Without Meg(Tracey Needham) this show is weak. Meg was the best female counterpart to Harm. Not sure who "ordered" Her from the series, but I read that Nbc cancelled after the first season, then cbs picked the series up and meg was dropped. NBC has a giant habit of Cancelling great series, because the network is very greedy and they don't understand quality until AFTER they cancel. I can't watch NBC, ever since 2009 when they cancelled Conan to rehire unfunny Jay Leno. I saw then how greedy and misguided nbc was. Anyway, when I'd see re runs of this show about 10 years ago, I only saw the episodes without Meg. They aired on USA network. I actually met one of the cast mates at Trader Joe's and he told me to try any acting gig I could get. He was in the cbs series, not the first season. A channel just started airing 8 hours of JAG on Wednesday's. Until then, I never knew about the first season nor Meg! But the more I see Meg, the More I LOVE HER! Seriously! I love Meg so much, I wasted 2 hours earlier today searching for Tracey Needham social media to see how She is, now. I couldn't find Her, but Her daughter and husband have stuff. Her Daughter is taking after the Mom with same eyes and face and HEIGHT! Wow! Anyway, It's sad to see such a great actress like Tracey Needham cut out of this Show. I don't know who's decision it was to replace Her, but I've seen both the NBC AND CBS versions of this show and can say I personally think First season was the best because of MEG. Without Her, it's not the same. Once I've seen Her season, I can't see any other Woman replacing Her. It just doesn't work. She was the perfect Woman. Beautiful, sexy, smart, Strong and Passionate. If I had to work with Her in the military, as my partner, I'd lose composure because She's perfect as Meg. Every time opening credits come on with Her and I see Her, I always say "That Woman is PERFECT!" I honestly hope Neither She nor Her husband or daughter ever read this. But if they do, I hope they understand How POWERFUL and Amazing She is as an actor. I hope She returns to acting, but I doubt it. I hope She's happy with whatever She's doing, now. Maybe Her daughter can do some acting. In a few years, Her daughter will be just like a Her Mom in age and appearance when She was on this Show. Anyway, this Show could've maintained its greatness from season 1, but they dropped Meg. Sad. Seriously, Who decided that when She had the best Chemistry with the male lead?

Most of JAGs episodes were top-notch both in story line and in acting. There was great creativity in producing each show. Even the second to the last episode was well-done and in alignment with the other episodes. But the finale was a great disappointment. I thought it was a mediocre ending to a fantastic series. It was like they just decided to trash all that they had done and accomplished for the sake of seeing who could get out the stage door the quickest and with the least effort. And it was like the producer and CBS just decided that the viewing audience wasn't important anymore. All of the loyal fans they had acquired through the years were just thrown to the wind. Nevertheless, I loved the series from start to second from the finish!

I became a JAG fan in 2002 and saw as many as I could until it ended in 2005. I won't spoil that but it is worth seeing. I am not sure when it happened but at some point early this year on DIRECTV I noticed that they had USAHD (channel 242). I checked it out and found that they were running two episodes at 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM Eastern time every Monday through Friday.I immediately put the series on Record All Episodes on my DVR, the greatest new technology to come along. Since I can fast forward the commercials, I can watch a one hour episode in about 40 minutes. That allows me to keep pretty current with seven days to watch ten 40-minute episodes.When I started, they were running episodes from 1999. It was great getting to watch episodes that happened before I started watching, especially at the rate I have been watching. At this accelerated rate, Today I just caught up to an episode I had seen in 2002. At this point they are running a lot of episodes pertaining to post 9/11 current (then) events in Afghanistan.I do not know if they are going to keep on running them, but as long as they do I will be recording and watching. Even if you do not get HD, they are running them on the normal USA channel.I highly recommend you record this series and watch it from here on. It gets better and better.

I feel that they should bring back the JAG shows and run them over from the beginning to the end. They do re-runs of other shows over and over year after year and I get tired of seeing some of these shows all the time. I feel that with the movie JAG it helps us focus on some of the ways the Military is governed. It also helps the public see how the life of the real people that are the true JAG's in today's life live, and maybe how their lives go when they have to defend the people in the Armed Services. I truly wish the old cast would get back together and do more new episodes of JAG. With everything that the United States has gone through since 2001 if the old cast could come back I feel that the ratings for Jag would go higher than any show. And I don't think it would be as good and have as good of ratings unless all the cast were brought back together. It is the best show in the world.
