I personally like the original NCIS the best; New Orleans is okay but not quite as enjoyable...although I really like Scott Bakula. Can't be bothered with the LA one. Never did anything for me. I think like some of the other series with spin off's, the originals have a tendency to become a bit 'watered down' to me. It's like once Hollywood gets a winner they have to copy it to death instead of being a bit creative and come up with a completely new program. Law & Order is about the only one in that class that I don't think really got watered down. SVU just really took it over in popularity.
