NCIS 2021: CBS viewers blast schedule ‘torture’ as season 18 delayed ‘Tough watching!’

By

 NCIS fans are aching to get their hands on the next episodes of season 18, but CBS’s latest schedule updates have confirmed they’ll be reeling over the latest cliffhanger for some time.

The 10th episode of NCIS’s spectacular new season wrapped up last Tuesday with the shock111ng permanent suspension of team leader Leroy Jethro Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon). Unfortunately, tonight’s schedule shake-up on CBS won’t be the last as fans realised they’ll be waiting for three whole weeks for the series to continue.
CBS audiences have logged on to express their anger at the latest delays to the tension-filled 18th season of cr1++me-solving staple NCIS.

Episode 10, ‘Watchdog’, concluded with a jaw-dropping new twist to the proceedings, and fans were more keen than ever to tune in for another dose on Tuesday night.

Sadly, their appetites remained unsatisfied as many viewers were unaware the popular crime procedural is currently taking a brief hiatus.

Although fans are used to the series skipping a week to allow production to catch up to CBS’s release schedule, NCIS won’t be returning until Tuesday, April 6.


The news was made especially frustrating considering Leon Vance’s (Rocky Carroll) decision to place Gibbs under indefinite suspension at the end of the latest episode.

Upon hearing the latest release updates, NCIS enthusiasts flooded social media to hit back at the show’s unexpected hiatus following the biggest twist of the season so far.

On Twitter, one fan said: “Gibbs suspended indefinitely? WTF is going on?!

“And if that’s not enough, we don’t have a new episode next week? This will be TOR+TU++rE!!”



One more viewer said: “The suspense from that fallout will be haunting me.”

When another Twitter user clarified the length of the current break, they added: “That’s going to feel like an eternity.”

The next episode, ‘Gut Punch’, will be airing two weeks from today and is expected to handle Gibbs’ newfound life away from the NCIS office.

Leon Vance himself, Rocky Carroll, will be stepping behind the camera to direct the next outing, written by NCIS mainstay Christopher J. Waild.
There are, of course, hopes that the special agent will somehow find his way back onto the team in time for NCIS’s still unconfirmed 19th season.

However, series lead Mark Harmon is reportedly undergoing negotiations to take on a more limited role, so there’s a strong chance his suspension could stick.

To make matters worse, these burning questions may not be revealed for several weeks to come as fans can expect more delays to hit NCIS in April and May.

CBS have recently confirmed the NCIS finale, the 16th episode overall, won’t hit screens until Tuesday, May 25th.
With seven weeks between the 11th and 16th episodes of the season, this means fans will have to go at least two more weeks without NCIS during this period.

Thankfully, fans also have the continuing seasons of NCIS’s two spin-offs to look forward to.

NCIS: Los Angeles season 12 and NCIS: New Orleans’ seventh and final instalment will both conclude on Sunday, May 23.

NCIS season 18 continues Tuesday, April 6 on CBS.

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

By
If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

By
  Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...
