JAG - On behalf of the Honor is an American television series directed by Donald P. Bellisario . The series portrays the work of the Judge Advocate General's Corps in the US Navy . The main characters are the military lawyers Harmon "Harm" Rabb Jr. , played by David James Elliott , and Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie , played by Catherine Bell . From 1995 to 2005, 227 episodes were produced in ten seasons.

Due to the success, the spin-off Navy CIS was started during the eighth season by a backdoor pilot episode , which in turn resulted in Navy CIS: LA and Navy CIS: New Orleans .

action

The headquarters of the Judge Advocate General (JAG for short; German roughly: "General of Judges and Lawyers") of the US Navy near Washington DC is the supreme judicial authority for investigating crimes in the US Navy and the US Navy Corps . The chief officer is Rear Admiral Chegwidden in most episodes , and Major General Cresswell takes on this post in the final season . One of the most successful military lawyers on the JAG staff is the former naval aviator Harmon Rabb, to whom Meg Austin and then Sarah MacKenzie are assigned as female partners from the second season to the end of the series.

The task of the JAG lawyers is not only to prepare and conduct military court proceedings, but also to investigate on site. The style for the series is thus the mixture of police work and legal work with different focuses. In court, the JAG lawyers regularly either compete against each other as defense counsel and prosecutor or support each other in their respective tasks. Personal concerns of the characters play an increasingly important role in the course of the series - in particular the intense friendship between Rabb and MacKenzie, which, after mutual ups and downs in the final episode, leads to an engagement, the search for Harms in the Vietnam War as a missing father and the Relationship between the secondary characters Bud Roberts and Harriet Sims repeatedly form essential elements of the storylines. With the increasing age of the characters and the associated increasing official responsibility, Rabb and MacKenzie also take on judicial activities or represent the JAG. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have a significant impact on the series action and subsequently lead to an increasing seriousness of the cases to be negotiated. B. have the Iraq war or the war in Afghanistan on the topic.

main characters

Harm , who as a former US Navy fighter jet pilot of an F-14 Tomcat was retrained as a lawyer because of his night blindness in the Navy, is the central protagonist of the series. In the first seasons, Rabb is often portrayed as a rather youthful daredevil with a high level of intelligence and pronounced integrity, who repeatedly wins his cases either through unusual working methods or deliberately violating the regulations. Physical confrontations - for example when identifying criminals - repeatedly play an important role. Later on, he increasingly develops into a calmer and more level-headed character, who also has to take on greater business responsibility. The fact that Rabb is a former F-14 pilot is crucial in numerous episodes: In this way, flight missions, and occasionally combat missions, are integrated into the plot of the episode. Harm lives in an apartment in Washington DC, which he renovated himself and which regularly serves as a location. In the course of the series he leads numerous, but mostly short or superficial, relationships with various women, whereby the constant mutual attraction between him and Sarah MacKenzie forms a central element of tension. In the last episode, he finally makes her a marriage proposal, which Mac accepts. At the engagement, a coin is tossed to decide who has to quit in favor of the other's career. The result of this throw remains unknown; JAG thus ends openly on this essential question.

Caitlin Pike is Harm's first female partner in the pilot. She is portrayed by Andrea Parker , but only appears in three episodes with a guest role. She was replaced by Tracey Needham, who played the role of Lieutenant jG Meg Austin . Needham left the series in 1996 after only one season and was replaced by Catherine Bell as Sarah MacKenzie from the second season .

Sarah MacKenzie is portrayed as a lawyer with a keen sense of justice who repeatedly comes into conflict with Rabb's pragmatic and direct approach. MacKenzie's adherence to principles occasionally hinders important investigations or previously convicted innocent accused, on the other hand Rabb sometimes lacks empathy for the victims and their relatives. Mac (as MacKenzie is usually called) was strongly influenced by her broken home; joining the Marine Corps was a personal and professional new beginning for her. Mac is a dry alcoholic - this and the memory of her drinking father break her stern facade in some episodes. She also has a failed marriage and an affair with a manager behind her, which are occasionally of importance in the series. Mac has a variety of relationships - such as: B. with the Australian exchange officer Mic Brumby and the CIA agent Clayton Webb - but all of them fail because of a certain fear of commitment and the close relationship with their colleague Harm. Chloe Madison, a young girl who Mac takes care of as part of a social program, finds her father again with her help and is an important caregiver for her. Mac is also leaving the JAG Corps for a short time because she can be lured away by a civil law firm - but she will return soon.

