AboutNancy Pratt Expertise My main area of expertise is the character of Admiral A. J. Chegwidden portrayed by actor John M. Jackson. I created and maintain "The Admiral Fact Book," which covers all information known about the Admiral so far from the show. However, I have watched JAG since the first episode and been involved in on-line JAG Fandom for several years and believe I can answer most general questions about the show.
Experience I run the John M. Jackson Admiration Society, the unofficial fan club of actor John M. Jackson, and maintain its website. I also was involved in putting on the first ever JAG Convention and then went on to found the JAGFanFest - both west and east coast events. I have met almost all the actors as well as many of the writers, directors, and production staff. I occasionally write JAG fanfic, and I am the editor of The Jackson Journal, the on-line newsletter of the JMJAS.

Question I looked forward to Season 2 when end of Season 1 ended with Harm being taken into custody what happened to him? I thought Season 2 would start off on that note!( Skeleton Crew)
Answer Susan,
The episode you refer to was supposed to be a cliff-hanger ending for Season 1. However, when NBC decided they were not going to renew the series, they never aired that cliff-hanger in the United States. It was shown overseas, however, but all of the U.S. fans didn't see it. So it's as if it never happened. When CBS picked up the rights to the show, they were allowed to use footage from that episode, which was then incorporated into the episode, "Death Watch."
When USA got the rights to air JAG in syndication, they were able to show "Skeleton Crew," which is how people came to know about it. But for purposes of Season 2, that episode never happened.
