Philippines’ first ever TV roadblock ushers NCIS season 7
Fox International Channels (FIC) ushers in the 7th season of NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) with the first ever roadblock in Philippine television history.
NCIS pilot episode Truth or Consequences will air simultaneously on Fox Channel (Sky Cable Channel 50) Star Movies, Star World, Foxcrime, FX, and Channel V on August 16, 2010 at 9:50 p.m.
The TV roadblock in all FIC entertainment channels will allow millions of NCIS Filipino fans to see the suspense-filled and action-packed episode that drew a record 20.6 million viewers when it premiered in the United States.
No. 1 rated scripted series in the US
NCIS’ brilliant combination of wit and action, intriguing storylines involving the US Navy and Marine Corps, character-driven plots, and fantastic ensemble acting has enabled the police procedural drama TV series to consistently stay in the 4th spot in the US charts during its season 7 run.
TV’s no. 1 drama series became a top 10 program in the US starting in the fifth season, averaging 15.65 million viewers. The next two seasons saw the TV series jump to 5th, averaging 17.89 million, and 4th, 19.33 million viewers.
NCIS tells the story of a Major Case Response Team (MCRT) at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. The MCRT investigates all crimes involving the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
NCIS is led by supervisory special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon, The West Wing), senior field agent Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly, Dark Angel), special agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray, Boston Public), and probationary special agent Ziva David (Cote de Pablo, The Jury).
Helping the team are chief medical examiner Dr. Ducky Mallard (David McCallum, Sex and the City), forensics specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette, CSI), and NCIS director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll, Boston Legal).
NCIS season 7 airs first in Asia exclusively on FOX Channel every Monday at 10 p.m.

Check out the the movie trailer below:
The world is divided into four kingdoms, each represented by the element they harness, and peace has lasted throughout the realms of Water, Air, Earth, and Fire under the supervision of the Avatar, a link to the spirit world and the only being capable of mastering the use of all four elements.
When young Avatar Aang disappears, the Fire Nation launches an attack to eradicate all members of the Air Nomads to prevent interference in their future plans for world domination. 100 years pass and current Fire Lord Ozai continues to conquer and imprison anyone with elemental “bending” abilities in the Earth and Water Kingdoms, while siblings Katara and Sokka from a Southern Water Tribe find a mysterious boy trapped beneath the ice outside their village.
Upon rescuing him, he reveals himself to be Aang, Avatar and last of the Air Nomads. Swearing to protect the Avatar, Katara and Sokka journey with him to the Northern Water Kingdom in his quest to master “Waterbending” and eventually fulfill his destiny of once again restoring peace to the world. But as they inch nearer to their goal, the group must evade Prince Zuko, the exiled son of Lord Ozai, Commander Zhao, the Fire Nation’s military leader, and the tyrannical onslaught of the evil Fire Lord himself.
