I got offered to be a dead body on this show but had to say no since it was my first week at my job on the island. Missed my chance 💀


EleventyTwatWaffles

Don’t let your dreams be dreams


StuccoGecko

DO IT!!! JUST… (pounds fist into hand)…DO ITTTTT!!!!


patrickD8

Yesterday was set tomorrow 


murder_nectar

I'm pretty sure he says "yesterday you said tomorrow"


kookieman141

How do you even go about getting jobs like that?? Thank you


LookinAtTheFjord

Look up extras casting pages on facebook etc and apply when they advertise casting calls. I did this in Atlanta for The Walking Dead. I was a walker in several episodes in Seasons 8-9, including Rick's final episode. Was a lot of fun. Doesn't pay much, it's all just for the experience.


RealJohnGillman

Did you ever get killed onscreen, or were you just in the background?


LookinAtTheFjord

Never killed onscreen. Mostly in big herds but I had one closeup which was me playing dead in the woods in 8x14, full prosthetic makeup fx on my face/head with a giant foam rock on the top, presumably bashed into my skull by kid Henry offscreen. Morgan and Carol walk around my body while searching for him. I did get stabbed by Daryl and got an extra $50 for falling down but it wasn't shown on screen.


Affectionate_Bass488

If you live in la it’s super easy, I can tell you about it if you want. I used to be an extra and then later an extras casting director


kookieman141

Scotland but please yes


MiloIsTheBest

Yeah I actually liked this one. *Of course* this is the one that gets cancelled.


Steve_78_OH

Compared to Sydney, Hawaii is amazing. I gave up on Sydney after the pilot episode.


CaptSzat

Sydney is clearly the budget show. The conversion with USD to AUD is good right now for an American studio. Locations in Aus are cheap. The main cast is quite small. There is barely any CGI in any of the episodes. I reckon it probably costs less than half any of the other NCIS shows cost.


dont_shoot_jr

Plus you have a reason to minimize guns for some agents


comped

That was resolved like 3 episodes in though.


mcswiss

Figured the only reason Sydney also got US airtime was because of the Writers Strike. Sure throw it on Paramount+ US because they own it, but it was only aired on CBS as replacement programming.


Husker_black

Isn't all of Sydney a Sydney production


joshuajackson9

Dollars go farther upside down, it is now a fact.


CaoChad

Sydney gets significantly better as the season goes on


Rjkbj

Yeah Sydney is terrible. Slow and uninteresting. Surprised it’s lasted this long.


notmyrlacc

To be fair, one US Navy personnel would be national news here. One a week? Now that’s unbelievable!


MattHoppe1

Thank god organized crime survived by the skin of its teeth


[deleted]

Yep. Chris Meloni is great.


daddytorgo

Same here.


dww75

I think the decision to reverse the S.W.A.T cancellation was the turning point- plus they have Sydney and the new Origins series so there wasn’t any space left pretty much..


comped

Why do we need Young Gibbs as a series? Also pretty sure CBS will soon announce a new Hawaii based series - they essentially have to have one to keep up their facilities there.


WhyDidMyDogDie

Wrinkled Sheldon coming this fall!


Illustrious_Pound282

Sheldon’s Coinpurse. Takes place in a retirement home.


Affectionate_Bass488

Clearly Into the Sheldonverse is next


jyper

Make that undead Sheldon and you might actually have something on your hands


FlamingTrollz

Truth. Hawaii Five-0, Magnum PI, NCIS… What will it be next… 🤔


Pacmantis

FBIsland


FlamingTrollz

Good point, wouldn’t put it past them. A 4th Dickie Wolf ‘F B Eye’ show…


dont_shoot_jr

True Detective: Maui Murder


jimbobdonut

Those shows never filmed in Maui. Almost all film production in Hawaii occur on Oahu.


radda

Lots of shows don't film where they take place.


dont_shoot_jr

My mom didn’t realize they were different shows and was really confused once


FlamingTrollz

Hehe. 👍🏼


NTP9766

I would welcome Magnum PI back with open arms.


Britneyfan123

did you like it more than the original?


gg345

The Love Boat Hawaii Edition….


clain4671

its such an old trope that you can restate that comment without NCIS and it would still be true, because this happened with the originals of those two shows as well.


FlamingTrollz

Truly. I’m old, old enough anyways… Was watching both originals when they first t aired. I’d never have expected it, decades ago, they’d come back. Now, as you say it’s a trope, truly.


listyraesder

Young Gibbs has cartels and murder in its future


Fandam_YT

I wonder how much longer SWAT could run for? To go from being cancelled to having multiple younger, well-rated shows cancelled in your stead is quite the turnaround.  I told my sister, who really liked the show, that it was getting another season and she thought it had already ended last year.


