Eli Stone: Season One
Did anyone else watch this tonight? Very much along the same lines as Greg Berlanti's feel-good drama "Everwood" on the defunct WB, right down to the opening mountain shot.
I don't think I'm going to like this as much as "Everwood" just because I find a lawyer/courtroom drama show inherently less interesting than a new doctor in a whole new town to be a part of.
That said, it's one of the best written pilots I've seen in years, and I'm definitely on board for next week at the very least. I really like the idea of a modern day prophet, I just hope that concept expands beyond suing "evil" corporations.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
It didn't really grab me, but it doesn't have any real competition if E.R. is pretty much done with their episodes on Thursdays in this timeslot.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
My wife enjoyed it. Myself, I thought the best part of the hour was the Oceanic Airlines commercial. This didn't do much for me. It is another one of those programs that once you get past the initial setup in the pilot, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of story left to explore...

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I enjoyed it. I thought it was very whimsical, which is a good thing. But it felt like NBC's Jouneyman, but played on a much lighter note. Perhaps the San Francisco setting, perhaps the visions he has, and the weekly events where he helps people, the girlfriend who thinks he's nuts because of his visions and the doctor who sort of guides him.
Nice to see Ken Olin so busy, by the way.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I enjoyed the show. I even liked the line where the woman with the autistic child said something like - "Yeah, he's yours, I was pregnant for eight years."

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
Probably in a normal television season, I wouldn't give this much of a second thought. But, I'll probably watch it, just because it's new and not annoying (Bionic Woman).

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I had hopes, but was very under-whelmed. Stuck through it for the Oceanic commercial...that was a mistake. There is always the internet (youtube), and without the wait.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I like this show, but probably would not watch this over Without a Trace.

Re: Eli Stone: Season One
I like it. The Victor Garber dance number was unexpected and requires a whole new mindset. All in all a fun romp.
