"NCIS" has certainly earned its place in U.S. television history. For its 21st season in 2023, it will stand as the third-longest-running primetime drama of all time. But it appears that many fans like their "NCIS" kept separate. 

After the official Instagram accounts for "NCIS: Los Angeles," " New Orleans," and "Hawai'i" disappeared without a trace, the backlash was fierce in the comment section of the new solo page. "What?? No! I want each show on its own page! I especially don't need ncis Hawaii," @indiana_21 wrote. "I really hate when franchises do this. I only watch NCIS. I don't want or need to see content for the others," agreed @ilpuoscuro. "Even @‌nbconechicago kept the other singular accounts up when they merged as one. Wish you would have done that as well. Boo," wrote @myhipusername.

Others wanted to know if there are plans to repost or archive content from the shows from the franchise that are no more, such as "NCIS: Los Angeles," which was canceled in January 2023 after 14 seasons. "Don't pretend like you care for #ncislosangeles and its fans when you literally deleted the show's account. You could have done your ncisverse thing without doing so, but you chose it, anyway. For the fans, I guess not," wrote @chrisdonnellpt.

While many viewers were angered by the social media merger, there was at least one positive reaction in the bunch: "All my faves in one place!!!!!!" came an enthusiastic comment from the official @CBSTVStudios account.
