The following articles aren’t good news for “Eli Stone.”
New shows get lukewarm welcome
And none of the first-year shows on the current sked — “Welcome to the Captain” on CBS, “Carpoolers,” “Cashmere Mafia” and “Eli Stone” on ABC, and Lipstick Jungle” on NBC — are really clicking. While “Eli” and “Lipstick” have done decently, there’s nothing in their early numbers to suggest that they’ll be long-term players.
ABC has tried several new shows in the 10 p.m. Thursday period that have been unable to capitalize on “Grey’s” success. Case in point: Current occupant “Eli Stone” is notably absent from the newly announced spring lineup. Since “Stone” debuted this year, it has averaged a 3.3 rating in the time period. An ABC spokesman said the network hasn’t decided when the remaining “Stone” episodes will air.

That’s unfortunate news. I hope ABC gives the show more of a chance to succeed. Or at least until the episodes where GM appears again. More George=more ratings, ABC!
The ratings are getting worse week by week. The First week was impressive, thanks a lot LOST premier… ABC simply saw this and had an action.
Eli Stone not exactly about George Michael, it’s more like Bruce & Evan Almighty movies. They are similar ways to explain moral values, love or justice by using inspirations.
I think Eli Stone has a good reason and must go on.
Thank you…