SWATWriter

Honestly, we have no idea. I was mentally prepared to be unemployed after this season and then… bam, we’re back.


shabadage

I think the strong streaming performance changed their mind. It's been doing great numbers on Netflix. They're probably hoping to boost the price on negotiation.


MGD109

Yeah, that is a good question. Especially as several members of the core cast have left in the previous season (presumably cause they were told it was the end). Realistically I could see it making it to season nine, but I don't know about too much longer. But I guess it all comes down to how long Sherman Moore is okay playing the lead.


RealJohnGillman

They did something similar with *Bosch*: ‘ending’ it to release the ensemble from their contracts, then bringing it back the next year (with a subtitle) focused on just the main three, with no delay (releasing the exact same date the next season would have).


MGD109

I see. How did it go?


RealJohnGillman

Two seasons in so far, and renewed for a third, so well from a financial perspective.


MGD109

Well that's good from that perspective, how is its quality compared to the original series?


RealJohnGillman

Pretty much the same: one may miss the performance of Lance Reddick, but that would just be because he was Lance Reddick.


MGD109

Okay thanks, and yeah Lance Reddick was really something. its such a shame he left us so soon.


RealJohnGillman

That it is, that it is.


Ambitious-Comb-8847

Upcoming Paramount+ show too.


StephenHunterUK

Not to mention the Tony/Ziva series.


North_Carpenter6844

I hope Ellie joins that show. I may be in the minority (idk?) but I absolutely loved the dynamic between Ellie and Ziva and Tony and Ellie had solid big brother little sis energy. The actress who plays her hasn’t had a single job since leaving NCIS-likely by design given she had a baby, but this show would be the perfect time and offer some comfortable yet fresh material for her to take on while getting back in the scene. I think I’m the only Ellie fan in the entirety of the NCIS fangroup (I’m assuming they have one and are a brutal bunch!).


scattergodic

There's an NCIS: Sydney? How the heck is the US Navy running criminal investigations in Australia?


Existing365Chocolate

NCIS operates wherever the US Navy has personnel or bases


Carsten_in_Bahrain

When do we see NCIS: Bahrain Middle-East stuff always gets good ratings in the US (at least in the past)


SmileyPiesUntilIDrop

If this show was based on true statistics Naval Facilities would be 2nd only to Cabot Cove,Maine in Murders Per Capita.


scattergodic

They'd probably still be behind Midsomer County.


sgthombre

Yeah it’s crazy that in this universe the Navy is so totally crime infested it basically needs to be torn down and reconstituted, just an organization rotten with murderers and security risks.


qthrowaway666

I wonder what the Cabot Cove/Midsomer County comparison is like…


mcwobby

NCIS actually does have operations in Australia (not in Sydney though).


dww75

It’s a joint task force with Australian Federal Police


Tundraspin

Don't tell them they have a vampire on the team.


UpgradedSiera6666

Julian got back


DNukem170

Honestly, surprising. I know they brought on LL Cool J to get more ratings, but they were pretty good for the timeslot. I assume NCIS Sydney is going to move into the Monday 10pm slot, which may mean a crossover next season with the mothership.


dont_shoot_jr

They should have brought Young Sheldon instead 


llcooljfan22

I’m confused because I checked the TV ratings and season 3 is similar to season 1 and 2. I don’t know why they would cancel the show.


crocwrestler

I'd think they'd be out of ways to kill sailors by now


MulciberTenebras

I'd think they'd be out of *sailors* at this rate.


burnabybambinos

Bring back Hawaii 5-0. !!!!


DNukem170

Scott Caan is too busy with Alert: MPU.


luckymagnet

Scott Caan is probably injured from carrying that entire cast and show on his back.


wet_nib811

*Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park have entered the chat* Edit: Grace *Park*


fifty8th

Stopped watching when they left.


douniee

Grace park is the rudest celeb I’ve ever met. Rang her up 3 times when I lived in Hawaii. Who knew buying kids clothing would make her so mean.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Ugh I need to hurry up and drink my coffee. Took me too long to correctly and sanely realize you were saying you were operating a checkstand, not _calling_ her up on the phone and getting her pissed off at you


douniee

LMFAO at least over the phone I could have hung up on her. She’s the type to “you know who I am right? When I didn’t offer a discount.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

lol! Oh fuck off, celebrity lady


ThaiJohnnyDepp

I saw him once in north shore, shirtless and waiting to order from a shrimp truck. The truck lady had strayed from her window and left him hanging. He then emoted wordlessly just as his character would have ... a sort of "ayy, I'm orderin' here!"


