I was 12 years old when I saw this episode and especially this scene on TV for the first time and I fell in love with JAG at once. Great show, great actors, and always a part of my youth! Thanks for that! Greetings from Germany😃
Hard to believe it has been 17 years since the series ended great show miss it!
Yep. And I still watch the reruns.
They got all of season 1 on Paramount Plus and about a handful of episodes for each following season.
Lies again? Serie A Leader Just Grab
Man, that F14 was a beautiful bird.
Unfortunately what F14 was known for was downtime, a fact that Iran learned. Also used non-standard parts and frequent electronics problems. The second crew member (and the additional weight), the REO, has been replaced by modern electronics.
@Cameron McKenzie I suppose having a car (REO) in the back seat is inconvenient.
The one in black and white is the F4 not the 14
@@MrFloppy131 Yes, but planes on aircraft carrier after the helicopter landed there are F14 Tomcats. I still like F4 Phantom II more than Tomcat
As Tomcat pilots would say "Any Time Baby!"
Love this scene with Harm. Almost like romance with the planes and all the action going on. It's also a great place to let the music shine.
i know what ship that is cvn 65 uss enterprise
I just noticed they used footage from the Top Gun opening that's hilarious
alexander martins they reuse a lot of movie footages, not just top gun
They had to. They were on a tight budget. Why reinvent the wheel?
@@28FlyingDutchman It wasn't just a tight budget. The Navy didn't cooperate with Paramount Pictures at first, so they didn't have access to real ships, so they used stock footage from their earlier works, which included Top Gun.
Maverick becomes a JAG Officer! Lol!
@@creole103 That was pretty much the concept of the show: Top Gun meets A Few Good Men. They even joked about it in the series at one point
The theme from JAG should deserve to be heard at least once on either NCIS,NCIS:Los Angeles,NCIS:New Orleans or maybe even Hawaii Five-0.
Already has on NCIS LA season 11 finally
Indeed. NCIS is, after all, a JAG spinoff.
It should be heard in all the NCIS shows at least once.
NCIS' actual pilot episode was a JAG episode. They later had the dude on NCIS: Los Angeles as a CAG.
@@soulenternia6835 It was heard in the last 2 episodes of NCIS's 10th season.
I've watched this episode dozens of times over the years and just now realized Harm didn't don his cover when he stepped off the helo in order to avoid exactly what happened to Commander Pike's cover. FOD on a carrier deck is nothing to mess around with.
Ohh boy, now you've got me interested in a crossover between JAG and Star Trek Strange New Worlds...
one of the best scenes in TV history
Jag was a successful series and spawned the NCIS tv universe. That is a very impressive legacy.
And NBC is kicking themselves for not renewing JAG for a second season
Harm‘s father would‘ve been happy to see him on an aircraft carrier in a Navy dress uniform.
Harmon Rabb Jr's dad would've been so proud of him for making it into the US Navy & becoming an aviator as well.
I’d rather have jag come back. The code doesn’t cut it
Strong entrance of amazing character
It has taken me 7 or 8 years to find the name of this show. I am so happy to have found it now
+Florian Berisha Glad you were able to find it!
+Florian Berisha
heh, the theme keeps popping in my mind from time to time. I watched the show when I was a kid. I think I need to borrow it from the internet if impossible to get a dvd release or whatnot.
I use the theme as my ringtone. One of my favourite shows of all time
A ballet on a flight deck .
This show made me want to go into the military when I was a kid. It's good to see a show that doesn't villianize the military.
Same Here Asher Elric
So you like propaganda then?
This is the Navy not military
Imagine the recruiters face when you tell them why you want to join! LOL!!!!
@@Schultzy1992 the Navy is part of the military.🤦♂️
I have had the privilege of talking to not only a supportive F-14 RIO but TOPGUN Instructor Lt Dave " BIO " Baranek a really kind caring professional man and friend
I had a chance to talk to Bozo that fly by scene from Top Gun still gets me.
