Reasons to check out the new show "Eli Stone"

  1. There's sure as hell nothing else on TV these days.
  2. The name holds a special place in my heart.
  3. The lead actor is Angelina Jolie's first husband.
  4. He's a Brit playing an American which is working out pretty darn well for Hugh Laurie.
  5. There's a whole deeper science-versus-faith subplot if you're into that sort of thing.
  6. Who doesn't love Loretta Devine?
  7. LIVE. GEORGE MICHAEL. PERFORMANCES.

And last night's co-star may be the only celebrity I actually know. Laura Benanti. I have been on stage with her (albeit she was 14 at the time). I was her very first stage-mom. Then she went to Broadway and forgot I existed.

Was it a good show? The commercials don't have me all that jazzed. I actually forgot it was on or I may have checked it out.

i watched Eli, and loved it. It reminded me of the show Ally McBeal with all the music. I just wished it was on earlier.

I wanted to love it, but it was just missing something for me. Maybe it's just that I found the whole autism/vaccination thing incredibly off-putting.

I understand a lot of people did, Badger.
