\u201cNCIS\u201d is still one of CBS\u2019s most popular shows after nearly two decades on the air. Because the show and its various spin-offs consistently draw millions of viewers, viewers can expect to see them on the network for the foreseeable future (per TV Line).<\/p>\n

\u201cNCIS,\u201d which debuted in 2003 as a spin-off of \u201cJAG,\u201d follows a group of agents as they solve cr1mes involving the United States Navy and Marine Corps, ranging from murd3r to theft to other atrocities that are too disturbing to mention.<\/p>\n

\u201cNCIS\u201d does not reinvent the rules of procedural cr1me dramas, but viewers can always expect mystery, action, entertainment, and a cast of strong characters to provide drama.<\/p>\n

Of course, some characters haven\u2019t been popular with \u201cNCIS\u201d fans over the years, and that sentiment isn\u2019t limited to the villains who make life difficult for the heroes.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, which \u201cNCIS\u201d character is considered the least popular by fans?<\/p>\n

According to fans, DiNozzo is the least likable character on NCIS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looper polled \u201cNCIS\u201d fans in the United States to find out which character they find the least likable. Anthony DiNozzo Jr. (Michael Weatherly) was voted the worst by 24.43% of the 618 people polled.<\/p>\n

However, some viewers believe Tony has aged poorly on \u201cNCIS,\u201d so, as surprising as the poll result may be to some long-term viewers, he has been in people\u2019s bad books for a long time.<\/p>\n

DiNozzo was followed by Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) with 19.90% of the vote, while Ducky (David McCallum) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) received 18.61% and 14.24%, respectively.<\/p>\n

12.30% of voters think Leroy Jethro Gibbs is the least likable character, but it\u2019s possible that some of those voters are still upset about Mark Harmon\u2019s departure from \u201cNCIS\u201d in 2021. To this day, Gibbs is arguably the most associated with the franchise.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Abby (Pauley Perrette) received only 10.52% of the votes cast, despite being the most popular character among those polled.<\/p>\n

This could be the most surprising and perplexing revelation from the findings. As\u00a0Cheatsheet<\/a>\u00a0pointed out, Abby was once regarded as the worst main character in \u201cNCIS\u201d history, but the forensic scientist appears to have matured over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
