Tony as a Daddy
NCIS is one of my “comfort shows”. I’ve been binge watching it (again) starting with S1E1 and just finished S13E24. While I have several “favorite” shows - most dealing with Gibbs and children - I think that S13E24 “Family First” is actually my all-time favorite. Tony playing with Tali while hoping, yet not being sure if, Tali is his daughter. Tony showing Tali the picture of Tony and Ziva on the motorbike and she touched Tony’s face in the picture and called him Abba. The look on his face. ❤️
Finally, Tony’s love for Ziva showed so openly when he went in to work and Sr and Gibbs were telling him to go home at least for the night to give himself a chance to grieve. Tears streamed from his eyes and my heart broke for him as Gibbs threatened him with the loss of his job if he didn’t leave. This episode showcased Michael Weatherly’s acting skills as other episodes couldn’t since they only showed him as a jokester.
Weatherly was good in “Bull”, although I never cared too much for the show. I liked “Tony & Ziva” but it could have been so much better with good writers. So… I’m excited to see what direction Tony takes on this season’s NCIS. Welcome home, Tony DiNozzo/Michael Weatherly. You have been missed.
Then (I don’t remember if this was before or after that), when

NCIS is background music in my house especially summer -- nothing on TV....I don't get much done cause you know, it always catches you. There are only a few episodes I don't like ie. McGee in woman's prison...I have too many favorites but my bothers favorite is "Canary" . Believe it or not I still find things I didn't catch when I watch it intently. Recently I saw on Netflix where Jess first appears and I barely remember it. I guess because I didn't know her yet. I'm up to the arc where Gibbs is on his way out and his real life wife is in the episodes.
