The sixth season of JAG was premiered on CBS on October 3, 2000, and was concluded on May 22, 2001. The season, starring David James Elliott and Catherine Bell, was produced by Belisarius Productions in association with Paramount Television.

Plot

Lieutenant Colonel Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie (Catherine Bell) and Commander Harmon "Harm" Rabb, Jr. (David James Elliott) are lawyers assigned to the headquarters of the Judge Advocate General, an office in the Department of the Navy, tasked with prosecuting and defending criminal cases under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Harm and Mac investigate numerous occurrences including espionage ("Legacy"), stowaways ("Florida Straits"), aircraft malfunctions ("Flight Risk"), breaches of religious law ("The Princess and the Petty Officer"), war crimes from the Vietnam War ("A Separate Peace"), and NATO collisions ("Collision Course"). Further in this season, Bud (Patrick Labyorteaux) blames a Navy doctor for the death of his daughter ("Family Secrets"), Commander Caitlin Pike (Andrea Parker) returns to JAG HQ ("Touch and Go"), Admiral Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) heads a promotion board ("Baby, It's Cold Outside"), and Mic (Trevor Goddard) and Mac become engaged ("Lifeline"). Also, Harm becomes lost at sea ("Adrift"), Harriet is promoted to Lieutenant ("Lifeline"), and Mac prepares to give a historical lecture at the United States Naval Academy ("Mutiny").

Production

The real Judge Advocate General of the Navy at the time, rear admiral Donald J. Guter, visited the set during the production of episode eighteen, titled "Liberty".

Also in this season, JAG filmed scenes at the Marine training facility Camp Pendleton, as "under an agreement with the Marine Corps, the show's producers get access to troops, combat equipment and military training in exchange for the service's approval of the scripts".[1] Donald P. Bellisario credits the military as being particularly supportive,[1] while series star Catherine Bell opined that JAG had become "the little show that could. It keeps going and growing".[2]