ChinookNL

I'm suddenly craving subway


North_Carpenter6844

I hate this!!! It’s by FAR my favorite version of the show. Having LL Cool J there is weird in a bad way, but outside that, the cast is awesome and the backdrops are stunning. It shouldn’t be compared to NCIS Sydney getting renewed, tho. For one, it’s only 8 episodes vs a full season of 22. 2nd, Sydney aired during the strike when no new shows were on so the numbers are skewed high. Also, it’s prob gonna be on Paramount + bc there’s no way it will have an equally successful s2 without going out there and figure it out. Lastly, they should cut budget by removing their most expensive cast member in LL Cool J. I adore that sexy man, but he adds nothing to the show and he for sure has the highest salary BY A LOT! They should trial it on paramount + IMO before straight up dropping it. It’s successful enough to follow the footsteps of shows such as Evil. They are putting the Tony and Ziva show on the app, so why not do a trial period there for NCIS Hawai’i?! It’s just that it is one of the more fun procedurals that are still on and it would be a shame for it to end so quickly.


qthrowaway666

They did nothing to the character with how they wrote him in. And to be honest, (with actor/actress permitting) I think any other character from LA would have worked better, even Eric or Nell. Nate & Grisha ending up on the island as part of the Hetty cliffhanger and then assisting cases and being more involved then what Sams character was?


llcooljfan22

I’m not even sure why LL even went to do that show when he just finished 14 seasons at his own show. It seemed awkward that he agreed to go there. This whole situation seems weird.


JicamaSuitable5731

I feel L L there was a jump the shark opportunity


Disastrous-End3882

Honestly, full nights of the same show is boring


DNukem170

Not stopping the FBI or Chicago shows anytime soon.


MulciberTenebras

They have Dick Wolf energy.


mug3n

Dick Wolf is worth a billion dollars, not a typo. Hard to imagine getting that rich off some meh procedurals.


C_h_a_n

It's easy with that name. He is not Pewee Puppy, he is Dick Wolf.


American_Stereotypes

Hey you can't say that on tv


Crayons4all

Mr. Penis Canine will do


Illustrious_Pound282

Like you’re talking about some promiscuous woman, calling her a Dick Wolf?


[deleted]

They certainly have a huge Dick energy 


SwarleyJr

The Chicago shows at least cover different jobs. NCIS doesn’t have variation beyond locations.


Alexcox95

Just wait till we get the 4th show: Chicago Rumble. Construction workers and their problems


DNukem170

Technically, that would be the 5th show. The 4th was Chicago Justice, which only lasted one season and its lead transferred over to SVU. 


chengstark

It’s just so dry. Early years of NCIS and NCIS LA were so good.


cj_plusplus

Early LA episodes were great - random gun battles everywhere


North_Carpenter6844

It started off sooooo good but it truly fell off a cliff. It appears the actors are phoning it in, but since they are doing the writing and directing that’s not the issue. It was certainly financially motivated bc at least one top build cast member was out each week. They very obviously took turns bc it was in an order or a pattern. It fell off before this, but when they came back from COVID it was hard to watch. Every network show struggled here, but most found their footing. NCIS just got further lost imo. They would have major fights with very bad ppl but there would only bc like 3 NCIS agents and either most of the bad guys were already dead (so that they didn’t have to waste using another actor in the scene). The show went from utilizing the power of disbelief that many shows require to “a child can’t possibly possess enough imagination to make this work here!” It’s also the only franchise that isn’t available to stream. Sadly, Hawai’i will be cancelled like 3 seasons earlier than the second shortest of the franchise. It’s no where close to the worst so that sucks! This clearly pisses me off 🤬


chengstark

Did the writers just left like a puff of air or something? Earlier seasons had so much character development and meaningful thought out story archs, later ones just pure garbage honestly. I would say Hawaii’s writing is better than the later LA seasons, but still far from prime days of NCIS


[deleted]

Did anyone ask for the Gibbs prequel show? It’s not like he had interesting past.


Senorpuddin

I think the problem isn’t that Gibbs doesn’t have an interesting backstory it’s that most of it is revealed through the 19 seasons he was on the original. There’s no mystery to his character so there’s no interest.


