About This Quiz

So, you think you know everything there is to know about NCIS? Do you know what the name of the TV series was during its first year of release? We can hear your mind ticking away trying to figure it out. The answer is, "Navy NCIS." The "Navy" was dropped after the first season due to a redundancy of the title: Navy - Navy Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS). Consider this a gift of knowledge, because this may be the only question not on this quiz, but it sets you up for what to expect.

While NCIS is known for its spin-offs, can you figure out which popular TV series NCIS was a spin-off of? You may know that, but did you know that the NCIS characters were introduced in two full episodes of that original TV series?

Gibbs is arguably the most popular character on the show, and you'll get your fair share of questions surrounding him. From his past influences to questions such as who married his ex-wife and which branch of the military Gibbs served in.

Think you're ready? Order up a caf-pow, relax and take this quiz. Don't worry, you've got an entire NCIS team behind you if you need help.
