Watch “Eli Stone” with George Michael
Amazon Ad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure you all heard the George Michael song during last week’s episode of “Father Figure<\/a>.” (The song was “This Is Not Real Love” and was played when Taylor and Eli entered their engagement party.)\u00a0 It appears that some are actually missing the George Michael parts of “Eli Stone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Eli Stone’ Recap: Saving Private Swaine (Star Pulse link is no longer available):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Eli Stone: Father Figure (The TVFodder link is no longer available):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

With much humility, I am forced to seat myself in the ugly seat this week. I was convinced that George Michael\u2019s 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\u2019m sorry and I stand corrected.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eli Stone stars Jonny Lee Miller, Natasha Henstridge, Loretta Devine, Matt Letscher, Sam Jaeger, and Victor Garber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DVD for the first season of Eli Stone<\/a> (Amazon Ad) is currently available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