Bud Roberts is the central figure of the series alongside Harm and Mac. Especially in the first seasons as an assistant, a kind of sidekick for Rabb and MacKenzie, the role is increasingly gaining in profile and, after completing a law degree, later works as a lawyer at JAG. In the course of the series it comes not only to the wedding with his partner Harriet Sims , who later also work in the Corps office , but also to the introduction of his violent father "Big Bud" and his younger brother Mikey. A close friendship develops between Bud and Harm and Mac; Admiral Chegwidden also sponsors the first child of the Roberts family. Bud later loses a leg while trying to save a child on one of the field missions in Afghanistan . His recovery and, above all, the psychological stress on him, his marriage and the team are also portrayed on film as the main strand for a relatively long time. Despite his limited usability due to the lost leg, Chegwiddens advocacy enables Bud to return to full service with the Navy and promotion to Lieutenant Commander.

AJ (Albert Jethro) Chegwidden is the reigning JAG for most of the series and therefore the immediate superior of the main characters. Chegwidden is a former SEAL and a highly decorated veteran of the Vietnam War. Accordingly, he often looks very direct and downright grumpy, but he is loyal to his lawyers and supports them. For Rabb, MacKenzie and the Roberts family, he is also increasingly becoming a kind of fatherly friend. Chegwiddens daughter Francesca, who comes from a failed marriage with an Italian, plays a role in some episodes. At the end of the 9th season, he leaves the JAG office and retires.

From the third season, the sociopath Clark Palmer plays a recurring role. This troubles Rabb and carries out several attacks on him, which the latter always escapes lightly. Rabb succeeds in convicting the former agent and imprisoning him in Fort Leavenworth military prison , although Palmer always tries meticulously to cover his tracks. Palmer then does not appear until the end of the sixth season, when, of all people, Harm is supposed to investigate the guilt of his cell neighbor. This requires a visit to the crime scene. Rabb's suspicion turns out to be correct, however, the escort accompanying the convoy into the surrounding area kills an assassin instigated by Palmer . Palmer is then shot while trying to escape.

The lawyers also always comes back a CIA - agent named Clayton Webb for assistance, but also hindered their investigation for political reasons in some consequences. After a dispute with Chegwidden , Rabb temporarily leaves the US Navy and the JAG Corps and is temporarily recruited by Webb for the CIA. Mac has a brief relationship with Webb that breaks down due to its constant worldwide operations and a serious breach of trust.

background

JAG - On behalf of the honor has addressed all major military engagements of the USA in the 20th century over the years . Most of these episodes built bridges to the present within the series (the North Korean hijackers justified the hijacking of an Oceanic Airlines plane with members of the JAG Corps on board with the (fictional) shooting of Koreans by US soldiers at the bridge of Kang So Ri , and Rabb's search for his father repeatedly provided plot for Vietnam episodes), while new universes were created on historical occasions ( battle for Iwo Jima , mutiny on the Bounty ), mostly in double episodes . Lesser known events such as the Port Chicago explosion in 1944 were also brought up by the JAG team. Several more recent events in US military history in the 1990s have been converted into JAG episodes in a fairly realistic manner.

With the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, the series took another turn and also addressed the " war on terror " with the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq . This in turn gave rise to new storylines, such as Lt. Robert's loss of a leg to a landmine in Afghanistan and how he comes to terms with it.

Nevertheless, even at this point in time, the series deals with previous conflicts with US involvement (e.g. Kosovo , Serbia ), and more rarely also on latent trouble spots ( e.g. Liberia , Sudan , Chechnya or Indonesia ). Often convicted or acquitted were given a new trial based on new evidence, so that they came back to the JAG defenders. However, some also experienced a return through these convicts.

Basically, the character of the series developed from often action-heavy acts , which repeatedly served film clichés with regard to the US military, to greater seriousness in terms of content. The negotiated cases became more complex and the characters developed more complex biographies, which had a corresponding impact on the events in the series.

In April 2005, the US broadcaster CBS announced that JAG will be discontinued at the end of the 10th season. The main reason given was excessive costs. On April 29, 2005, the last episode of the series was broadcast in the United States. In total, the series came to 227 episodes. In Germany, the series is broadcast on Sat.1 , Kabel1 , RTL Nitro, sixx and on the pay TV channel FOX .

Intro

In the second and third season, before each episode, you can hear the following intro spoken by the actor Manfred Lehmann and Joachim Kerzel :

“While trying to follow in his father's footsteps as a naval pilot, Lieutenant Commander Harmon Rabb Junior had an accident while approaching an aircraft carrier . When he was found to be night blind, he switched to the JAG, the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the Navy, which protects and defends the law of the sea . Now he is fighting there, together with his colleague Major Sarah MacKenzie , with boldness and determination for the rights of the marines. "

This is followed by the usual opening credits.

