And Now for Something Completely Different ...

[dizzojay]

My Mum has, this year, really got into NCIS.  She's been devouring them on various freeview channels, and bemoaning the fact that those channels don't show them in order, so earlier this year I ordered her the seasons 1 - 11 boxset on Amazon.

She seems to have developed a particular liking for Tony DiNozzo.  Every time I go to see my parents, I'm asked to find to get on 'my internet thng' and look up facts about the character, and Michael Wetherley, the actor.

It's actually really cute!  I've never seen her like this over a show or an actor, and NCIS, although not really my thing, is streets ahead of the usual shit she watches, likes soaps and reality TV.  So, of course, I'm being a total enabler.  I sit and watch it with her when I visit them, and I've ordered her the season 12 DVD for Christmas.

And then I decided to do something for a little surprise, also for Christmas ...

I really like NCIS - the main characters are a lot of fun (and David McCallum!). Fancy your mum turning into a fangirl! She'll love Tony on her wall, I'm sure.

I'm not really into cop shows, and for that reason it didn't grab me the way something Like Supernatural would, but it passed a couple of hours, and some of the characters were fun to watch!

You are the best daughter/fangirl/enabler ever! :D

Yeah, NCIS is a fun show. She has so many great seasons to catch up on! I don't know how she feels about SPN, but if she's interested I know one hell of a crossover fic I could recommend to you. :)

And since Weatherly recently left NCIS to star in his own show, Bull, she might be interested in that, too. They're still in the first season, so she may have to wait for the DVD.

P.S.: That portrait is awesome!

Glad you liked the pic.
I didn't know he'd gone off to do another show; I'll have to look at that for her!

Wow! This is perfect, my dear. Amazing...

Thank you :)

Beautiful!!
I love NCIS and am a die-hard Gibbs/DiNozzo slasher :-D

I didn't start shipping them until season 3. I love them.

I'm not really into cop shiows, so I can't say it grabbed me, but it was better than many!

Ooh, nice!

Thank you!

Love your Tony. Fun Fact: Mark and William Sheppard appeared in episode together. Season 6 episode 13 (126 over all) titled Broken Bird.

Kudos for enabling your mother. It's a good show. (For the record, it was my Dad who got me hooked on NCIS.)

On a completely unrelated note, I love your icon. I'm so glad it's not just me, because man, if anyone ever looked at the stuff I've researched while trying to get into a character's head, they'd schedule me for a psych eval! :D

Are there any T shows Mark Sheppard hasn't been in????
I watched a few episodes with my Mum, and I have to say, I'm not really into cop shows, but this was definitely one of the better ones!

Nice portrait!

I used to be addicted to NCIS, and Tony was a favorite of mine, along with Ziva. But, she left the show and I've lost my way with it. Ah well!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

My Mum was saying that she wasn't happy that Ziva left the show.

I really like NCIS but haven't watched it in forever! You are the bestest daughter, ever! ♥

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I've only seen those few episodes with my Mum, but it's nice to see her really engaged with something!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

My Mama's guilty pleasure is Gossip Girl, I got it for her the xmas before last :D

[sinfulslasher]

The earlier seasons of NCIS are awesome and Tony was my favorite. Then they went and assassinated his character. Glad Michael finally left the show.

But go you for being such an awesome enabler - your mum will love the portrait!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

He is a great character, and I can't imagine the series will last long after he goes. But who knows?

Looks great!!

Thank you :)

Holy shit, dizzo, I think this is your best portrait ever! I love Tony and you've caught his perfectly, especially his lovely eyes.

Yaaay, your mum's a fangirl! Now Michael's left NCIS you'll have to introduce her to Dark Angel!
