In the continuing quest for another TV series to start watching, this weekend we auditioned NUMB3RS. Almost. I like most of the actors in the show, separately, but for some reason not together. Did they cast the the super smart mathematician first and then start thinking about who should play his father? One of the producers said I have the perfect person, remember the movie Independence Day? Didn’t Jeff Goldblum play a math genius? Get that guy who played his dad. Did he have a father in those dinosaur movies?
I found the cases, so far, interesting, but, and I know they only have 41 minutes to do it in, the investigative procedures seem to take giant leaps only in the right direction.
And for a show that deals with math and logic why, oh why, would they number the four shows on disc one of season one: 101, 103, 104 & 105?

First season is ok, and things definitely pick up in second season. If you make it that far down the road, season 3 and 4 are great.
I like the show and (suprisingly) so does my wife. Lately, though I feel the quality of the shows has gone down…
We are going to give it another try, I just put Season 2 Disc 1 in the rental queue.
Randy, I think that is true for most shows. Somewhere in their run it will lose its appeal either due to failing quality story lines or viewer familiarity breeding contempt.
I thought about this last night. I think one of their shows was episode 3.14159…..
From Season 3 I hope…
