” premiered in 2004 with news footage of George W. Bush boarding Air Force One transforming into a scripted scene of a fictional George W. Bush joshing about barbecue before one of his new bodyguard mysteriously drops dead. Forty-some odd minutes of Mark Harmon being right, Sasha Alexander frowning, and countless 9/11 references later, the bad guy is caught and the gang is free to solve another 18 seasons of weekly mysteries.

Surrounding Jane is the usual procedural team of people both determinedly professional and overly familiar. Her righthand man Jesse has seen it all before, and doesn’t expect new guy Kai to last very long. Resourceful Lucy usually gets her way, much to the chagrin of CIA rep Kate , though their bickering tends to turn into more enthusiastic making up.

As a simultaneous offshoot of and counterpoint to the original “NCIS,” “NCIS: Hawai’i” does make an effort to bring something else to the franchise. Lachey is the first person to lead an “NCIS” property” who’s not a white man; Tarrant’s Kai is a Hawai’i native who uses his more intimate knowledge of their island to his advantage; Lucy and Kate’s prickly flirtation doesn’t exactly look like Harmon and Alexander’s by default.
