and wondering what ever happened to the idea. I guess the pilot shows off NCIS: LA just didn't grab anybody.
