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.

According to ABC Sets Spring Schedule, we won’t be seeing “Eli Stone” on Thursdays at 10 p.m. during the spring.
ABC outlined its spring schedule Wednesday, highlighted by Lost moving back one hour to 10 p.m. Thursdays and pushing rookie Eli Stone out of the time slot.
Lost, currently anchoring Thursdays at 9 p.m., will come back with five more original episodes April 24.
ABC is still considering where on the schedule to plug in the rest of Eli Stone’s 13-episode order when Lost moves.

Father Figure Episode
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
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.
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.
George Michael Is Still a Big Pop Star has a photo of George Michael from yesterday and says that he was leaving the recording studio in London.
