And because its renewals came as regularly as sunrises and sunsets, there haven’t been very many drastic changes to deal with from season to season.
Starting off as a spinoff in 2003, NCIS was one of many shows to put CBS atop the broadcast networks through the early 2000s.
After 15 years of dedication and perseverance holding all the blood, sweat and tears together, Pauley Perrette is obviously facing a completely different lifestyle in her post-NCIS years.
The show’s early years saw change-up in episode counts, jumping between 19 and 25, but CBS has kept a standard 24-episode run for each year since Season 7, so Perrette’s work life was about as streamlined and steady as one could hope for in television.