I was always waiting for the ultimate crossover event; Admiral Harm meets Lt Lily Magnum to solve a crime that takes them Norfolk to work with NCIS agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. They could both coordinate with NYPD Commissioner Reagan (from a different timeline).
Pike's excitement at seeing the carrier is always fun. They could have had her be airsick or anxious like Jack Ryan in Hunt for Red October, but she's just having a ball.
I really liked her character - kind of a shame she was replaced.
@@RRattler07 honestly my favorite of Harm's coworkers. Andrea Parker had a sort of presence that Tracy Needham and Catherine Bell seemed to lack.
But then I like all three of them for different reasons. Meg Austin always cracked me up for how much she played up the Texan stereotypes.
@@Raguleader I agree. Each brought their own twist to the table. I had grown up watching Catherine Bell and when I bought the series and started from the beginning I found myself really digging Parker.
I love the extended version of the theme song in this scene, with the string portion that helps balance out the brassy first part.
+Raguleader nice insight. The score is quite lovely. I remember watching this pilot on NBC when it first aired. I don't remember the scenes, but I remember the score and how the composer was really hammering home that main theme.
+blkjock81 Yeah the string section at the end is great. In my opinion, this IS the full "JAG" theme. I really like how on the official soundtrack they included the instrumental of the "Harm and his father" scene; Really touching.
I am re watching the show after many forgotten years and our family loves it. The main character is so handsome I keep dreaming of him :))) he was well chosen.
DJE was made for the lead role and vice versa. No one more perfect. He’s gorgeous.
wow this brings back so many memories. Growing up i loved this show, i would watch it all the time with my family. I remember telling my dad that i thought of it as our family show because it was what we did together.
This is an exeptional series just for the fact that it run 10 seasons - there aren't many shows to achieve that today (and back then, a season was 20+ episodes as opposed to 10-12 today)! I would have loved to see Andrea Parker as the female lead throughout the entire show - her character was much more fun and flirtatious than Needham's or Bell's, and although Harm's first partner, she was the youngest of the three...
A standard network season is still around 22 episodes. The 10-12 number is more typical of mid-season shows and Cable dramas.
She was born to play Miss Parker on The Pretender.
jag season were 24,25 eps @@Missab4000
I love how almost all the F14 clips in JAG where pulled from Top Gun
1:29, 1:35, 1:44, 1:50 to 1:56, and 2:03
AND THE CARRIER IS THE CVN-65 UNITED STATES SHIP ENTERPRISE!
I noticed that too! I used to see her at Pearl Harbor as a Navy brat. There are certain features of her island that no other carrier has, that I instantly recognized.
In the show she was the USS Seahawk
Harm had terrific entrance.
Wow talk about a major continuity error harms not wearing his wings on his uniform he was a pilot long before a jag lawyer so he should be wearing his wings
When this scene was seen first time I bet that a lot of people would assume that Harmon was naval aviator because he looks so happy.
Well, considering that he was before becoming a lawyer, they would have assumed correctly.😎
@@willhorting5317 Really? Oh wow
@@willhorting5317 Thank you for this reminder. I have seen series before few times. That scene was before it was said that he was a naval aviator.
@@klaudiagrob It’s also interesting that Harm is not wearing wings with his dress whites (leading to Pike’s question about first time on a carrier, I guess), but subsequently he wears wings through the series.
@@nplus1watches35 after his crash, he was stripped of his wings, although because it was proven that he had a medical condition, and did not act negligently, he was allowed to stay in the navy. However, after he lands a tomcat at night at the end of the episode, saving the life of the CAG, the aviators decide to give him his wings back.
it real life they would be covering their ears & face from the loud noise of the carrier, helicopters, planes, & debris flying at their face
In real life they wouldn’t be on the flight line during flight quarters without the proper PPE or personal leading them inside/ telling them where to go 🤷🏻♀️
In real life they wouldn't wear dress whites either
There is nothing more beautiful than an aircraft carrier at sea.
This show is the entire reason why my family watch NCIS. NCIS did the crossover with JAG. And then it just took off from there. We still watch NCIS to this day.
