As Mark Harmon steps back on NCIS and Gary Cole steps in...will Cole assume the NCIS throne or is this all shameless TV marketing? After 19 seasons can anyone really just replace Harmon? Can Cole fill those polished shoes? I guess we shall see. But in the meantime, we have our own Cole v. Harmon marathon below so you decide who's got the chops or should be chopped! We start with the Harmon and Prince of Bel-Air .
