On September 26, 2003, JAG returned for a ninth season on the CBS Friday night lineup. Although the FRiday night move could have been a death nell, JAG continued to enjoy solid ratings during this year and returned for a tenth and final season in 2004.

The first episode of Season 9 begins right where the cliffhanger in Season 8 left off. Harm, having resigned his commission, is in Paraguay with Gunney, Mac, and Webb; trying to complete their almost fatal mission. When they return to JAG Headquarters, Harm finds out he is completely out of a job; as the admiral has filed his resignation and he is no longer needed. During the next few episodes, Harm finds himself crop dusting and then working with the CIA until he is fired because his picture is shown on ZNN. Admiral A.J. Chegwidden finally re-instates Harm, but only as a last resort.

If those storylines won't confuse you enough, just wait until you watch Mac deal with her feelings on having to kill.....someone very important (I won't give it away in case you never got to see the show), A.J.'s romance blossom and then his sudden departure from JAG in the season's final episode.

Here is a list of all 23 action packed episodes:

1. A Tangled Webb - Part II (4)
2. Shifting Sands
3. Secret Agent Man
4. The One Who Got Away
5. Touchdown
6. Back in the Saddle
7. Close Quarters
8. Posse Comitatus
9. The Boast
10. Pulse Rate
11. A Merry Little Christmas
12. A Girl's Best Friend
13. Good Intentions
14. People v. SecNav
15. Crash
16. Persian Gulf
17. Take It Like a Man
18. What If ...
19. Hard Time
20. Fighting Words
21. Coming Home
22. Trojan Horse
23. Hail and Farewell (1)

Although still a top-notch show, the only thing I missed from these episodes is that there was relatively little time in the courtroom. I mean, the show is about JAG lawyers.

Actually, what kept me watching on Season 9 was the romance between Mac and Webb - which was very nuanced and much more mature than the 'relationship' Mac had with Harm (up to and including the last episode of Season 10). Steven Culp and Catherine Bell had chemistry while David James Elliott seemed to phone in his role throughout the season.

Season 8 ended before Elliott signed a contract to continue in his role - thus the Season 8 cliffhanger where one did not know whether Harm would live or die. Preps were made for JAG to continue onto Season 9 without Elliott and presumably with Culp in an expanded role. That would have been much preferable and enjoyable. Unfortunately, Elliott did sign his contract.

Nevertheless, these are strongly written episodes - if you've seen previous seasons, you will want Season 9 for your collection as well!

LOVE this series. Always anxious when a new season comes out on DVD. Only one left!!! Have to admit the romance between Mac and Webb is ridiculous and the non romance with Harm and Mac is exhausting. Many changes this season, AJ's retirement , Harm's brief stint with the CIA, Mattie, Tyner leaving, Harriet resigning, however the show's high quality and great courtroom drama continue. Bittersweetly looking forward to the Final season 10 with the knowledge that love does conquer all finally.

I stumbled up on the JAG showing one night and got totally hooked. Being a female I have always had a thing about jets, ships, but not so much about war. This show have it all, it makes you think, smile, feel anger, sorrow and joy; it takes you to another place for awhile. I guess it is better than later to catch a good program, maybe I can catch up seeing all of their seasons. There are not many shows out there like this one and I truly enjoy JAG.

These 2 dvds completed my set of the 'JAG' TV series & were both sent & received in Great condition from Amazon.com.

One of the few TV series that holds my interest and has a cast that melds well. Most of the newer shows may be OK but not worth my money to own.

the product i bought was awesome. finally i have all seasons of jag. but the seller was bad. rude in the return email to me and wouldnt even provide tracking information for my product so it took over a month to get to me.
