19 Reasons Borin is the Female Gibbs


1. The investigation waits for her to arrive.
2. She wears her cap just like Gibbs.
3. She smiles at DiNozzo before she delivers the punchline.
4. She can tell a very emotional story, without breaking down, while looking for key evidence.
5. Ducky loves working with her.
6. She has witty banter with DiNozzo.
7. She knows the perfect thing to get Abby.

8. She says "I don't believe in luck."
9. She does the thing where you cut the bad guy's path off and take him out while DiNozzo is chasing him.
10. Gibbs lets her handle the interrogation.
11. She does the classic Gibbs move of standing while interrogating.
12. Another classic Gibbs move, getting really, really close.
13. They both have that stare into the distance look sometimes.
14. She can keep up with Abby the way Gibbs can.
15. She stalks her prey before attacking, just like Gibbs.
16. She gets a full confession from the suspect.
17. Gibbs only smiles at Gibbs-quality work.
18. She figured out that Gibbs was the one pranking the team. It takes a Gibbs to catch a Gibbs.
19. Gibbs doesn't give that look to just anyone when they leave. Skills recognizes skills, Gibbs recognizes Gibbs.

CBS's long-running crime drama NCIS is not only the No. 1 show in America, it's also the highest-rated drama in the entire world. We caught up with the cast and found out why this show is loved around the globe.

"[NCIS] is seen in over 200 markets in the world," said President and CEO of CBS Global Distribution Group Armando Nunez. "It's dubbed and subtitled into 59 different languages."

So what do the actors think of being broadcasted in so many countries?

"If Gibbs is speaking all those languages that's a good thing because I struggled with year three Spanish," said Mark Harmon. "It's interesting to go into a hotel room and turn it on. It's hard to get away from."

On set the stars toasted their success with sparkling cider, while President of CBS Television Studios David Stapf explained the show's allure.

"It hits those universal themes -- right winning over wrong," said Stapf. "It has heart, it has humor, it has characters that you fall in love with."