Jag and Ncis never had a crossover. Jag episode ice queen serve as a backdoor pilot for ncis, then ncis did the same giving ncis la and ncis New Orleans backdoor pilots in episode of ncis. Ncis has had crossover with la and New Orleans but again no crossover with jag just the backdoor pilot.
And one of the big reason’s they did a two part back door pilot that year was because Cathrine Bell was pregnant with her 1st child. Making it a two parter made it easier to not have to film her.
typical movie/tv fashion, you are able to keep your hearing on a aircraft carrier while jets take off (and land) and still able to communicate with others without yelling and loss of hearing..
Great show, a lot better then the spin-offs!
Man, Andrea Parker was *fine* (still is, I guess).
hell yes!
Rewatching the Pretender just for her.
From what I have heard the show was close to being canceled after season 1 it was Catherine Bell coming on board in season two that the ratings took off and became 1 off the top shows!
Jag is a great show thanks so much for it 😊
I'm going into the Navy Ina few years. I love JAG been watching it a LONG time. Anyone notice the Lieutant hit her head when getting off.
It would be great if the theme of JAG was heard in one of the JAG spinoffs,NCIS,NCIS: Los Angeles or NCIS:New Orleans with David James Elliot making a special guest appearance as Harmon Rabb,Jr.,and telling if he is still in the US Navy or not. Maybe it would be good if it were heard in Hawaii Five-0 with him making a special guest appearance as well,to see if he's still in the Navy and maybe reached the rank of Admiral,which Harmon,Sr. would've been if he didn't become MIA and later on officially deceased after Harmon,Jr. was too late to save him and bring him home.
Supposedly, both Rabb and Mac will be making multiple guest appearances at the end of the current season of NCIS:LA. Would be fun if they had the theme playing in the background at some point.
@@TheRealThunder They did. When Harm stepped onto the carrier, they played the theme song. Rest of the episode arc was garbage, don't waste your time watching. And Harm and Mac are not together anymore. Have been estranged for 9 years. They either divorced or never got married. They never clarified it on the NCIS LA episode.
Andrea Parker always was gorgeous.
Yep. Sure was. Too bad they couldn't include her in more episodes.
@@georgewilkinson1068 Well, we got to see her in The Pretender, so it wasn't so bad.
I have the Commander Box DVD with all 10 Seasons !!
Dress whites and no hearing protection? Welcome to the TV navy.
That engine FODing cover that blew off her head!
Hahah great point!
Okay, this is wayyyyy better than the code.
This is my favorite show JAG and theme song
It was Best tv show ever
Nice clip. My first ship was the USS Enterprise in 1977.
i remember the couple of time i step up on the deck of the old navy ship down in corpus christi so amazing feeling the ocean breeze from all the way up on the deck
If Kate Pike had been shown a picture of Harm and his father taken when he was a boy and put in a Navy jet for the 1st time, she would be surprised to see that Harm is a lookalike image of Harmon, Sr.
No lie. This show is why I joined the Navy
Thank you for joining the United States Navy. Anchors aweigh.
It would be good if there were an episode of Hawaii Five-0 in which would reveal if Harmon Rabb,Jr won the coin toss or not to retain his commission before marrying Sarah MacKenzie,a marine lawyer who also put her career on the line via a coin toss after she said yes to Harm‘s marriage proposal. If Harm won,it would be interesting to see Harm getting saluted by Steve McGarrett,a US Naval Reserve Officer in charge of the state police of Hawaii.
NCIS: LA Did the follow-up. Rabb is a Captain on a Carrier and Mac is a Marine officer still on special assignments. They never married or saw each other for almost a decade till they met on Rabb's carrier on NCISLA.
@@lesterralphwiley We all just pretend those episodes never happened
@@lesterralphwiley JAG officers can't serve as XO or CO at sea!
I'm so glad i got the JAG dvd boxsets, i love this show.
Really interesting to hear the extended, more orchestrated theme song. It’s a shame they didn’t use more of that throughout the series.
