Will some favorites who have left the show return?(e.g.- Mark Harmon, Cote de Pablo, Pauley Pirrette and Michael Weatherly)
I've been watching the show since the first episode 20 years ago and can understand why it is "the most watched drama in the world".

I lost interest when Tony left, and lost what little interest I had left when Gibbs left.

I felt that way, too, but actually like some of the newer characters.
I was hoping we'd see Tony and Ziva in the memorial show- maybe calling in from wherever they are to offer their thoughts about Ducky. I read it will be the second show of the year.

Maybe it helps to have read the book, but I bailed mid-way thru the 3rd episode having absolutely zero idea what was going on.
I couldn't keep the characters straight, had no idea who was aligned with who or who was fighting who or why.
Just totally lost from the git go.

I could see that. I had the same response to the Dune movie. Having never read the book I didn't make it even halfway through the movie.

SPOILER ALERT 1: The ranker places Rathbone second overall, and gives him credit for not hitting Nigel Bruce in the back of his head every time he does something stupid. I celebrate Rathbone's Holmes, but making Watson a moron and suddenly changing the setting from Victorian Britain to modern times kind of undermines the films.

SPOILER ALERT 1: Their number one is Jeremy Brett. I think he's a fine choice, but the production of his run of the character looks pretty bad, recorded on video, with slow editing and bad lighting and such revealing the characters in powdery makeup. I think they kind of throw it to Brett out of sympathy because playing the role reportedly drove him more than a little crazy.
