For the record
Hot Property: The column in Sunday's Real Estate said Mark Harmon, star of the series "Navy NCIS," purchased a Malibu compound. The actor was not the buyer, it was bought by someone with a similar-sounding name. And the title of Harmon's series is "NCIS." The column also identified Gracee Arthur as an associate manager with Sotheby's International Realty in Malibu. She is with Ewing & Associates Sotheby's International Realty.

'NCIS' Marks Its Fifth Year With A Rare Feat: It's Getting Older But Better In The Ratings
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Scan a list of TV's top 10 programs and you'd expect to find the durably popular ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.'' But now it's got unlikely company from another series with an alphabet-soup title: ''NCIS.''
CBS' drama about Navy crimebusters has managed the neat trick of climbing in the ratings in its fifth season, even as many new shows and some veteran ones are finding it tough this fall to woo viewers.
''NCIS'' also endured a behind-the-scenes drama last season, a clash between star Mark Harmon and series creator Don Bellisario. That was followed by a shakeup in which the daily production duties handled by Bellisario passed to others.
If the changeover has been difficult it can't be gleaned from talking to Harmon or, especially, new executive producers Charles Floyd Johnson and Shane Brennan, who sound enthusiastic about their efforts to keep the veteran series fresh. (Its 100th episode airs next week at 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday.)
Then there's those stellar ratings. Last season, it averaged 14.5 million weekly viewers to rank 17th among all shows. For the week of Oct. 15, it drew more than 17.5 million viewers to gain the No. 6 position. It's just behind ''Grey's Anatomy,'' proving that sexy young things have yet to achieve a TV monopoly.
'''NCIS' is the little show that could, a true hit that does not get the attention it deserves,'' said Marc Berman, analyst for Media Week Online.
The series even holds its audience against the January-to-May gale force of Fox's top-rated ''American Idol,'' a rare achievement.
''NCIS'' has an international following as well, in Europe, Australia and elsewhere.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Harmon sounded pleased but pragmatic about being part of a hit with legs. He recalled the studio celebration held during the filming of the century-mark episode and the thicket of media and cameras that covered it.
''We had a big cake with '100' on it and standing right next to me was (cast member) Cote de Pablo,'' Harmon said. ''In the middle of the photographs she said, 'Whoa, this is kind of a big deal.' I told her, 'I've been standing by a cake that has a '2' on it.''
Bellisario is accustomed to creating TV successes, with credits that include ''Magnum, P.I.'' in the 1980s, ''Quantum Leap'' (1989-93) and ''JAG'' (1995-2004). He explains the formula.
''When I create a show, I don't tell it all right away. And I don't do serial shows. I do mini (story) arcs within a series, try to make very interesting characters that are different from one another and with a lot of humor,'' he said. ''That attracts an audience.''
Now ''NCIS'' duty falls to Johnson and Brennan (Bellisario retains the title of executive producer as well). Their job, they say, is to build carefully on a ''solid template.''
''When considering where to take the show, we realized there are unanswered questions about Gibbs and Abby and McGee and Ducky,'' Johnson said, naming the characters played by Harmon and co-stars Pauley Perrette, Sean Murray and David McCallum.
''We decided it's a great time to answer those questions, and we're turning snippets into story arcs,'' he said. Those story lines inevitably carry more emotional impact - as well as a certain risk.
''Not all bets are off,'' said Johnson, who's worked on the show from the start. ''The trick is to maintain the show that the audience knows and loves, a procedural but with a strong core of humor and character interplay.''
Added Brennan: ''We're lifting the veil; not pulling it off, but giving them (viewers) a little peek.''
Harmon said he's comfortable with the shift.
''We're all part of favoring growth ... they (Brennan and Johnson) have pushed that forward this year and the audience has responded,'' he said. ''The actors have, too, but sometimes the actors respond and the audience doesn't.''
There are other changes Harmon favors, particularly a less onerous filming schedule.
''We work hard to keep this show what it is. That we're working 12 hours a day versus 16 hours doesn't mean we're working less hard. There's a pride that drives us,'' Harmon said.
He doesn't draw a connection between the schedule and Bellisario's departure; in fact, he refuses any comment on the latter.
But Harmon, self-effacing in interviews and viewed as one of the industry's reliably nice guys, was reported last spring to have taken exception to a supposedly ''chaotic'' production environment.
Bellisario said he would prefer to let the matter rest.
''I have a different view than Mark Harmon does of the whole situation, obviously. But it's past and I'm not going to go there,'' he said. Asked if Harmon was the reason he left, he paused, then replied: ''Yes.''
Bellisario has established shows before and then moved on to start yet another. This time, he decided to take a year or so off from writing - he broke his vow this week, after five months - and then turn in a new direction. Or directions.
He's pondering writing a play, a novel and is resuming work on two film projects that he'd put aside during ''NCIS.'' A cable-style limited run TV series is another possibility.
As for the new game plan for ''NCIS,'' Bellisario strikes a wait-and-see note.
''It's a matter of how it's executed. ... Turning to the characters' (private) lives, you've got to be careful with that. That one can come back and bite you.''

