Misunderstood

[ewalley1 · 8/10 · 3 April 2017]

I think the other reviewers have misunderstood this episode. It's a comedy. It's about the contrast between the free wheeling, drugged out hippie world of yesterday and the fastidious, up-tight spiffy world of today, and it is hilarious. The plot is of no consequence. It's just a slight framework upon which to hang the real subject. I thought Carradine was terrific, a perfect grungy foil to Dinozzo, the eternal jock. The episode was all about personalities. The payoff came at the end when Carradine's character was finally forced out of hiding and, to our amazement, an honest-to-goodness talented entertainer was revealed. I wish we could have heard more of that performance. All in all a satisfying episode, if you know what to look for.

Keith is Always Solid Gold

It's a fictional TV show, Please! = Entertainment purposes only. Would loved to have heard more of Keith perform. However, Bishop is STILL boring and annoying. bleh...

Vaguely Familiar

I've got a concept for a show - this heavy drinking Country Singer is in trouble and has to room with someone from the cast. The singer throws a party in the cast member's abode and gets drunk despite being told not to. We'll get David Carradine to play the singer and Matlock solves the case...oh, wait...this is NCIS! Ok, make that Keith Carradine as the singer, throw in a military connection and the NCIS team solves the case!

Worst episode of NCIS we have ever seen

[bob977-862-519831 · 1/10 · 19 March 2014]

Who wrote this? This is ridiculous having them protect a Willie Nelson clone. The plot is so bizarre and unrealistic it was painful to watch. We love the series and to see them do this to a great show is very disappointing. Hope their writers can come up with some good plots instead of this drivel, or get some new writers. Everything is revealed in the last couple minutes with no plot or story hints along the way. We like to try to figure out who did it as the story unfolds. Not have all the twists and plots revealed in the last couple minutes. Didn't seem that any of the characters enjoyed doing this episode either. Oh, there is a mistake I spotted, Tony's collar when he finds the party in his apartment. Collar's up and then suddenly in another angle it's down. And after Michael Weatherly did a sacrilegious impersonation of Jesus Christ in that pro abortion spot, we can never look at him in the same way again.
