- The cases of Harmon Rabb, former Navy fighter pilot, and his fellow lawyers of the U.S. Navy's Judge Advocate General's office.
- Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie are JAG lawyers, who together investigate and litigate crimes committed by Navy and Marine personnel. Occasionally, they engage in adventurous activities in order to solve their cases. With Rabb's fighter pilot background, and MacKenzie's good looks, they are a hot team both in and out of the courtroom.
- JAG is one the finest television series ever produced. It was a largely underrated series until the wave of patriotism that followed the tragedy of 9/11. In the period of time that followed, many TV viewers got their first exposure to the quality acting, writing and direction that made JAG a 10 year staple in many peoples lives. The top-notch acting of David James Elliott, Catherine Bell, Patrick Laboryteaux and John M. Jackson, the crisp scriptwriting and excellent direction kept JAG both interesting and relevant. Many of us gradually became so called "JAGniks", a title that still defines our love of the series today. JAG's faithful fans were rewarded with quality, which is sorely lacking in much of the TV fare seen now. If you have never seen JAG, give it a try, in reruns or on DVD. You won't be sorry.
- This series can be watched over and over again, and each time new details are seen. The actual shots of real naval operations are blended into the fictional story very well. Characters were built over a period of time to be believable. One week point - would a bumbling, naive over aged teenager like Bud Roberts ever have made Lt Commander in the USN? One certainly hopes not! Sympathy for his injury and battle to regain his mobility, plus appreciation for his personal life tragedies are one thing, but I feel his career skills , general usefulness to JAG and continued immaturity would deny such a promotion in the real world. The appearance of President Bill Clinton in several episodes was a real coup for the producers of the show - I enjoyed the scene where a chopper came to pick up Rabb when he was jogging in the vicinity of the Pres and his secret service guards. All in all, a really enjoyable series and I am glad that History Television in Canada is running it on an never ending cycle through all ten years of episodes.
- Throughout the fall, viewers have called and e-mailed, wondering how the producers of "JAG" make actor Patrick Labyorteaux appear to have suffered the same leg amputation as his character, Lt. Bud Roberts.<br/><br/>"He wanted to keep his job and he's a master of his craft, so he went out and blew up his leg," said Avery Drewe, a "JAG" post-production producer. He's kidding, of course. Drewe said the missing leg is achieved through a combination of effects, including Labyorteaux wearing a prosthesis and bending his leg so it's bound up behind him in a specially created rig.<br/><br/>"We work carefully with the camera angles so when he's walking toward us we can't see that," Drewe said. If his leg should peek out, it's digitally erased in post-production. A scene where Bud walked up the stairs combined special effects shots of Labyorteaux with shots of a real amputee. Now Bud has recovered to the point that he walks using a prosthetic leg with only a slight limp.<br/><br/>"Our writing staff wanted to make it accurate, so we tracked what the real progression would be," Drewe said.<br/><br/>Original article: http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20021219owen6.asp a5c7b9f00b
