Gibbs will probably be remembered as the "titular" character of the series. I think though that the one that everyone will remember will be Abbey. I've only watched the show a few times and she's the only one that makes me want to keep watching. She seems so out-of-place in the environment and is the only one that isn't an obvious stereotype. I actually think she's one of the only original characters on the programmes (gruff "daddy" figure? Check. Femme fatale? Check. Goofy sidekick? Check.)

So, for non-viewers I think I can say that she'll be remembered. As for viewers? I checked a few fansites, as sourced below. I think that Gibbs is going to be the favourite of fans of the show. In terms of remembrance for the role.. I think that it will be Abby's character though. She is very very distinctive and will find the role hard to escape I think.

"Abby ncis" returns 2680 results on youtube.com. "Gibbs ncis" returns 3510 results. Therefore I think I will have to put preferences aside and say Gibbs. :(

Hope I helped!

This is a little rough.. Cast member in general would be Mark Harmon. As Gibbs, he is the father figure to everybody, really. And he plays the role very well. He's come a LONG way since "Summer School"

For me, however.. It's Pauley P as Abby Sciuto. The worlds perkiest goth. The idea of a scatterbrained genius with great taste in cars, random knowledge of everything and a twisted sense of humor just works for me.

And this doesn't hurt either..
