Still the most complete JAG TV episode summaries (spoilers) found anywhere! Even if you are watching the DVD set, these help piece together the interwoven plots, recurring actors, back references, and subtle sub-plots. And, they are still being updated today as the episodes are shown in syndication and readers continue to offer corrections and enhancements.
Hidden Links and Backstories
These extensive JAG episode summaries are almost a blow-by-blow description, much of the time revealing things that you may have missed. In episodes where there is more than one plot line, this is a great help.
Character Scrapbooks and Ribbon Racks
Did you know that the production company hired a US Navy consultant to assure the technical accuracy of the episodes? This even extended into the ribbon racks the characters wore on their uniforms. Understanding which ribbons each character had “earned” helps understand their “back-story.”
Each of the major characters have been given a scrapbook to record the events of their lives. For Bud and Harriet Roberts the majority of it is their “wedding album.” For Harm and Mac, it’s not only their military career where they traded saving each others lives back and forth; but, their many friends and fiance’s AND their odd on-again-off-again courtship. There are also scrapbooks for JAG Kids, JAG Friends and Families, and JAG Bad Guys.
“Fair Winds and Following Seas”
The title “Fair Winds and Following Seas” will be instantly recognized by anyone who has served in the US NAVY. Close shipmates are bid farewell with this naval “blessing” representing the ideal underway conditions for which Sailors yearn and is it a fitting title for the final series episode.
In wisdom known only to them, CBS cancelled JAG – the longest running military drama on television with 10 seasons and 227 episodes to its credit. Even though it continually won its night in the overall ratings, ostensibly it didn’t have the “young demographic” so it was given the axe. Just a note: There were 734,085 unique, individual visitors and millions of page views before my former carrier, ATT, went out of web business and closed the original site. Now even in 2012 there are close to 11,000 page views a month as the series is in syndication around the world.
jag to me was the best show ever on tv. Harm and mac went through so much together, it’s ashamed we never did get to see who resinged their job and we never got to see their wedding. Please do one more show for the millions of jag fans. Thank you
Please bring jag back for one more show, the wedding.
I agree! After so many on-off relational issues between Harm & Sarah; it was cruel to not so show them finally together achieving heir long-held dreams
I don’t know if they will do a JAG movie but I certainly hope they do. I have just finished watching the 10 seasons and I’m starting round 2. I, for one, was exceedingly disappointed that they didn’t do much more with Harm and Mac. I really felt rather cheated. The writers spent so much time throughout the entirety of the series dealing with their ins and outs, but, during the last season, I felt like I was slapped in the face because they just never really gave the viewers any satisfaction of their relationship finally working out. I’m not criticizing just disappointed. Hopefully, the CBS people or whomever these comments may count with will take these sort of comments to heart and give us some satisfaction. (By the way… I have never left a comment about anything for any reason.)
