      Same appeal as all the other decent hospital/cop shows of the time. Just because some of the tech scenes were did poorly on purpose doesn’t mean the rest of it is equally bad. The cast, dialogue and plot were fine. Not sopranos or whatever, but definitely not “drivel”. Not everything needs to be super serious all the time.

      Edit: lul, the guy actually questioned his father’s intelligence because they enjoyed NCIS. What sort of person judges others for their taste in art/hobbies? Jfc.

        I had a girlfriend that was really into anything Hitler… Rest assured I judged.

          Was it like those people that enjoy watching interviews/documentaries with serial killers or was it more like those people that write them love letters?

        Nah, it’s bad. I’m sorry you have bad taste, but I’m sure you’re otherwise tremendous

        I choose to believe that the NCIS has developed a technique with which two users can controll a computer at the same time through the same keyboard. And that they are using an advanced operating system which UI is based solely on the technique pop-up ads in the 2000s used.

        They are simply thát good at computers.

        My friend, my dad used to watch that show all the time, so I have seen a lot of it.

        The 2 idiots 1 keyboard scene isn’t “one of the only bad scenes in the show,” it’s literally one of the single most entertaining moments of the show.

        And that’s not retroactively calling that scene entertaining, it is meant as a scathing insult to the abysmal quality of the rest of the show.

        I loved my father, but I constantly questioned his intelligence being able to sit through that drivel.

        If you disagree with my opinion, that is okay, but I promise you are not going to be able to change it

      Boomer humor at its most basic. “Them young 'uns think they’re so smart, but they just got schooled…that’s why you gotta respect yer elders!” Right, because unplugging a single node is going to save the network servers. I’ve literally only seen this clip of the show, but that blatant pandering to boomers told me all I needed to know. Also, fuck 12.

        I’ve always took that scene to be way more about not panicking and thus missing the obvious solution than any sort of boomer humor.
