We’ve had many crossover events for various TV crime dramas over recent years. One we haven’t seen for a while is an NCIS crossover event.

It’s been a long time since we’ve had an NCIS crossover event. The closest we’ve come to it lately was the NCIS: Los Angeles and JAG crossover, which was certainly exciting to see. Now it’s time to bring the three separate teams together.

And this needs to be a crossover event, something like the One Chicago events that happen on a yearly basis. It’s not necessarily going to be easy, but it could make for an exciting couple of nights. And it would be a couple of nights with NCIS now airing on a different night to its spin-off shows.

The show: NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans

The resolution: Create a crossover event

Why it needs to be made: Crossover events are becoming extremely successful on TV. Fans get to see their favorite characters interact with each other. And we know that the stars of the three NCIS shows can work together well. We’ve seen them interact in the past.

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a real crossover. Often, we just see someone pop up on the screen at MTAC, offering some details for a case. While that’s fun to see, it’s not quite everything that it could be.

The logistics for these sorts of crossovers would be a little difficult but not completely impossible. It could just involve one or two members of the team heading off to the other shows to continue a case, would that would either start on NCIS and move into the spin-offs or one that starts with Los Angeles and works through NOLA and then into the parent show.

Naturally, there would need to be a real storyline that leads to the three teams working together. We’d need to see something that leads to something starting in one city and moving through each of the cities/states. That’s not all that impossible to do considering many criminals do cross state lines, but it needs to feel realistic.

But why does it really need to happen? Well, this is more for fan service than anything else. Seeing Mark Harmon and Scott Bakula working together again would be awesome!

It would shake a few things up for the three shows. While NCIS doesn’t arguably need that, LA is suffering against football and NOLA has been kicked off its Tuesday night slot to a slower Sunday night.
