The author argues that while Mark Harmon's return in 'NCIS: Origins' was a step in the right direction, a true 'Gibbs' return should happen in a different capacity.

Those involved in the production of NCIS after Harmon left have fought for the series to stand on its own. Many were cautious in believing that NCIS would survive after Harmon's exit, but the series paved the way for a different show after Gibbs left.
