I’m sure you all heard the George Michael song during last week’s episode of “Father Figure.” (The song was “This Is Not Real Love” and was played when Taylor and Eli entered their engagement party.) It appears that some are actually missing the George Michael parts of “Eli Stone.”
‘Eli Stone’ Recap: Saving Private Swaine (Star Pulse link is no longer available):
So much for singing and dancing on “Eli Stone.” Eli’s (Jonny Lee Miller) visions take a grisly turn this week as this time he gets thrust into the middle of a war zone (seems like WW II). Apparently, the not-so-cryptic message he receives is that he is supposed to rescue a Private Swain and take some ridge. That’s all well and good; but no George Michael song? What a gyp.
Eli Stone: Father Figure (The TVFodder link is no longer available):
With much humility, I am forced to seat myself in the ugly seat this week. I was convinced that George Michael’s star power would dominate the show. Not only has his presence and music complemented the main plots nicely, but that same presence was almost non-existent in this episode. All I can say is, I’m sorry and I stand corrected.
Eli Stone is the story of a lawyer who suddenly starts to have hallucinations … of George Michael. It starts out with George Michael singing “Faith” on his coffee table. What’s so fun about the first season of this television show is that George Michael makes multiple appearances. All of the show titles are George Michael or Wham! songs, and many of the musical numbers are also George Michael songs.
Eli Stone stars Jonny Lee Miller, Natasha Henstridge, Loretta Devine, Matt Letscher, Sam Jaeger, and Victor Garber.
The DVD for the first season of Eli Stone (Amazon Ad) is currently available.

I only watch Eli Stone to see George Michael and wish they would give him a part in it ever week. I did miss him this week as I thought he would be in it every week.
Please write him in for a few apperances in each episode, that would be great.
I wish we would see more of him over here in the USA and I think it is awful that his CD’S are not permoted over here like they should be.
I enjoy Eli Stone, but it definitely needs more George Michael. In the episodes where George doesn’t actually appear, his music should have a more prominent role. However, more George in person would be preferable!
