I started watching JAG about a year ago. I fell in love with the show immediately. The episodes are well written, humorous, and sometimes controversial. I am also a huge Navy fan, so it definitely attracts my attention when shows revolving around the military air. However, please don't let that last comment sway you if you are not as gung-ho about the military as I am. The show is essentially "Law & Order" (another one of my favorites) with the Navy as the backdrop. The characters are very well developed, and they grow with each episode. Too often, shows err by keeping their characters stagnant. If you haven't watched an episode yet, try it! I don't think you'll be sorry.

After my last comment was posted, I read some of the other comments again. Everyone seems to just hate the football tossing staff meetings. The first time I saw that, I thought "what a great idea!" As a member of corporate America, I have been involved in enough staff meetings to know that they can be a drag. I myself have had to fight to stay awake or focused in many of them. If there was a threat of someone chucking a football at me when I least expect it, then I'd probably be more apt to pay attention. Just because a football is used as a way of keeping everyone's focus doesn't mean that the meetings are any less important. I would love to see it implemented in my company.

I watched "The American Embassy" from the show's premiere. I fell in love with it right away. The writing was clever, funny, and much better than most new shows I've seen lately (and significantly better than "Ally McBeal"). Arija Bareikis is great as Emma Brody. The audience can believe that she is mature and intelligent enough to be a vice consul.

I am deeply disappointed that FOX has decided to cancel the series. I was looking forward to the show every week. I sincerely wish they would have given the show more of a chance. I guess I have to go back to watching movies on Mondays for lack of anything better on TV.
