Tonight marks the return of Eli Stone, ABC's legal dramedy that stars Jonny Lee Miller as an attorney who is discovered to have a brain aneurysm that causes hallucinations or, as Dr. Chen suggests, divinely inspired visions of the future. The second season opener was written by Marc Guggenheim, whose credits include Brothers & Sisters, CSI: Miami and Law and Order, and Andrew Kreisberg, whose credits include Boston Legal and Hope & Faith.
But before we find out about what's in store for tonight's episode, let's revisit last season's finale. When we last saw Eli Stone, Eli took a case involving a cancer-stricken man, who wanted to die with dignity, which was intertwined with the aftermath of Eli's surgery to remove his brain aneurysm. In the process of Eli's operation, he had a face-to-face meeting with God, who came in the form of George Michael.

While many networks might be in trouble next Fall due to the writers' strike shrinking the new pilot season, ABC is looking quite good. It has a solid stable of returning favorites (Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives), hit reality shows (The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars) and a solid 2007 freshman class that will return for sophomore seasons (Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Samantha Who?). This doesn't leave much room for new or bubble shows, so this season ABC is cleaning out its closet, dumping a lot of iffy shows while picking up a few gems from other networks.

Thursday night was the finale of the first season of the surrealistic drama, Eli Stone. By many accounts, the series chose a perfect ending to its experimental maiden season. But will it be enough to merit another go for Jonny Lee Miller and the rest of the Eli Stone cast and crew?
To date, Eli Stone's cast, crew and fans are still waiting for news from ABC on whether the show will get a second season. And, as far as the finale's numbers go, there remains no solid basis to achieve any certainty of its return unless the network finally says so.
