Season 1: 1995–1996

The second episode establishes the structure of the episodes for most of the rest of the run of the series: a short teaser (usually less than a minute, rarely more than two) usually not involving any of the regular characters, the opening credits with the theme song, commercial break, followed by four acts separated by commercial breaks, and the end credits with the theme song.

Season 2: 1997

This is the first season broadcast on CBS. The cliffhanger from the previous season is simply ignored, though the first episode of this season has flashbacks to the previous season's finale that establish that Lt. Schonke (a guest character last season) and Major MacKenzie (a regular character from this point forward) look the same (both are played by the same actress, Catherine Bell).

All episodes of this season have between the teaser and the opening credits a prologue with voiceover explaining Harmon Rabb's backstory, that he used to be a pilot but because of his night vision problems he transferred to JAG.
