    When did we get fooled into believeing that katie homes was a star the would bring in ratings. She was a silly teen star that just happen to marry so aging movie star in a mid life crisis… She is and really never be a movie star and should get used to more lack lust special tv appearances.

    here’s the link to the episodes online:
    http://fep.abc.go.com/fep/player?src=abccomjs&show=93514
    if this doesn’t work, the webpage is abc.go.com; there’s a tab for full episodes, select Eli Stone. Good thing here is minimal commercial breaks (30 seconds) and total time 43-45 minutes. Amazing how much time commercials take up when watching live.

    Eli Stone is a must watch for me. But it is playing against two very popular old shows. Too bad because Eli Stone is certainly more original that either of them. I like Without a Trace and Law and Order:SVU but it’s Eli Stone that offers the surprises each week.

    Thanks Sharon and Joyce because I never heard about the show nor Im aware about Katie Holmes tv return.
    She looks amazing and her performance was amazing as well. Any word if she is returning to the series?

    3% down is quite impressive when shows usually suffer a gigantic blow after the premiere. Katie is a star and a huge draw that proof is her non musical play right now no.1 in New York also she gives great sales for fashion merchandise to women that wonna emulate what she wears. They put Katie way too late when Eli Stone is already on Hospice Care and no matter a Katie Holmes,Clooney,Cate Blanchett or Meryl Streep cant save shows like this.

    Katie was fresh and lively but the show was boring especially the usual antiwar wreck from Hollywood.

    While I am not a fan of Katie Holmes, I did appreciate her guest star role as part of a main storyline rather than just a cameo. I give her singing and dancing a surprising cheer, but it didn’t make me into a new fan. I love the new episodes of “Eli Stone,” but I hope theres some humor ahead for Eli, especially dealing with his aneurysm’s return and now his potential love interest leaving the country.

    I have had it with this spin that the left leaning writers/produces are forcing on the public. Frankly it is pretty lazy writing to do it anyway because it’s completely predictable when employed. As soon as I understood that the story arc was about someone wanting to bury a soldier without the honors he deservers, I knew how it would end.
    I mean really, did anyone think it would end otherwise.
    So I maintain that it’s just plain lazy writing to force this crap on the public like some kind of indoctrination to the proper way of (left) thinking. And please don’t reply that there are a lot of soldiers that feel the same negative way about the country or its leaders. I know that is not true via first hand knowledge. There may be a few but it’s an extremely small group compared the true heroes that serve our country everyday.
    There are a lot of good shows out there that do not have this kind of lethargic intellectual pursuits and I for one am done with this one. I have cleared “Eli Ston

    (Part 2)
    . I have cleared “Eli Stone” from my TiVo and it will not record it again.
    I think that there must be a lot of people that feel the same way because the show lost about 2 million viewers after the opening.
    Remember the predictable left leaning story line in this episode I was talking about.
    It’s obvious that once the public realized what was being forced on them (again) they tuned out. (Note to ABC, want to save this show, replace you writers with ones that have some original ideas)
    I made the mistake and watch the full show to see if the nose dive could be averted.
    I was wrong.
    I will not make that mistake again.