Episode list

Backdoor pilot for Navy CIS

The double episode “Eisige Zeiten” (in the original “Ice Queen” and “Meltdown”) of the eighth season (2002/2003) is a so-called backdoor pilot for the television series “ Navy CIS ”. As a result, Cmdr. Rabb of the murder of Lt. Singer suspects. The investigation is led by a team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service ( NCIS ), consisting of Leroy Jethro Gibbs ( Mark Harmon ), Anthony DiNozzo ( Michael Weatherly ), Dr. Donald Mallard ( David McCallum ), Abby Sciuto ( Pauley Perrette ) and Vivienne Blackadder ( Robyn Lively ). Five months after this pilot episode, the regular broadcast of the new series started in the USA on September 23, 2003, but then without the character of Blackadder, who was replaced by Caitlin "Kate" Todd ( Sasha Alexander ).

Production and background

In the first few seasons in particular, numerous flight sequences from the movie Top Gun were reused.

For the attack on the car convoy in episode 7 of the first season ( The Shining Path ) scenes from The Cartel with Harrison Ford were partially taken. The license plate number of the white Chevrolet SUV with which the protagonists flee is identical in both cases (AB 8453).

Whenever news is on television in the background, it runs, just like with Navy CIS , on the fictional channel ZNN, which is based on the US news channel CNN .

The headquarters of the JAG Corps is in the series in Falls Church , Virginia. This is a free invention of the scriptwriters, the real JAG headquarters of the Navy is on the grounds of the Washington Navy Yard - in Falls Church there is no US military service.

The building depicted as the headquarters in the series is the back building of the house referred to as Mac's apartment in the series. It is located in Pasadena , California .

Admiral Chegwidden has held the post of Judge Advocate General for an unrealistically long time - in fact, the incumbent changes every two to three years.

With very few exceptions, all names of the US Navy warships mentioned or shown in the series are fictitious.

American uniforms are shown very accurately and realistically in the series, while those of foreign armed forces (e.g. Russia (2x14), Sudan (4x2) or Germany (3x12)) are very often imprecise or even completely fictitious, especially in the first seasons be replicated.

Ships, vehicles and planes of foreign armed forces are not always displayed correctly (for example, the supposedly Russian destroyer in Cossacks and Cowboys (2x14) is a British Sheffield-class unit ; enemy aircraft are often of the actually US-American type F-5 ). Even technical statements about the function or performance of certain systems repeatedly do not correspond to reality - mostly in favor of the US armed forces - (use of anti-ship missiles against land targets (3x18); alleged replica of Russian fighter jets based on US models (3x24)).

In the episode Under Charges (9x14), an outside view of the International Court of Justice is falsely shown, although the hearing takes place before the International Criminal Court.

The last episode (22) of the first season (org. Title: Skeleton Crew ) was not originally broadcast on US television. The episode ends as a sequel story, in the final scene Lt. Commander Rabb arrested for murder. Catherine Bell played the murder victim. In the third season (episode 19 Diana's ghost ) the crime is exposed. Cmdr. Hobarth, then the Seahawk's XO , murdered Diana Schonke to save his career as she wanted to file a complaint against him. Hobarth dies when he sees Mac in the uniform of Harriet Sims, who thinks she is Schonke, falls and is crushed between the ship and the harbor wall.

In double sequence # 1 Death in sight ; # 02 Against all the rules of the fifth season, Harms flight helmet wears the ironically meant code label Pappy due to his age, which can also be traced back to the authentic figure of Pappy Gregory Boyington , an aviator ace of the Second World War , about whom everything in Bellisario's hit series Pacific Squadron is about 214 spun.

Cast and cast

Leading actor David James Elliott is with the actress of Lt. Loren Singer , Nanci Chambers , married. She also played the role of the neighbor of David James Elliott and assassin Meghan O'Hara in the second season, episode 9 "The Princess on the Bomb".

Supporting actor Dean Stockwell played the ironic sidekick Admiral Al Calavecci of lead actor Scott Bakula , who played the part of time traveler Sam Beckett , in Bellisario's hit series of the 1990s, Back to the Past (Quantum Leap) .

Leading actress Catherine Bell's husband Adam Beason played minor supporting roles in three episodes of the series.

Mikey Roberts' cast member, Michael Bellisario, is the son of producer Donald P. Bellisario. He also served as a supporting actor in the third season of the spin-off Navy CIS .

Producer Donald P. Bellisario came in the wake Greetings to Moscow (3x24) itself up in a guest role. His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was built into the plot of the episode The Missing Kilo (9x22) as a gag .

In the episode The Legacy (6x18), the then “real” Judge Advocate General of the US Navy, Rear Admiral Donald Guter, made a guest appearance as Special Assistant for Legal Affairs.

John M. Jackson also plays a member of the JAG Corps in the movie A Matter of Honor .
