About JAG

JAG, the military legal drama that premiered in 1995, was a hit with audiences and critics alike. The show followed the cases and personal lives of the lawyers and officers of the Judge Advocate General's Corps, or JAG, as they navigated the complex world of military justice. With its mix of courtroom drama, action, and romance, JAG quickly became a fan favorite and ran for ten seasons.

At the heart of the show was the dynamic between the two lead characters, Navy lawyer Harmon Rabb Jr. (played by David James Elliott) and Marine lawyer Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie (played by Catherine Bell). Their on-again, off-again romance kept viewers hooked, while their legal skills and dedication to justice made them compelling protagonists.

JAG also tackled important issues facing the military, such as sexual harassment, PTSD, and the use of drones in warfare. The show's attention to detail and accuracy in portraying military life earned it praise from veterans and active-duty service members.

While JAG never achieved the same level of cultural impact as other '90s dramas like ER or Friends, it remains a beloved part of TV history. Its legacy can be seen in the spin-off series NCIS, which features JAG character Leroy Jethro Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) as its lead.
