„It’s almost like spoofing it.” NCIS is a parody of CSI? Michael Weatherly knows why the TV series is viewed this way in many countries

The TV show NCIS, which airs on CBS and revolves around crime investigations, has been on the air for quite some time. Because of its resemblance to the long-running CSI series, it’s frequently compared to that program and even seen as a parody, as Michael Weatherly from NCIS noted.

The actor pointed out that the TV show NCIS, which followed CSI,, wasn’t intended to be a duplicate or satire of CSI, but rather an innovative series that pushes the boundaries of the genre by incorporating humor. Mark Harmon explained during an interview with The Futon Critic that NCIS blends elements from shows like M*A*S*H and Scooby-Doob, making it a unique mix of comedy and drama.

Yet, the performer mentioned that internationally, NCIS is frequently seen as a satire of CSI. He thinks this may be because of varying viewer preferences.

Absolutely, NCIS took a unique spin on the usual genre by seamlessly incorporating humor, thereby establishing its distinct identity without compromising the dramatic aspect of the series.
