JAG (franchise)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article appears to be original research as I can find no reliable sources that verify NCIS to be part of a "Jag" franchise (Though a few unreliable blogs, forum posts, etc do discuss it as such.) While there are many reliable sources that discuss NCIS as a franchise - most of the material relating to that would be better placed within NCIS (TV series) unless there are further spinoffs in the future that would warrant the material being spun out from that article.

 * Weak Delete NCIS actually rose out of JAG in the first place as a backdoor pilot in the last season of JAG (specifically the episode Ice Queen (JAG)). Surely this can be sourced somehow, but in this form right now it's not made very clear at all in a morass of bulletpoints, statistics and grid lists. The history in the JAG and NCIS articles actually describe this better than this article right now.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 07:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I would contest that a backdoor pilot alone does not make the spinoff part of the same franchise - For example would you consider Mork and Mindy to be part of a Love, American Style franchise? The former being backdoor piloted in Happy Days which was it's self backdoor piloted in the latter. Even searching for sources that consider Mork and Mindy to be part of a "Happy Days Franchise" returns only 8 hits all of which are unreliable, and it's the same here when searching for sources that consider NCIS to be part of a JAG franchise. Yes it started there, but it shares no title similarity, there is no main cast continuity (unlike NCIS & NCIS:LA which share both), there is no similarity in the genre of show, The only franchise I see here is the NCIS one and reliable sources seem to favour that position.
