About JAG
JAG aired on NBC and CBS from September 1995 to April 2005 for ten seasons and 227 episodes. It follows Navy lawyers Harmon Rabb and Sarah MacKenzie trying military cases around the globe with Bud and Harriet beside them. The show moved networks after season one without rebooting the office.
The season eight episodes Ice Queen and Meltdown launched NCIS as a backdoor pilot, making JAG the parent of the whole universe. No revival has been ordered, with Harm and Mac's finale engagement closing the office rather than passing it on.
Good to know
Watch one through ten in broadcast order, fitting the NCIS pilot episodes inside season eight where they aired. The Harm-Mac slow burn spans the whole run by design, so skipping seasons breaks the payoff. Later years lean into the personal stakes over the case plots, which land best with the early service years fresh.
