Most television shows bore me, but I'm really looking forward to this one, Numb3rs, which is scheduled to air on January 23 on CBS at 10 p.m.
FBI Special Agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) recruits his mathematical genius brother (Krumholtz) to help the Bureau solve a wide range of challenging crimes in Los Angeles. From two very different perspectives, the brothers take on the most confounding criminal cases. Inspired by actual events, the series will depict how the confluence of police work and mathematics provide unexpected revelations and answers to the most perplexing criminal questions.
The creators have modeled the university in the show on Caltech, developing characters loosely based on a Caltech professor and students. Portions of the series have been filmed on the school's campus.
Cast (alphabetically): Judd Hirsch - Alan Eppes
David Krumholtz - Charlie Eppes
Sabrina Lloyd - Terry Lake
Peter MacNicol - Larry Fleinhard
Rob Morrow - Don Eppes
Most promising things about the show, other than the remarkable cast: two of the executive producers are Ridley Scott and Tony Scott.
Special Advance Screening: Monday, January 10, 2005 at 8:00 PM