"Weather" is fine for Harmon and O'Kelley
Wed Jan 9, 2008 10:17am EST
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Mark Harmon ("NCIS") and Tricia O'Kelley ("The New Adventures of Old Christine") will star in the indie romantic comedy "Weather Girl."
O'Kelley plays the title character who, upon learning that her boyfriend (Harmon) has cheated on her, is fired from her gig on a Seattle morning show after freaking out on-air. Forced to move in with her little brother and to cope with being 35, single and unemployed, she begins an unlikely romance with a younger man -- her brother's best friend.
Patrick J. Adams ("Friday Night Lights") has been cast as Byron, the younger man, while Ryan Devlin ("Veronica Mars") will play the brother.
The film, being directed by Blayne Weaver, is set to begin production this month.

Hot property: Conan O'Brien settles on L.A. digs
Conan O'Brien isn't expected to take Jay Leno's place on The Tonight Show until 2009, but he will soon move closer with his purchase of a Brentwood compound listed at just under $10.5 million. The newly built, gated compound has six en suite bedrooms, including a master bedroom for O'Brien and his wife, Liza, that includes a sitting room, balcony and two bathrooms. The home, which the Multiple Listing Service notes was "just completed on one of Brentwood's most prestigious streets," has a screening room; a 1,500-bottle wine room; a paneled library with a bar; a 60-foot veranda; a pool; a spa; a pavilion with a fireplace; an outside kitchen; and canyon views. Inside are gracious public rooms, 10-foot ceilings and six fireplaces. The late-night talk-show host was announced as Leno's successor in 2004, giving him plenty of time to plan for the big move. Leno has been the host since 1992, when he replaced Johnny Carson. Ocean-view villa for a 'Navy' man Mark Harmon, star of the crime series Navy NCIS, has stirred up some Malibu real estate agents with his recent purchase of the compound Villa Vista Oceano, where the Stone Temple Pilots recorded the album Shangri-La Dee Da. The compound, leased by various bands over the years, was due to be auctioned. Instead, it was sold to Harmon for $9 million plus an 8 percent premium, paid to the auction house. The quick switch from auction to direct sale was unusual, as was a percentage going to the auction house instead of a real estate agent, according to Gracee Arthur, associate manager of Sotheby's International Realty in Malibu. A question mark over Neverland Reports have been circulating that Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch could be headed toward foreclosure. According to a Santa Barbara County Notice of Default report, the beleaguered pop star is delinquent on a $23-million loan. William Bone, founder and chief executive of Sunrise Colony Co., sold the ranch to Jackson in 1988 for $28 million. Jackson's financial woes have been widely reported, however, and now the fate of Neverland is in question. L. Londell McMillan, a Jackson representative, declined to comment.
