i *have* seen several episodes of NCIS LA, and if the original is anything like it, harmon must have run up an incredible body count in 18 seasons

I occasionally watch the LA show on a basic cable channel called ION that runs nothing but police procedurals - Blue Bloods, Law & Order: SVU, Chicago PD, Hawaii 5-O, etc., etc. - and it's darkly hilarious to me that ION's slogan is "Positively Entertaining," because every one of those shows, Hawaii 5-O in particular, is an absolute slaughterhouse. I mean, Chicago PD should change its name to Government-Sanctioned Murder Squad and it's not an episode of NCIS: LA if at least three people don't wind up dead by the end.

Iirc, ION started out with a broader lineup of shows, including sitcoms like Alf and Perfect Strangers, but I may be confusing them with Cozi or something.

Self-XP Checking their wiki, I didn't realize ION started out as the late UHF staple PAX network, an off-shoot of HSN which ran a mix of Christian and family programming before sliding into Infomercial City before the ION rebranding.
