The military legal drama *JAG* is enjoying renewed attention after appearing in the Apple TV Store’s US Top 10, reportedly reaching as high as second place. Its resurgence matters because the series was a major television success in its own right and provided the foundation for the long-running *NCIS* franchise.

*JAG* premiered on NBC in 1995 but was cancelled after one season before CBS revived it in 1997. Created by Donald P. Bellisario, it ran until 2005, producing 227 episodes across 10 seasons, and is now available through several streaming services.
