NCIS has been around for what seems like forever, but the quality of this crime procedural has somehow never fallen below acceptable levels, always keeping its viewers engaged and entertained. However, like any long-running show out there, NCIS has had some pretty controversial endings over the years, with both leading and beloved supporting actors leaving the franchise altogether from time to time.
