Scott, I couldnï¿½t agree more. I donï¿½t have television and don't spend much time watching it via the internet with one exception, Eli! I discovered it once and am hooked. I to hope it returns, and as sung in one of his visions, well; "You got to have faith".

angee | 8:35 a.m. March 20, 2008

i love this show, i love jlm he is so believable and there is a certain innocence about him i usually dont watch abc shows other than pushing daisies which i love, and this show gives me the same feeling after i watch it. i love it hope it comes back

Move over, Stone | 9:06 a.m. March 20, 2008

Sometimes I agree with Scott Pierce. Not here.

Eli Stone is an original idea for a TV show, but the writing isn't that good, the characters are shallow, and the plotlines are barely scratch-deep.

Move Over Wrong | 9:56 a.m. March 20, 2008

Hey move over, "writing isn't that good" Where have you been, writing for television hasn't been "that good" since the dawn of the idiot box. Eli Stone is an entertaining show, LA Law, meets Hairspray, meets Ali McBeal. No the writing isn't all that good, but there isn't another TV show out there with writing any better. Eli Stone is as good a comedy on TV today, period.

Nothing but love for Eli | 11:16 a.m. March 20, 2008

I agree Move Over Wrong. I, too, love this show. There's something refreshing about it. And I think it will be one of those shows that will improve with time as the characters and writing develop a little more.

Eli Fan | 2:32 p.m. March 20, 2008

Here. Here.

Sometimes shows fall victim to unfortunate circumstances, and in this case, there are some attached. One of the main behind the scene guys who works closely with the creator (greg, cant spell his last name, starts with a B) on all of his other shows, is gravely ill. It is a great show, but the focus of the crew is on one of their own right now.

Vegas Ed | 6:34 p.m. March 20, 2008

We love Eli Stone, but the writers strike killed this whole season. Truthfully, as the ratings have dropped, we've spent less time in front of the boob tube, and actually had family time. I haven't missed TV much, but I am loving the NCAA Tourney.

Emma Wallace | 9:28 p.m. March 20, 2008

I love Eli Stone and really, truly hope they renew.

kvan | 10:57 a.m. March 21, 2008

I love Eli Stone...it always seems like the shows I like get cancelled and the crap keeps on going

tony & vickie | 1:33 p.m. March 22, 2008

We love this show and hope it continues. Even though it comes on at 10 pm, we tape it and watch it later. Let the producers know we want the show renewed!

Lauren | 9:09 p.m. April 5, 2008

This is the best new show on television. Every show gives me chills because the writing is so damn good.
I'm going to be really PO'd at ABC if they decide to cancel Eli Stone.

Save this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kanne | 8:03 a.m. April 11, 2008

I loooove this show! If it gets cancelled I will be SO dissappointed! I have convinced all my friends to start watching it on ABC.com and they all LOVE it too now!

I will follow it to whatever night it moves to after Grey's is back!

Anonymous | 9:07 p.m. April 13, 2008

This show needs to stay. It's the best thing going right now.

Richard | 9:33 p.m. April 13, 2008

This is a great show. I started watching and then got my mom and dad to watch. Now I go over to their house every Thursday to have dinner and watch Eli Stone. It's the first show that we watch together since I moved out 20 yrs ago. Please keep it on. I at least get a good home cooked meal once aweek. ;)

donna | 9:37 p.m. April 13, 2008

I LOVE this show. I was hooked from the first episode which I watched about 10 times. I talk this show up with my friends every chance I get.

Anonymous | 6:09 a.m. April 15, 2008

Finally a show that doesn't follow the herd. We love it.

JAH | 12:08 p.m. April 15, 2008

My husband and I love it!!!! Hooked from the very beginning...Please don't let the big wigs cancel it! I'd rather watch Eli Stone over Grey's Anatomy any day- and I am/used to be a huge fan of Grey's!

Jackie | 4:51 p.m. April 16, 2008

I agree with all the viewers who hope that Eli Stone returns next season. Love the show and the entire cast, especially Johnny Miller.

Jo | 9:13 p.m. April 17, 2008

This show has to return next season. I have liked it from the very first episode. Refreshing, funny, drama all rolled into one and NOT one of the never ending "reality" shows. A great cast.

Zach | 9:20 p.m. April 17, 2008

Bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back
Bring it back

Deb Miller | 10:32 p.m. April 17, 2008

Eli is a show that can save your mind and heart.
It grows on you more and more and then more
and more every time you watch.

Please renew this show. It would be a crime
against humanity not to. Plus the music is great.
Maybe the music of Jerry Garcia could be used.
There definately is a fan base and it is SFO.

The Fosters | 12:00 a.m. April 18, 2008

My wife and I both LOVE this show -- it's one of the best on television. If any network bigwigs are reading these posts: BRING IT BACK!!

John Couch | 12:34 a.m. April 18, 2008

I LOVE this show. It's filled with liberal tripe feel good messages and I'm a definite conservative. Even I want it back. The writing is excellent and the acting is just great. Why is this not a no brainer? Sometimes you gotta take a chance, Network TV. Remember the X-Files' first year? Someone was smart enough not to give it the axe. Hope you realize what you have here.

Hector garcia | 10:29 a.m. April 18, 2008

In the past I've been a huge supporter of ABC shows, but that's not true anymore. With the exception of Lost it's the only ABC show that I've watched until ELI STONE. From the get go the show has moved me in way I never though a TV show could. There have been many great shows that have been canceled to early but none that have been so inspirational. If there is a show that deserverï¿½s at least one more season its ELI STONE.

