Trivia:

During the last half of season 8, Catherine Bell was shown mostly behind a desk or holding something in front of her because she was pregnant. Her character pretended to be pregnant during the last couple of episodes of the 8th season, then threw away the padding during the Season 9 premiere - because Bell had given birth during the summer hiatus.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: The hull numbers on ships often do not match the ones displayed on the base caps etc. worn by the crews.

Quotes:

Admiral Chegwidden: [Harm and Mac are constantly saying the opposite of each other] Can the two of you agree on anything?
Mac: [simultaneously] Yes.
Harm: No.

A Few Good Men + Navy Seals = JAG

JAG is one of the better military dramas on television. The cast is as good as the weekly story lines and production value. Although many are not a fan of the series, its hard to say that the series hasn't produced a number of quality episodes. Also, Catherine Bell is amazing! Eye candy with a pulse, Catherine Bell is fun to look at and can act. Her Demi Moore character as the pretty but witty lawyer adds to the series. Many leading women who are considered to have amazing physical assets are not always terrific actors. Catherine Bell is an exception. Although she is a supporting character in JAG, she could have been the star of the series and had just as good reviews. JAG is a fun and also serious television show that has a strong audience base of fans.
