Someone sent us a note that Don Shipley was mentioned on last night’s NCIS; LA (Episode “Seal Hunter”). Luckily, I DVR that show for weekend viewing. I’m not sure how flattered I’d be if I were Don, though. The guy who was supposed to be a caricature of Don, was a goof. One of the agents said he looked like he had a cat on his head.
At about 21:19 in this video Agent Hannah (LL Cool J) tells Douche Nozzle that he knows Don Shipley but Hannah has never heard of Douche Nozzle. By the way, Douche Nozzle, it turns out, is wearing a toupee. I’m sure Don’s coif is real, but Douche Nozzle’s hair is a running joke through whole show.
The end is pretty good when they finally catch the phony SEAL/murderer, though. I won’t ruin it for you.

“Does that toupee work as a floatation device for you?”
“It’s not a toupee, why does everyone say that? I just have thick hair… ?” t=23:46
That show is worse than Ebola. I’ve notified the Hague of your war crimes, John.
Pretty much the entire NCIS franchise has jumped the shark.
It has not merely “jumped the shark”, but rather strapped on a jetpack, climbed on a bicycle, ignited, shot of the ramp, and flown off into the wild blue yonder, never to be seen or heard from again.
Thankfully there’s still Bones, the Mentalist, and any number of Breaking Bad reruns.
Mentalist is canceled. Better kick over to Blacklist, it is unabashed feel-good fantasy.
That was my first time suffering that TV show but you got me with the Shipley Hair tease. Lordy, that show surely do suck. Of course, I only saw about 30 seconds of it. The other 10 minutes WERE FREAKING COMMERCIALS I COULD NOT SKIP OVER! Ah, that’s better. Jonn. Please post a list of your favorire TV shows so I can place them on my SHOOT SELF BEFORE WATCHING list. Thanks.
What do I know? I watch novelas on Telemundo.
Sweet
My wife watches that how. I bang my head slowly against the wall while she watches it.
Yeah, I love recording shows on Dish. I feel like I cheated death when I am able to fast forward through the commercials. There was one commercial I actually recorded, believe it or not.

Guess I’m weird. I like the NCIS series even if they are far fetched at times. I’m not a huge fan yet of the New Orleans version. Different strokes. But I watch nothing live…DVR everything.
Oh, I do like Angie in Rizzoli…well, in anything…well, in nothing! G
I do believe the Chief should sue for defamation of character. I mean, really, the injustice shown to The Hair tm. Should not be tolerated!
Bah. The Hair is not one to be bothered by some Hollywood Script Monkey.
Not sure I want to take the time to watch a parody.
Last time I watched Don and his wife on YouTube, they had me laughing so hard I had to step outside my office to catch my breath and dry my tears.
Hard to beat the Real Deal.
Which of course is what Don is all about.
If they thought enough of Don Shipley to portray him in a show, they should have used the original.
In this case, imitation is not flattery.
Nice take down at 36:54 of the video!! Caution. You may have to suffer through 4, maybe 5 commercials before you get to the show. LOL!!
I have to admit, “NCIS” and its spinoffs are the last modern primetime shows I watch (okay, Hawaii Five-O sometimes as well). Started with “JAG” in the mid-90’s and continued the habit through today. Former guilty pleasures were “Monk”, “Psych” (until the last couple of seasons), and “Burn Notice”–all of which are off the air. Older is better, though, and “Rockford Files” and “Adam-12” are recorded on the DVR daily.
When I watched the episode in question, it struck me that they were spoofing Don Shipley. I’m glad that they at least mentioned him by name; I thought that they were going to portray all anti-SV types as weirdoes.
