Eli Stone
Encyclopedia
Eli Stone is an American TV series, and also the name of the title character.
San Francisco lawyer
Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller
) begins to see things, which leads him to discover a brain aneurysm. When Eli awakens to an unending George Michael soundtrack that only he can hear, gets dive-bombed by a WWI biplane on a busy San Francisco street, and faces a fire-breathing dragon outside his office window, there are two possible explanations: delusions caused by a potentially fatal brain aneurysm or the chance that something greater is at work. His visions lead him to accept cases with little monetary gain but a lot of moral goodness. He predicts an earthquake
that hits San Francisco.
The series originally aired on ABC
from January 31, 2008 to July 11, 2009. The series was created by Greg Berlanti
and Marc Guggenheim
, who also served as executive producers alongside Ken Olin
who directed the pilot, with Melissa Berman producing.
, who co-wrote the show with Marc Guggenheim
, described Eli Stone in Variety
as "a Field of Dreams
-type drama set in a law firm where a thirty-something attorney, whose name is the title of the show, begins having larger-than-life visions that compel him to do out-of-the-ordinary things.". Eli suffers from an inoperable brain aneurysm that causes him to have realistic hallucinations often relating to the plot of the episode to the extent that he may be considered a modern day prophet.
Pop singer George Michael
was featured prominently throughout the first season of the series, and each episode was named after one of his songs. Berlanti is a fan of Michael and made an effort to have him appear on the show. As luck would have it, Michael claimed he was a "TV Junkie." This led to the singer agreeing to do several episodes, including one in which Stone represents him in the case of a teen girl who plays the song "I Want Your Sex
" in protest of an abstinence-only sex education program in her school.
The show's legal setting, mixture of comedy and drama, and use of fantasy sequences has drawn comparisons to the series Ally McBeal
from some critics.
