While I've always liked Ziva, it took me a good long while to warm up to Tony. I think I got to like him as himself, not his character, in the Season Five DVD extras, when the cast is at dinner and fields questions from YOU OUT THERE. I found him charming. The premiere held my interest. The what we did on our summer vacation back story amused me, even if much of what happened proved fraught. It was a Tony show, the Tony show this time. "NCIS" works best when it uses the entire ensemble, particularly when Ducky and Abby have more to contribute. But it will get there, I'm sure. What makes it popular is the cast can be thrown together in almost any combination and shine, one big reliable family really.
