But, even so, he isn't going to emerge from the incident the same man."You're going to see physical changes, you're going to see emotional changes, you're going to see an accessibility in terms of who he is as a person." executive producer Gary Glasberg tells FOX411 in an exclusive interview. "It sets up a whole dynamic that will trickle down to the rest of the team for the rest of the season."So what is the trickledown effect?

This article, NCIS: LA: Densi Drama, Sam's "Greatest Challenge Ever" and More Teases from Season 7, originally appeared on TVGuide.com.NCIS: Los Angeles is rebooting itself as a family drama for Season 7. Sort of."The very heart of what this show is Callen's search for his family and this whole identity theme that runs through his particular story," creator Shane Brennan tells TVGuide.com. "So, thematically, everything we do this season, with all of the characters, at its heart it's about family. And where we end up at the end of the season is a story that is right at the heart of what a family is and what a family will do together."Sounds... cryptic. But what we do know is that, like any family, the NCIS: LA crew will experience plenty of ups and downs this season - and quite a few turning points for individual characters in the process."We have a pretty exciting season," Brennan promises. "We've got probably more in this season than we have in any other season, in terms of story arcs and revelations."Here are 5 things to look forward to on NCIS: LA this season:

How 'NCIS' became the world's most-watched show http://mashable.com/2015/09/22/ncis-worldwide-viewers/#poRILQwGjqq.

Sure, Game of Thrones is popular.But when it comes to the The World's Most-Watched Show, that title belongs to a series that doesn't get nearly as much ink as the question of whether Jon Snow is actually dead. That show: CBS's NCIS.For the last six seasons, the crime drama has more than held its own with cable TV beasts like Thrones and The Walking Dead, with its last season averaging 21.19 million viewers per new episode in the U.S. after 7 days of DVR playback. (Both cable shows hover around the 20-22 million range as well, streams and DVR playback included.)But worldwide, there's not really anything else like NCIS.The show garnered 55 million viewers across the globe in 2014, according to the network, and is licensed in over 200 markets worldwide and in over 60 languages — from Arabic to Vietnamese.And earlier this year, data company Eurodata TV Worldwide dubbed the show "The Most Watched Drama In the World" for the second year in a row. Other shows that have earned that distinction include House, CSI and The Mentalist.But the road to worldwide renown hasn't been a short one.When NCIS premiered in 2003, it was ranked No. 15 across television, with 12.3 million viewers, according to CBS. Strong, but not exactly the top of the TV food chain.It was international audiences, though, that first took notice of the D.C.-set drama and its band of crime fighters, according to David Stapf, President of CBS Television Studios."It was more successful internationally than it was domestically at first," he says. "After the first couple of years, our head of international Armando Nuñez called me and said 'Hey, are you noticing what's going on with NCIS overseas?The series was topping international markets all over the place, he said, like Italy and German.And its overseas appeal was made even more baffling by the fact that the show was about, essentially, investigators within a very specific part of the U.S. military."You would think that would alienate foreign audiences," Stapf says. "But when you look at the show, it's not so much about that. It's about heroes."That's a theme that resonates universally, he says."There's good guys and bad guys and the good guys are going to get the bad guys and they always win. And it's done with [characters] who genuinely love each other," he says. "We all have a Gibbs in our lives." (Mark Harmon has played Naval Criminal Investigative Service leader Leroy Jethro Gibbs for 12 seasons.)"I think [as] time has gone on, people have fallen more and more in love with the characters," Stapf adds. "It resonates all over the world."

Season 13 of NCIS promises to tackle current issues....Mark Harmon's Gibbs survives last season's cliffhanger with his health intact — mostly http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/22/ncis-season-13-current-issues-gary-glasberg

If you’ve been in a complete panic since the last season of NCIS ended on a cliff-hanger where Gibbs (Mark Harmon) was shot by a boy in Iraq, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The 13th season of the Navy procedural — and its sixth as the highest rated show on television — picks up moments later, and after being rushed onto a hospital ship and operated on by a surgeon (played by Jon Cryer in a multi-episode arc), Gibbs emerges with his health intact — mostly. “After this life-altering experience, Gibbs sees the world a bit differently,” says executive producer Gary Glasberg. “There are physical and psychological changes to him, which the fans and the rest of our NCIS family are going to be aware of. We all have to adjust to a different man.” Glasberg also promises more story lines this season with an awareness of the current political climate. “We’re in a never-ending communication with homeland security, with NCIS in Washington,” he says. “Whenever we can try to tackle a story that’s relevant to the military, that’s relevant to military and families, and our safety, it’s the kind of thing that we aggressively try to have our stamp on. We’re starting to discuss a storyline for NCIS that has to do with harassment on submarines. Now that female navy officers are allowed on submarines we have a storyline that involves that. We love to tackle the issues as best we can.”

