NCIS

Earlier this month, NCIS producer Shane Brennan made one thing clear:

You cannot miss the opening of the September 22 season premiere.

Now, in a new interview with E! News, Pauley Perrette (Abby) echoes that sentiment.

The actress says she is "super pumped" about the episode, adding:

"It's crazy. It's awesome. I will say that there is a lot of Michael Weatherly, who I think is one of the most talented actors on the planet Earth, and he's not bad on the eyes. He is a force. He is so incredible in this episode. It's heavy on Michael. His work in the season opener is not to be missed."
