A two- part episode during the eleventh season led to two spin-offs series, NCis: New Orleans. In the season three premiere, a very freeze-frame shot was also used with the very end of most episodes as well as a freeze-to-frame frame, aswell as a very long black-and-white clip. The first episode of the first season was aired under the name Navy NCIS, the name it held for the entire first season. The decision to use this name was reportedly made by CBS, over the objections ofBellisario, to: The name \”Navy NCIS\” was redundant. Since the \”N\” in NCIS stands for \”Naval\”, the name “Naval NCIS’s” was redundant as well. The NCIS is the primary law enforcement and counterintelligence arm of the United States Department of the Navy. In real life, the field office is based at the nearby Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, while the Navy Yard is home to the museum and several military commands within the Department ofthe Navy. It is described by the actors and producers as being distinguished by its comedic elements, ensemble acting, and character-driven plots. It was reported in May 2007 that Donald Bellisarios would be stepping down from the show due to a disagreement with series star Mark Harmon.
