  1. As long as Mark Harmon maintains his desire to continue with the show, this will be the one to overtake Law & Order: SVU in X number of years as the longest running live action TV series in US history (I say X because it’s unknown how many more seasons Law & Order will run for – it’s currently four seasons ahead of NCIS, so the very earliest it can claim a new record would be the 2024/25 season, and that’s only if Law & Order finishes next year). I prefer Law & Order, but NCIS is always good value.
