"NCIS": "In the Best Interest of the Show"

One issue I didn’t think about CBS President Nina Tassler having to deal with was the tiff between “NCIS” Executive Producer Donald Bellisario and his star Mark Harmon that resulted in Bellisario leaving the show. But Tassler got several questions asking about the nature of the fight…

Tassler told critics that it wasn’t unusual for a star to fight with a showrunner, but she wouldn’t reveal the issues in this particular situation. She did admit that she tried to mediate the argument without success.

However, she said that it was “resolved in the best interest of the show.”

If Bellisario had more episodes planned like the season finale, his departure is absolutely in the show’s best interest. Maybe that horrible finale is what the fight was about…

“NCIS” premieres Tuesday, September 25th at 8 p.m. on CBS…