NCIS Season 13 is set to air on Tuesday night, and fans of the show are already wondering what's in store. One major question that comes up each year around this time is whether or not actress Cote de Pablo will be back to reprise her role as Ziva David... and this very well might be the season that this happens (finally)! Warning: There Are NCIS Season 13 Spoilers Below According to the Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Gary Glasberg hinted at a possible Ziva David return. "Down the road, we'll continue to delve into the love life of Tony DiNozzo, and there might be some surprises for people a little further down the road into the season on that one, especially for our diehard fans," said Glasberg. "I don't know! We'll have to see what unfolds. I'm not going to say a word — I'm just going to say we'll definitely be getting into DiNozzo's love life," he teased. Could Ziva David be coming back into Tony's life? Will Cote de Pablo be filming with the cast for even just a small appearance? It certainly sounds like this is a possibility! Below you'll find out a bit more about what you can expect this season. "In the first dozen episodes of this season, we're really going to get into a lot of character stuff for each one of our team members. People should be prepared for a very, very active season. We're making an aggressive attempt to get everybody out, to do some things that we haven't done before," said Glasberg.

NCIS Recap: Gibbs Is! But How Does He Feel About That...? http://tvline.com/2015/09/22/ncis-season-13-premiere-recap-gibbs-lives/

The question now is: Does he want to?Rushed into surgery aboard the U.S.S. Daniel Webster, after being shot twice by Luke, Gibbs is taunted by Mike Franks, who said his friend “never saw it coming.” The ghost adds: “What does that say about us?”Gibbs was ably tended to by the chatty/quippy Dr. Cyril Taft (guest star Jon Cryer), a former chief trauma surgeon at Walter Reed NCIS Cryerwho once was courted to be POTUS’ personal physician. Taft announces that while they can easily give Gibbs a new knee, the second bullet shattered on impact and in turn spawned a buncha bleeders inside his chest.During surgery, Gibbs at first imagines himself in the big orange room beside an oblivious McGee and Bishop, the Most Wanted wall plastered with the faces of those Gibbs has lost.

NCIS Finale Recap: Who Lay Dying? http://tvline.com/2015/05/12/ncis-finale-gibbs-dies-season-12-recap-mark-harmon/

When NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg promises “a big Gibbs moment” in the season finale, he isn’t kidding.As the CBS drama closed Season 12 on Tuesday night, Gibbs, DiNozzo and CIA Officer Joanna “Dorneget’s Mom” Teague tracked abducted young Luke to Zakho, Iraq, where he has been spirited away by the kid-targeting, coded music-employing terrorist group known as The Calling.Once there, Gibbs split off from the others to track a suspicious girl. DiNozzo meanwhile took a call from Daniel Budd, the leader of The Calling, which already had targeted with S-bombs a marketplace in Egypt, the Grand Canyon and, likely next, the Supreme Court justices.Budd taunted DiNozzo, dismissing the “terrorist” label assigned him and contending that he simply wants to be “heard” and respected. Meanwhile, the suspicious young girl gave Gibbs the slip, her purpose seemingly served. And what might that purpose be? Seemingly to lure Gibbs into the open, so that Luke — yes, very young, orphaned Luke — could pop Gibbs twice with a pistol, once in the leg and again in the chest.Boss is down, folks. And the sad irony? It was at the hand of one of the very youth he had been worried for earlier in the hour, in conversations with Ghost Mike Franks. As Mike in fact warned, Gibbs gets so caught up in saving people, who will save him?

Is Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) thinking about proposing marriage to ATF Special agent Zoe (Marisol Nichols)?Bishop (Emily Wickersham) tells McGee (Sean Murray) that Tony and Zoe are having problems, but could the problem be that Tony is thinking about popping the question?

It sounds as if he might be interested in nesting.Tony teases his co-workers that if he gets the results he hopes for, they will have to call him "Lord Anthony."At the same time, Bishop is also having relationship issues. Things aren't getting any better between her and Jake (Jamie Bamber), so she plans a trip to St. Johns in the Virgin Islands so she and Jake can rekindle their marriage.Unlike last week, the "Incognito" episode is mainly about the case.