Have seen every episode, several times.😎
This show was great to watch whenever i had trouble sleeping
I can't help but love that theme song, makes me patriotic for a country that isn't even mine.
That is intended.
Awesome 👏
Harm‘s father would‘ve been so proud of him for becoming an aviator and then a lawyer in the US Navy if he hadn‘t become M.I.A. in Vietnan when Harmon Rabb,Jr was a child.
azure rainbow his career was described as Top Gun meets A Few Good Men
Tom Boone commented in "A Separate Peace Part 1" that he believed Hammer could have been CNO if he didn't get shot down, considering Tom was already a CSG commander (O8) and nominated to command a numbered fleet (which also granted a promotion to O9)..
0:24 the memories from the time Hammer was there before his deployment to Vietnam.
If Kaitlyn Pike's parents got to meet Harmon Rabb, Jr., they would've hoped for them to get married because of him being such an officer and a gentleman, just like his father was. Harmon Sr. probably would've liked Kaitlyn Pike if he did make it home from Vietnam when his son was a kid.
love this show
God I loved that show!
Don't they need ear protection? Their eardrums are probably shattered right now.
Artistic license nonsense. It will drive you nuts if you are anything close to a subject matter expert on an issue.
What?! 🙉
Dit someone recognize that the carier scenes are recycled from topgun?
A lot of the first few actions scenes with the planes are from Top Gun.
@@pershop4950 1:29, 1:35, 1:44, 1:50 to 1:56, and 2:03
Yep, those
Apparently, "Top Gun" flight footage was provided to the film at nominal cost. (The flight time and fuel were billed to USN as training costs, as they counted towards required flight time.) The Navy et al received the best recruiting film in decades (free positive media exposure). However there was an congressional investigation, of course, that the Navy should have charged the full costs of flight operations. Hence films with similar budgets ("Iron Eagle" used 3rd world planes). TV show doesn't have even that budget. Now movie budgets are so huge (and F18 cheaper to fly than F14?) that Top Gun 2 was finally filmed.
Lot of top gun scenes in it
Excellent series.
Even with the reused footage, this is a great intro
It would've been interesting to see Kate Pike's parents visit her in the U.S. Navy and she introduces them to Harmon Rabb, Jr., whether they would've asked him if he's dating Kate or not.
JAG Still Number 1 Show
The flashback sequence in the 2-hour pilot episode of JAG must take place in 1969, the year when Harm's father got captured and was missing in action in Vietnam for many years.
NOT THE PILOT. Actually this appears to be the season 1 episode 1 "A New Life (part 1)" which has Andrea Parker as Lt Caitlin Pike (brunette), Raab's partner. The rest of 1995 episodes had blond Tracey Needham. The Pilot had a Navy helicopter land in a park where the president (Clinton?) was jogging with his secret service detachment. President thinks the helicopter was for him but it was for Lt Raab. Raab's partner in the pilot was a blond.
Stephen Jacks this is the pilot
first episodes are often called pilots.
Pilot episodes are trial balloons to entice a network to buy a season of episodes, BEFORE a shows season begins. Therefore: pilot, s1ep1, s1ep2, s1ep3, etc. Shows pre-ordered by network or underwritten by network don't have pilot episodes.
The flashback of Harm as a kid being in his father's plane on an aircraft carrier probably takes place almost 6 months before Harmon Rabb, Sr. gets shot down and missing in action in Vietnam.
Eu adoro o Tema na Versão Orquestral, sempre volto para ouvir de novo.
Harm's dad would've been an Admiral if he didn't become MIA in Vietnam and made it back home to his family.
Harmon Rabb, Jr's father would've been very proud of him for becoming not only a naval aviator but also a lawyer, if he did come back from Vietnam when Harm was a kid. Harmon, Sr probably would've been an Admiral by the time his son grew up.
Tom Boone commented in "A Separate Peace Part 1" that he believed Hammer could have been *CNO* if he didn't get shot down, considering Tom was already a CSG commander (O8) and nominated to command a numbered fleet (which also granted a promotion to O9)..