Ally | 8:26 p.m. April 18, 2008

I love Eli Stone but fear that it will be like all good shows in its first year and get cancelled to have its time slot filled with another CSI, reality TV or a failed attempt at the next lost. Please help save the good shows like Eli Stone , while we still have a chance for good quality TV.

laura | 12:22 a.m. April 19, 2008

bring it back!! Eli Stone is a prime example of what great television should be.

Liz | 10:23 a.m. April 19, 2008

I agree with Ally but I hope that this show makes the cut. With so many shows the same on TV (CSI, dance shows, reality shows), finally a show like Eli Stone comes along that makes you look forward to seeing it every week. My family and I love it!
Please RENEW!!!!

Lorraine | 4:37 p.m. April 19, 2008

This is truly an amazing hour of television. I always feel better after watching this show. I have faith that ABC will do the right thing and continue with this wonderful, uplifting, enlightening hour of television.

Amy | 1:05 p.m. April 20, 2008

What do we have to do to keep quality television on the air?? RENEW this fabulous show PLEASE!!

me | 8:13 p.m. April 20, 2008

awesome show

Debbie | 1:56 p.m. April 23, 2008

Our whole family loves this show! There are so few programs on television that are positive. Maybe all fans should start sending boxes of STONES to ABC to persuade them to make the right decision.

Anne Woods | 12:19 a.m. April 24, 2008

Please bring this fantastic show back for a second season! Two other great shows are returning - Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies. Let's add Eli Stone to that list - such great acting, warm and touching humor. It's not always about the ratings - break out of the nine dots! High quality shows should not be in the minority! Thank you!

Melinda | 5:40 p.m. April 25, 2008

thursday night was my family's favorite night of tv because of eli stone. the characters were so endearing that the show was a joy to watch. there aren't many programs left on tv that we can say that about. we fell in love with the show in episode one and want to see what happens in the crazy life of eli stone for many more seasons.

Imelda and Felicia | 2:59 p.m. May 2, 2008

We love Eli Stone!!!! Please bring it back!!!! Please, please. We cannot wait to see another episode every week. This is our show to watch during our lunch hour at work. Thank you.

Autumn | 1:06 p.m. May 6, 2008

This show is one of the few with a good story line in the midst of scores of other shows that seem to lack quality. To not renew it would be evidence of poor judgment on ABC's part. Many of us long for quality shows and Eli Stone is one of the few.

LISA | 3:45 p.m. May 9, 2008

Enter commentI LOVE THIS SHOW. I AM NOT ONE TO WATCH A SHOW IF IT CANT REALLY HAPPEN.ELI MAKES THIS SHOW GOOD,AND I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO COME BACK ON TV.

Monica | 1:19 p.m. May 11, 2008

I don't usually make comments about TV shows but Eli Stone is worth speaking up about. This show is wonderful! I join many of you in hoping ABC has the good judgment to bring it back for another season.

kristina | 11:18 p.m. May 21, 2008

Bring Eli Stone back - it's an awesome show and it's worth it! It's much better and thoughtful than many other tv shows. Great plot and idea, very fresh, simply cool!

Jorge | 11:37 p.m. May 28, 2008

I'm from Venezuela, showing support to this awesome show. I love Eli Stone's Series!!! Hopeful ABC decide to give us a second season...I have never seen a tv series like this!!!

mahesh | 4:07 p.m. July 14, 2008

one of the best TV show I've ever seen........this is my vote ....

Anne | 8:50 p.m. July 19, 2008

I've heard it's coming back this fall with Katie Holmes as guest. I love this show. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much initially but the more I watched it, the more I got hooked. Please bring it back!

rena jacobson | 6:19 p.m. Nov. 21, 2008

Please keep "Eli Stone" on the air. This is one of the most innovative, surprising, charming, beautifully cast shows currently on television. The cast is so talented and the musical number are creative and appropriate. Victor Garber, Jonny Lee Miller, et al are multi-talented and great at all they do. This show has wit, intelligence, charm and loyal viewers like myself, who will be awfully disappointed if you don't reconsider your decision.

Please keep "Eli Stone" on the air.

j. overbaugh | 10:02 a.m. Nov. 25, 2008

I cannot believe that the witty and innovative series Eli Stone has been cancelled rather than sex filled, boring shows like Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy, which do little for the respect one feels for the medical profession. . This doesn't say much for the intelligence of the tv executives and their sponsors .

cathie | 3:52 p.m. Nov. 25, 2008

now its being cancelled....how do we save it?

Anonymous | 7:14 p.m. Dec. 1, 2008

How do we save Eli Stone!!!!! A show that is not offensive, it is wonderful and witty.

The Coles' Family | 7:17 p.m. Dec. 3, 2008

We can't believe ABC is cancelling one of the most original shows on TV. My family and I sit together week after week to watch this original TV show. It has wonderful stories with a tiny bit of moral teachings: many thanks to the bright stars who thought of the show, the writers who write so many wonderful episodes and the actors who bring the script and story to life.
PLEASE SAVE ELI!

wondering | 5:30 p.m. Dec. 10, 2008

can't believe abc will cancell such a wholesome, anyone can watch, including the kids show. Maybe we should boycot the network, maybe then they might listen. I think I would have no problem giving up abc for a week. How about it?

Cindra | 12:35 p.m. Dec. 17, 2008

It's not right that ABC is canceling such a fantastic and orignal show! Save Eli Stone!

Linda | 12:36 p.m. Dec. 17, 2008

Let ABC know how you feel by emailing them through the ABC website and signing the petition at the Eli Stone page at the same site and at Save Eli Stone. I for one will not be quiet about the ridiculous way ABC refuses to support its own progamming. They're replacing this beautiful program with more reality shows and losing me as a viewer.
