Over the course of the serial, he carries a few storylines, including an undercover assignment that goes through seasons four and five to catch an international arms dealer. DiNozzo provided some comic relief for an otherwise serious drama, regularly spouting pic trivia, peculiarly in the early seasons, and, every bit a womanizer, his dating provided many roguish experiences. The decease of agent Caitlin Todd and DiNozzo'due south relationship with agent Ziva David becomes cardinal to his subtle shift in mental attitude and the character's development.
The character drew mixed reactions from the audience. According to Bellisario, Tony was often criticized by the female audience at the start of the bear witness'south run for his male chauvinism.

I liked him from the start moment I met him.

And I was on my last day down there, and I said, "Yeah, I'one thousand going dwelling tomorrow. You lot know, I'll meet him when he comes dorsum to the states. I'g going out to dinner with my family tonight. I just don't have the time." I received a telephone call from Michael, and Michael knows how to flatter you. He started off by saying, "Oh, I dear Magnum, P.I...." And so he started telling me all the things he knew about Magnum. And I said, "Look, if you want to go to dinner with me and my wife and two of my boys, you're welcome." Well, that ended up to exist a three-hour dinner. Information technology might accept gone longer. I liked him and so much that I cast him in the show later on that meeting.[11]
On some other occasion, Bellisario stated, "I can't say enough nigh Michael Weatherly...He started out on NCIS [playing] a grapheme who was just very unlikable to some women because he was just such a chauvinist, and he has gradually over the [seasons] changed—taken his character and softened it."

He directed two of the outset 3 episodes, and he really pushed me to try things and experiment and some of the wacky comedy came out of that. And information technology was kind of unexpected and I didn't actually know what I was going to find."[13]
At another bespeak, Weatherly said, "It's kind of fun to play a total dinosaur in terms of sexual politics...The shallow end of the philosophical pool is apparently where Tony paddles around." In the same interview, actress Cote de Pablo (who portrays character Ziva David) added, "There's something deeper well-nigh that grapheme. Nosotros always talk nigh the superficial element and the things that brand usa laugh. Merely he wouldn't exist doing what he does if he wasn't really good at it.
