List of JAG episodes

JAG (U.S. military acronym for Judge Advocate General[1]) is an American legal drama television show with a distinct U.S. Navy and Marine Corps theme, created by Donald P. Bellisario, and produced by Belisarius Productions in association with Paramount Network Television (after 2006 known as CBS Studios).[2][3] The first season was co-produced with NBC Productions.

Originally pitched towards the studio, network, and later also marketed for audiences as a Top Gun meets A Few Good Men hybrid series,[4][5] the pilot episode of JAG first aired on NBC on September 23, 1995, but the series was later canceled on May 22, 1996, after finishing 79th in the ratings, leaving one episode unaired. Rival network CBS picked up the series for a mid-season replacement, beginning on January 3, 1997. For several seasons, JAG climbed in the ratings and was on the air for nine additional seasons. JAG furthermore spawned the hit series NCIS, which in turn spun off NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, and NCIS: Hawaiʻi.

In total, 227 episodes were produced over 10 seasons. At the time of the original airing of its fifth season in the United States, JAG was seen in over 90 countries worldwide.[6] JAG entered syndication in early 1999.

JAG had generally an older skewing audience: for the 2002-2003 season, the median age viewer was 58 (the same figure was also held by other CBS shows Becker and The Guardian).[265] As a comparison, for the same season, Law & Order and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on NBC had a median of 50, while The Practice and NYPD Blue on ABC had a median of 48.[265] However, as the article in Broadcasting & Cable states: "fewer broadcast network primetime series than [2013] had median age audiences over 50"[265]

Home media

[edit]

JAG was not available on DVD (or VHS, with the singular exception of the pilot movie, which was given a VHS release by Paramount Home Video in 1998[266] ) during the course of its original run.[267] It was suggested that a syndication deal with USA Network possibly prevented Paramount from issuing DVD releases.[267] Before it did happen in 2006, JAG was the second most requested TV series not commercially available on the TVShowsOnDVD.com website.[267]
