JAG

JAG (Judge Advocate General's Corps) the TV series spanned ten seasons, starred David James Elliott and Catherine Bell, and was created by Donald Bellisario. It is the only television program to ever be endorsed by both the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps. Two hundred and twenty-seven episodes aired from Sept. 23, 1995 to April 19, 2005. NBC initially cancelled the show after its first season, subsequently being picked up by CBS where the show found a significantly increased audience share and remained for nine more seasons. Initially, the networks were reluctant to produce the show and the Navy was hesitant to provide the show any cooperation in terms of material or personal support (backdrops for government-owned sites, stock footage, military extras, etc.) NBC's original objection was that "No, nobody likes the military."