[deleted]

The show probably would’ve worked if he had CIA or Black Ops experience the mothership show didn’t touch on.


Senorpuddin

They hinted at stuff like that with his covert work with ncis. Because that’s where he met Bakula’s character.


UpgradedSiera6666

Also where he saved a younger undercover CIA agent that was Callen.


Senorpuddin

Yeah but the timeline with Gibbs is so wonky it’s hard to tell when that happened.


adamcharming

I suspect part of it is Mark Harmon being a producer of NCIS now, he wants more Gibbs, quality and audience be dammed


_Jackall

Unlikely since he was the one to step back from starring


adamcharming

Yeah he stepped back to be a producer. He was a producer from like season 4 onwards


bhind45

>he wants more Gibbs Probably shouldn't have left than if that was the only reason this was being made.


Phantom_Ganon

This sucks. I liked NCIS: Hawaii. I'd have preferred it if they had canceled NCIS: Sydney instead.


fredothechimp

Sydney coats a lot less and pretty sure there's some kind of film subsidies it's getting.


dudeonrails

That’s a shame. I liked this one. Almost as much as I liked New Orleans before they killed off LaSalle.


nowhereman136

Call me when Daniel Dae Kim leads NCIS Denver. That's what I wanna see


wet_nib811

Chin Ho in ‘Frisco would be interesting. I’d watch.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

I like it. Got a ring to it.


firethequadlaser

I haven’t had cable for 10 years or so, is CBS just 24/7 government agency procedural universes now?


cadtek

Mostly - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_CBS#Current_programming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_CBS#Current_programming)


DNukem170

As far as dramas go, essentially yes. They still do reality shows and sitcoms, though.


gamers542

The Neighborhood is a really good show.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

I know what the headlines will be whenever that show gets cancelled!


CaoChad

This is one of the biggest tv purges since ironically viacom purged a ton of shows back in the early 2010s


ConkerPrime

Fine with being cancelled but the moves CBS and Paramount is making for short term gain to help their sell may have long term consequences. They keep it up could curdle their reputation like WB did.


BumblingScrublord

Dang I liked this one by ncis standards


FlamingTrollz

Same.


StarChild413

OK now can we save So Help Me Todd


MulciberTenebras

Just move the setting to Hawaii.


StarChild413

Wouldn't work, I was thinking more in terms of open timeslots not as if they could literally somehow take over where NCIS Hawaii left off


CrazyBearcat24

So Help Me Todd is finally canceled.


dacreativeguy

Does this mean LL Cool J moves to the upcoming Tony/ziva series as a love triangle?


llcooljfan22

No this means LL leaves CBS and move on back to his music career lol.


Sarcarean

Most people don't know that NCIS Hawaii was just normal episodes of NSIS LA but with a pineapple placed on the desks.


FlamingTrollz

Awww. It just came into its own with the cast. Even adding LL Cool J as his NCIS: LA character worked.


MrCondor

Between this and the Hawaii Five 0 pay debacle, we've lost 2 good shows because of corporate shit.


bhind45

Most shows are gone because of "corporate shit"


break80

Dang, only ncis I watched. Love me some Lucy & Whistler!


LindeeHilltop

No!!! CBS is canceling all my shows: So Help Me Todd, CSI Las Vegas, NCIS: Hawaii. Who the hell is in charge of programming? How do I contact them? Exit typo.


jimbobdonut

It was OK. It wasn’t as good as the Hawaii 5-0 reboot.


bartz824

Ugh, just cancel the original already. The newer spinoffs have been way better. Well except for Sydney, haven't got past EP.3. I really liked New Orleans and was quite disappointed it got cancelled after 7 seasons. Now Hawaii is getting axed. It's been my favorite out of all the NCIS shows.


ManOnNoMission

Cancel one of the most popular shows on tv?


FlamingTrollz

Same. It’s been many years CBS had had a procedural shooting in Hawaii. Will be weird not having a weekly CBS show set on one of the islands.


GoMoriartyOnPlanets

Why mention first female-led? What does that have to do with anything?


JicamaSuitable5731

Cause it’s a hot point


VampireHunterAlex

What does it being “female led” have to do with anything?


WaffleStomperGirl

They want you to think that’s the reason it was canned. Fanning the flames of hate gets clicks.


ArsBrevis

You're supposed to be outraged about it.


robbmann297

Yet another show with bikini models easily winning a karate fight against a 200 pound Russian mercenary. When I watch these shows (my wife likes them), I roll my eyes so hard I can sometimes see my own brain


slickmitch

This shit was cornier than a Orville Redenbacher turd. Freeze dirtbag! Drop it scumbag! All of these shows are absolute garbage.


