It’s been a year since “NCIS” — now in its 21st season — scored 7 million viewers.
But last night was the second 7 mil week of this abbreviated season. This was all in anticipation of the farewell episode for the late David McCallum, aka Ducky.
Last night’s 7.25 mil total viewers was actually down a squidge from last week, although delayed viewing could increase the number.
The big surprise at the end was a cameo from Michael Weatherly as Tony DiNozzo. Weatherly was written out many seasons ago so he could have his series, “Bull.” But last night’s appearance suggests Di Nozzo may be back again. Even if it were a short arc, his return would spark ratings.
“NCIS” is the show that keeps on giving. Who’d have thought it would make season 21, and without Mark Harmon? Life is full of surprises.
