Puzzle

There is an episode, ‘Blowback’, where Gibbs is attempting to solve a crossword puzzle. It’s known that the character of Gibbs is not up to speed with pop culture so asks DiNozzo for the name of a TV drama that has eight letters. Tony says St. Elsewhere, which is from 1982 and also has more than eight letters. Gibbs laughs at Tony’s answer, but the audience wouldn’t really know why. Turns out that Mark Harmon actually played Dr. Bobby Caldwell on that same show from 1983 to 1986.

Apparently Bert had to be locked up when shooting finished because extras and production interns tried to walk off with him!
