    In this warm, charming episode, the underappreciated legal show proves it's still fit to practice.

    Interesting detours, and a worthy show--but at times just a smidgen too self-righteous and melodramatic.

    Eli is hard not to like, whether or not you buy him as a prophet.

    A quality series that's the TV equivalent of comfort food, the emergence of Eli Stone from the Hollywood firmament may qualify as a minor miracle among more cynical viewers.

    For now, let's leave concerns for the future to Eli. In the present, things are looking good.

    Like most ABC shows, Eli Stone could stand to prune its cast and deepen its writing. But that's focusing on the glass half empty. So let's just be glad that this good-hearted show made it through the previous TV season and "Big Shots" didn't.

    As leaps of faith go, yes. And faith--in visions both magical and musical--has everything to do with Eli Stone's divine appeal.

    Maybe I could enjoy this show if the dialogue weren't so hacky.
