Is it just me, or does anyone else find it weird that so much sexual harassment happens on the NCIS show. That agent Tony Denozo is always crossing the line with Agent Kate Todd and she never really says anything serious about it.
Further, Agent Gibbs let's it go without ever counseling them about it. In the real NCIS, they investigate cases of sexual harassment such as this so it seem unlikely that this would really happen in real life.
So, my question is: Does this aspect of the show cheapen the honorable members of the real military NAVY NCIS or should I just go back to the couch and lay down and realize it's just a TV SHOW !!!

Technically (sic. legally), it's not sexual harassment until someone complains.
The characters are friends and in a team situation, there is often banter that would be offensive to an outsider. A friends, Tony and Kate would know where the line is that is not to be crossed.
I am a firefighter and there is a lot of banter around the stations that would be considered highly inappropriate if it were said around anyone not familiar with us and our situation. I'm not saying that there is no sexual harassment in these environments, but among friends, there are things that are allowed that would not be otherwise.
Frankly, I think it makes the show a bit more realistic.

When two adults engage in flirtation, or the passing back and forth of sexual innuendoes, it is not considered sexual harrassment. A party has to be "agrieved" in order for there to be harrassment. Now if she said "Don't touch me" or "I don't appreciate what you're saying" and it continued, then it would be harrassment. You said it yourself - "and she never says anything serious about it". Since the character was never stupid, she obviously knew it for what it was, and accepted it.

Go back and lay down its a TV SHOW :)
IMO they just get along really well. As long as noone objects to the flirtations it shouldn't be a problem.
