A greenish hue, particularly in indoor scenes? A lot of CBS
shows seem to be that way.

Last week they were yellow, this week they were orange like an Oompa
Loompa . NCIS is the only show that I notice these crazy color problems
and they are not subtle. I'll send an email to the local affiliate and see
if they respond.

The characters were orange like Oompa Loompas, sans the green hair. Last
week they had bright yellow lips, the week before that it was some other
weird color variation. NCIS is the only show I see this color problem.

Not sure it was *that* bad, but I did notice that flesh tones were
very...uh..."warm".

There's definitely something not right with yovr setvp.

Inside the NCIS headqvarters set, flesh tones are a bit redder than
expected, bvt not nearly that bad. On location or on other sets, the
color is more realistic. I assvme this mvst be some sort of creative
decision by the powers that be on the show, since it has been that way
since the two-part "JAG" episode that was the pilot.

CSI Miami is worse.

FWIW, I also thought this particular episode had excessive red. I can't
compare to JAG since I rarely watch that program. During this program I
ended up clicking down my color about 5 or 6 clicks to minimize the sunburn
effect. Will see what happens next week.

....and then the outdoor scenes would be not red enough.

If you go back and look again (what, you didn't record it?), you can see
that the colors are *different* for scenes not in the NCIS headquarters
set.

Recorded, watched and dumped before I saw this thread. The red issue was
strong enough for me to take action. As to the other color problems; well;
they did not hit me like the red one did.
