RBR-TVBR note: Just totally enjoyed the first appearrance by Ralph Waite to the NCIS series and watching series star Mark Harmon (got to love that stage name of Leroy Jethro Gibbs) went face-to-face and you see where Gibbs gets his, well, quirks, which Waite demonstrated many years ago on the ‘Waltons’ series.
Age has done Waite well and his acting actor fits perfect with TV son Gibbs. The writers made us actually believe they were father and son. Especially when Waite handed Gibbs a set of car keys and seeing the face on Gibbs being almost like a teenager getting his first car from dad. This episode of ‘Faith’ you will not want to miss and to watch over again DVR it.
