Quotes:

Mac: What are you doing with those books, Bud?
Bud: Oh, these were just some I used in law school.
Mac: I thought you were maybe researching something for Lt. Rabb.
Bud: [clearly nervous] Oh, I'm not. And, if I were, I couldn't tell you, but since I'm not... I can... can't I?

Theme from JAG

Action Packed, and Intense!

JAG is very accurate in terms of the military point of view but also is very exciting and leaves you guessing to the very end. I see very few errors in the military sense, i almost never see any problems with uniforms and the such. Cmdr. Rabb and Lt. Col. MacKenzie make a great team and if they aren't on the same team it leaves things even more exciting! Great show, and well worth an hour each week.
