(CBS) It was a "Freaky Friday" reunion on CBS Tuesday night.

Jamie Lee Curtis, the star of that 2003 comedy about a mother-daughter body swap, turned up as a guest star on the hit Mark Harmon drama "NCIS." Harmon co-starred in "Freaky Friday," which also featured Lindsay Lohan in the teen daughter role.

In a rare TV appearance Tuesday, Curtis played Dr. Samantha Ryan, recruited by the "NCIS" to look into what looks like the suicide of a Navy reservist. That's when the sparks begin to fly.

Curtis, who returns to the show next week, told "Entertainment Tonight" that she and Harmon are good friends.

""I'm very fond of him and he's very fond of me. That's just a given," she said.

What the clip below and tell us what you think of her role on "NCIS" and whether there is chemistry between the characters.

I've had to leave the room because of the complete vibe mis-match that just seems so forced, out of character, whatever. JLC? Really??? I agree with other posters, the CID Lt Colonel was The One.; Reply to this comment

I love "NCIS" but Jamie Lee Cutis is not the love interest the that Gibbs needs or that fits the role of Gibbs love interest. The writers need to go back to the drawing broad on this one. Sorry Jamie, your not right for the part.

by sandywhitesell February 22, 2012 10:48 PM EST: Great show last night, Jaime Lee Curtis did a great job but sorry, there is just no way you could ever convince me of a love interest between her character and Gibbs. Through these years of seeing his love interests on the show, Gibbs' style, you could say, she comes across like a ****** sister not a new sexual looking love interest. Sorry, they don't even look good together.; Reply to this comment

Look, I'm a huge fan of NCIS but the writers are really gonna screw up if they end up with Harmon and Curtis hooking up. Curtis' character already looks pathologically manipulative...that little trip to Vance's office to complain about Gibbs showing up at the kid's school only makes her look either bi-polar or like she's outright playing them both. If the writers let Gibbs get sucked into this relationship, it'll be the death of Gibbs aura of invincibility in being one step ahead of everyone else. Once you ***** that armor, you ain't gonna get it back.

The should have worked that CID Lt Colonel into his long term relationship...they were compatible and there was palpable chemistry. Letting that opportunity fizzle was a huge mistake.
