JAG Episodes That Make Us Love NCIS Even More

Another fan-favorite episode is the Season 8 premiere. Things turn for the worst in the first episode as Bud Roberts (played by Patrick Labyorteaux) is dealing with the loss of his leg after standing on a landmine in Afghanistan. A.J. Chegwidden (played by John M. Jackson) and Lieutenant Loren Singer (played by Nanci Chambers) are also dealing with having to testify after the sudden bomb attack in the previous season. Full of mystery and action-packed scenes, it's no wonder this episode ranked top among fans.

Though "JAG" may be over, the drama's storylines still live on in "NCIS." In fact, there was even a recent crossover with some appearances from beloved "JAG" characters, per Entertainment Tonight. The Season 11 premiere of "NCIS: LA" showed the 14-year return of Harm and Mac, the outlet added. And, as you can guess, old and new "JAG" fans were anxious to see how the two were doing since the show's end. 

Let's just say, some fans were disappointed to see the lives of their two favorite characters, Digital Spy added. Not only were Mac and Harm not together, but the pair hadn't even seen each in nine years! Sheesh. No happily ever after there. 

However, never say never. With the way "NCIS" pops out season after season, we bet there'll be more "JAG" reunions in the future.