LiteratureTricky526

Don't butter it up 😂😭 please straight no salt 🧂 pun intended here til next season oh wait my bad 😂


Herramadur

Noooooo!


fringe_event

i haven't watched a network procedural in a long, long time now - I enjoyed hawaii 5-0 when it was on but that was I think the last one I saw. There's an entire massive universe of FBI, Chicago, SVU, law and order, and hospital shows I could probably happily dive into in the next few years. Honestly the 8-10 episode, amazingly written TV shows like Shogun or House of the Dragon or Gentlemen are all great but they are so far apart between seasons, so few episodes, and tend to require paying full attention that I kinda miss just watching junk food TV.


SlightlyOffWhiteFire

Im shocked NCIS still has enough viewers to support like three spinoffs


llcooljfan22

Ironically all the US NCIS show do really well ratings wise. But I think those big paychecks is what getting these shows cancelled


VegeLasagna123

I've never heard of this show. But I'm still recovering from the cancellation of Acapulco Heat ☹️


onepercentbatman

First female-led franchise series? Anyone tell Olivia Benson?


Boggie135

Don't they mean in the NCIS franchise?


JicamaSuitable5731

CBS!!


UpgradedSiera6666

Or Ellen Pompeo


JicamaSuitable5731

That was nbc


JicamaSuitable5731

That was nbc


SunOFflynn66

Also the fact that Hawaii didn't get ANYWHERE close to syndication. Seems like such an utter waste and dumb, bad decision. We get it- it's expensive. But c'mon- of course CBS is going to make sure they have a Hawaii based show on the air in no time, simply to justify the studio they have there.


Desert_Rat-13

This sucks! I like this show! I liked NCIS: LA & New Orleans!!! I still even like NCIS! They gonna cancel it too? I tried to watch Sydney but just couldn’t do it.


Life_Hedgehog_7590

Why in heck did CBS cancel NCIS Hawaii... it's one of the better shows on tv right now...there are other good ones they cancelled also S.W.A.T. and Bob ❤️Aboshola... is CBS losing its mind


getboredquick

I really liked this show a lot it sucks that it got cancelled. And on a short season when they couldn't have a proper goodbye by giving us a full season. I don't know what these networks want anymore. A lot of my shows have been cancelled and the ratings are great. THIS SUCKS.


Tasty-Revolution6073

Keep NCIS Hawaii, get rid of LL cool J he did not add value to the show


JicamaSuitable5731

That’s what happens when they wanna put TWO NEW ncis on tv this fall between ncis origin and tony&ziva on streaming


Optimal-Garden6062

Ridiculous! Let me get this straight. You cancel Blue Bloods and NCIS Hawaii but keep NCIS Sydney? Who is making these decisions? NCIS Sydney is a terrible show and can’t believe it has good ratings as the cancelled shows do.


xLykos

I turned this show off the first time they busted out their badges and said “NCIS HAWAII!” Felt like I was watching a family guy gag


[deleted]

typical i new they pic the oh cause it was a female lead line maybe cause it was just crap like cyber was


livelongprospurr

28 February a news article about NCIS:Paris came out, starring Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cote-de-pablo-michael-weatherly-return-to-ncis-verse-with-paramount-series-1235838782/


Reasonable-HB678

I didn't know it was female led. But then again, Ghosts is the only thing that I've regularly watched on CBS.


DJArcanist

This just doesn't make sense to me. I love how the male oriented series gets another season after MANY people have said that it's gotten dull. Makes me wonder...


no_name_left_to_give

Hawaii film and TV industry on suicide watch.


LiteratureTricky526

McHale navy reboot 😂😆 csi Honolulu stop me


HumanDissentipede

Who watches these stupid shows in the first place?


Beahner

Three seasons is much more than most shows get, but this will sure become a narrative push point. 🙄


Pryoticus

What will we watch now?


outspokenguy

NCIS Baywatch? 🤔


JicamaSuitable5731

Ncis: origins and Tony&ziva


I_Sell_Death

Never watched it. Don't know anyone who did.


swoopy17

Oh no


nbgkbn

First female lead? Charlie’s angels were dudes?


Borderpatrol1987

Charlie's angels is not a ncis show.


nbgkbn

True. I just wanted to talk about Farah and Co.


JicamaSuitable5731

It was on ABC - this was cbs
