Where We Left Off: Tony is responsible for killing Mossad agent Michael Rivkin, who happens to be Ziva’s boyfriend, lover whatever you want to call it. Ziva, Gibbs, Tony and Vance go back to Tel Aviv where the degrating friendship between Tony and Ziva causes even more problems. Ziva basically asks Gibbs to choose between her and Tony. He leaves her behind, after all she has Mossad while Tony has nothing besides NCIS. Ziva’s father sends her on a mission, but her cover is compromised and she is caught. The last image of Ziva is a badly bruised and tourtured one, the question is will Gibbs and the others be in time to save her.

Starring: Chris O’Donnell as “G” Callen, LL Cool J as Sam Hanna, Louise Lombard as Lara Macy, Daniela Ruah as Kensi Lo, and Peter Cambor as Nate Getz
Program Description: A spin-off of the increasingly popular NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles is a drama about the high stakes world of undercover surveillance at the Office of Special Projects (OSP), a division of NCIS that is charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals that pose a threat to the nation’s security. By assuming false identities and utilizing the most advanced technology, this team of highly trained agents goes deep undercover, putting their lives on the line in the field to bring down their targets.
What We Expect: NCIS: Los Angeles was introduced during the 6th season of NCIS in an episode entitled “Legend.” At the end of “Legend,” Chris O’Donnell’s character was gunned down in the streets, but we learn during NCIS that he survives the shooting. I imagine NCIS: LA will pick up the story with the Special Ops team investigating and trying to track down the shooters. I’m figuring that this will not be resolved in one episode, but arc throughout the entire season. From the “Legend” episode, it seems like this series will be a little more intense than NCIS, but let’s hope that it also has the humor that we’ve come to love in NCIS.

Starring: Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick, Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart,
Josh Charles as Will Gardner, Archie Panjabi as Kalinda Sharma, Matt Czuchry as Cary Agos, Makenzie Vega as Grace Florrick, Graham Phillips as Zach Florrick, Chris Noth as Peter Florrick.
Program Description: A drama starring Emmy Award winner Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband’s very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Pushing aside the betrayal and public humiliation caused by her husband, Peter, Alicia Florrick starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney. As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, she joins her longtime friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner, who is interested to see how Alicia will perform after 13 years out of the courtroom. Alicia is grateful the firm’s top litigator, Diane Lockhart, offers to mentor her but discovers the offer has conditions and realizes she’s going to need to succeed on her own merit. Alicia’s main competition among the firm’s 20-something new recruits is Cary, a recent Harvard grad who is affable on the surface, but is competitive to the core. Fortunately, Alicia finds an ally in Kalinda, the firm’s tough in-house investigator. Gaining confidence every day, Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician’s scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach and 13-year-old Grace. For the first time in years, Alicia trades in her identity as the “good wife” and takes charge of her own destiny.