Too bad that when the pilot episode of JAG had shown a flashback when Harm was a little boy and that his father,who had a mustache when he put him in the plane,didn't shown on the screen the year that event happened.
Not sure what happened to this actor...he just disappeared after JAG. He seems just as handsome as any other Hollywood heart-throb actor to have gotten more roles somehow.
I recall David James Elliott appeared in a few episodes of "Desperate Housewives", and a few years ago he was in a couple episodes of "Mom" as a potential romantic interest for Bonnie.
DJE has been working steadily since JAG. He’s got quite a few post production movies and a series going to be on Starz called Heels this summer.
Love this show while i was in P.N.G
It would've been good to see Harm in an episode of Hawaii Five-0 in which he comes to Five-0 HQ for their help, and they all put their uniforms on after they heard of him coming to see them and to hear Danny Williams' comment about how he feels about lawyers in the United States Military, though Harm sometimes defends & sometimes prosecutes. That would've made JAG's ratings skyroclet.
If there had been a 2nd Hawaii Five-0-Magnum, P.I. crossover in which Steve McGarrett & Thomas Magnum are both summoned by Harmon Rabb Jr. on an important case, the ratings for those 2 shows would go so high.
Man the women on this show were gorgeous.
My dad has the whole collection sadly some of the disks were damaged so we had to skip em, I still have to order em online.
Love this serie
Harm's mother would've like Kaitlyn Pike if she met her working with her son and would've asked if she & Harm are more than friends.
I must admit I have only seen one or two episodes but to see the F14 wow what a great aircraft 😊
If Harm's mother had got to meet Caitlin Pike in this episode, she would've asked her if she's dating Harm and is going to marry him.
I don't know I have a lot of chills
It would've been good if David James Elliott made a special guest appearance on NCIS,NCIS:Los Angeles,NCIS:New Orleans or even Hawaii Five-0 with the theme of JAG being heard. Also,it would be good to see Steve McGarrett giving a salute to Harm if he achieved the rank of Admiral and if Steve has heard of him and also that he has done for the United States Navy after following in his father's footsteps,though Harm,Sr. never came home to his family after becoming M.I.A,then later on officially deceased after Harm finally found his father,only to do it far too late.
this comment aged well
My great grand uncle also served on a carrier in the Pacific during WWII. But on the losing side.
Gotta admire Donald Bellisario's creative work.
Totally cool theme!!!
Awesome
The Top Gun footage used is easily recognisable.
It would‘ve been good to see the character of Kate Pike in 1 of the 3 spin-offs of JAG or maybe on the reboots of Hawaii Five-0 or Magnum,P.I. to reveal what happened to her because the last time Harmon Rabb,Jr saw her was in 2001 after she achieved the rank of a full commander.
Lt Pike was a fit bird!
Best intro ever🥰
If there were an episode of the reboot of Magnum, P.I. in which Thomas Magnum meets Harmon Rabb, Jr. while on a case as a private investigator, would Magnum salute Harm? Magnum transferred to the US Navy Reserve after returning from Afghanistan.
It would've been good to see Harmon Rabb, Jr. to reach the rank of Admiral in the United States Navy.
Every female sailor’s worst nightmare. Someone stepping on that HIDEOUS cover. Yuck. That cover was a pain in the butt to hold, keep track of and clean.
that last scene, where Bud is saluting Harm with no covers on rankles this old sailor a bit, but it was a great show. Once it got on CBS :p
Stupid cbs destroyed it 😡
Quel bon acteur très classe et bel homme!!👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
0:58 chopper face. hehe.
This *isn't the 'intro' to the series.* While *you* may consider *DJE's* initial appearance, the 'intro'. The episode was at least (15:00), into its run.
that was the Top Gun seen when showing every 1 working any 1 notice that and plane landing and taking off
1:29, 1:35, 1:44, 1:50 to 1:56, and 2:03
Yep....they are.
