Career

Glasberg started out writing for animated shows such as Rugrats, Duckman, and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. Glasberg's credits include Crossing Jordan, The $treet, The Evidence, Bones, Shark, and The Mentalist. Currently, he is the writer for NCIS.

Since obtaining the title of Showrunner for NCIS, Glasberg has stated that he is a big fan of the M*A*S*H series, and his inspirations from M*A*S*H are occasionally visible within NCIS episodes. For example, the Season 8 episode A Man Walks Into A Bar is inspired by the M*A*S*H episode Dear Sigmund, and the character Dr. Cyril Taft (Jon Cryer) is inspired by Alan Alda's Hawkeye Pierce. Glasberg has also adapted a M*A*S*H tradition in which episodes are formatted as letters from a main character to a loved one. The Season 12 episode House Rules was very reminiscent of the M*A*S*H* episode Dear Dad, and the Season 13 episode Deja Vu was reminiscent of Dear Sigmund.
