“Mark Harmon’s NCIS Exit Sparks Controversy: Fans Divided Over Gary Cole’s Role!
The departure of Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs after 18 seasons on NCIS has ignited heated debates among fans. Despite CBS initially denying Harmon’s exit, Gary Cole’s Agent Parker took the reins in Season 19, leading to accusations of deception.
Many fans are disappointed with the choice of Agent Parker as the new team leader, expressing a strong desire for Tim McGee, Gibbs’ apparent heir, to take on the role instead. Showrunner Steven D. Binder responded, suggesting that Gibbs and McGee may have discussed the future. However, fans remain unsatisfied, voicing their preference for McGee to step into Gibbs’ shoes.”
