Numbers Adds Shark Star | Today's News: Our Take | 6/17/2008
As part of the plan to fill the void left by Diane Farr's departure, Sophina Brown — who most recently was part of the Shark ensemble — is joining CBS' Numbers this fall.Brown will play Nikki Donat, a former LAPD officer and adrenaline junkie who joins Don's FBI team as a junior agent. Brown's gig is recurring, says the Reporter, with the potential of becoming regular. — Matt Mitovich read more

Episode Recap: "When Worlds Collide" | Numbers | 5/17/2008
A season finale, a swan song for Diane Farr's Megan Reeves, and not quite a cliffhanger when in comes to Charlie's future involvement with the FBI.Even given this is a show about an FBI unit and the CalTech-style academics who work with them, this series only infrequently runs head-on into political matters, but producers and episode-writers Cheryl Heuton and Nicholas Falacci have something to say about the National Security State and its sometimes blind disruption of scientists' work and... read more
Diane Farr Dishes on Her Numbers Exit | TV Show Previews | 5/15/2008
Tonight marks Diane Farr's exit from Numbers after three years playing the spunky but (of late) troubled FBI agent Megan Reeves. We talked to the actress, who walked away from Rescue Me in 2005 to join the brainy CBS action show, about her latest decision, her upcoming twins (she already has a 14-month-old son!) and kissing Peter MacNicol. — Ileane Rudolph TVGuide.com: Congratulations! What were your first words on hearing that you were having twins and would have three babies under two... read more
Episode Recap: "Pay to Play" | Numbers | 5/12/2008
This was a very solid episode of Numb3rs, for all that it does take for granted a number of things that one might question, such as the gangster-wannabe nature of many rappers going as far as to spray bullets into a rival's house, or the quantifiability of pop-music success, either theoretically or via payola.At a rap-label's promotion party, it's two most successful artists are highlighted, when a self-recording/promoting rapper who resents the label-owner, at least, crashes and demands to be... read more
Episode Recap: "Atomic No. 33" | Numbers | 5/7/2008
An episode that was more of a straightforward mystery than usual, with multiple suspects in the murders of various members of a Christian-offshoot sect that could very easily be called a cult, and indeed is classified that way by state and Federal authorities. Also, an episode which gave a little space for Don and Robin to be playful with each other, and for Larry to begin to articulate the discontent which is starting to color his life. The title refers to the place in the chemist's Periodic... read more
Episode Recap: "End Game" | Numbers | 4/26/2008
A good episode, with a lot of reunions in it, and only one heavily telegraphed goof on the part of our agents. Aya Sumika returns as Liz Warner, Bil Nye as Bill Waldie, Sharif Atkins as fugitive Clay Porter, and the continuing presence of Michelle Nolden as Robin Brooks...and Don is even showing that he might've finally learned something about balancing work and love lives with a partner. We also get to see the still slightly shaggy, more irascible than usual paterfamilias, Alan Eppes,... read more
Pregnancy Adds Up to Twins for Numbers' Farr | Today's News: Our Take | 4/22/2008
Allow me a moment to stifle my semi-sympathetic belly laugh....OK.Soon-to-be-former Numbers star Diane Farr is pregnant with twins, a source close to the actress (her gossipy OB-GYN? An underpaid cashier at Buy Buy Baby?) tells People. Farr and hubby Seung Yong Chung are already parents to a 1-year-old son named Beckett. — Matt Mitovich (aka Jared and Jacob's busy, busy dad)Related:• Exclusive: Diane Farr's Numbers Up read more
Ask Matt | 4/14/2008
Q: I was just reading your responses to two different questions: one about The Unit not being on CBS' schedule and another about airing repeats of Supernatural on CBS, and I just wanted to respond. I actually think a better fit with NCIS would be Numbers. I know Numbers consistently wins its time slot, but it is on Friday nights at 10 pm/ET. I think the show has mass appeal and would benefit after a show like NCIS because it has the same feel. Finding a show to pair with The Unit is much ... read more
Episode Recap: "Checkmate" | Numbers | 4/12/2008
This was (Alimi Ballard's) Sinclair's episode, and a mostly (if not subtly) comic episode for Charlie (David Krumholtz), in rougly equal measures, and falls to the middle range for the series, despite some nice setpieces in Sinclair's attempts to encourage a bright young man to reconsider becoming a bright young thug. And this episode marks the (temporary?) return of Robin Brooks (Michelle Nolden), Don's short-term flame in the US Attorney's office.The episode begins with three attempts at... read more
Watch Video: An Inside Look at Charlie's FBI Training | David's Numbers Blog | 4/11/2008
This week's Numbers episode, "Checkmate" — written by Robert Port and directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal — finds Charlie Eppes sent to FBI training... finally. This is a storyline I've been anxiously waiting to perform since the inception of the series. When a show like this is pitched to an actor, the actor's mind races through all the possible storylines for his character. This is a storyline that I thought would have been written earlier in our run, and I've been encouraging our... read more
Episode Recap: "Black Swan" | Numbers | 4/5/2008
An excellent return from hiatus, "Black Swan" did most of what Numb3rs does best.The opening montage, contrasting the FBI agents taking down a meth lab (probably not but possibly a slight nod to the most Numb3rs-like of the new series to begin since the strike, Breaking Bad) with the introductory lecture by the academics to a new class of teaching assistants, was typically clever and mutually reinforcing, even down the usual color-coding (blues for the FBI, sepias for academe). When Don sees a... read more
Ask Ausiello | 3/26/2008
Q: Do you have any hot Numbers tidbits? A: Aside from Diane Farr leaving the show? Um? I hear she's very close to announcing two significant follow-up projects. And by "she" I mean "me." Stay close to my Ausiello Report blog for the latest. read more
Exclusive: Diane Farr's Numbers Up | Ausiello Report | 3/25/2008
Looks like Numbers will be minus its female star when it returns next fall.Sources confirm to me exclusively that Diane Farr has opted not to renew her contract and will leave the CBS procedural later this season. Farr joined Numbers in 2005, filling the void left by Sabrina Lloyd. Prior to that, she spent two seasons lugging around heavy equipment and making goo-goo eyes at Daniel Sunjata on FX's Rescue Me.There's no word on how her character, G-woman Megan Reeves, will be written out, or in... read more
Numbers Crunches PC/Mac Ad in Video Spoof | Today's Top Videos | 3/24/2008
Even if you aren’t an avid watcher of the crime drama Numbers, chances are you'll still get a kick out this PC/Mac parody. You’ve got the mathematician, fractal-dimension-using brother playing the role of the cool Mac guy and the FBI-agent brother playing the more conservative PC guy. Yeah… PC bro has a waaaay more fun job. "Subduing perpetrators and saving the victim"? How much cooler can a job be? read more

"There are things he likes about it and things that are tough for him," exec producer Cheryl Heuton says. A case about academic freedom versus national security causes a sharp split between the... read more
Ask Ausiello | 3/5/2008
Q: Any cool Numbers info now that the strike's over? Any information on some of our favorite guest stars? Past characters? Does groveling help? A: Groveling is fine. Buying me an assortment of these in size medium is even better. And let's face it, that's the least you can do considering the exclusive prattle I'm about to send your way. Actually, exec producer/honorary Aushole Cheryl Heuton is going to send it your way, but let's not split hairs. "Never one to say no to an office romance, Don... read more
Episode Recap: "Power" | Numbers | 1/19/2008
A very well-done episode dealing with several sensitive issues (including some backstory on Diane Farr's character Megan Reeves) as well as balancing the criminal investigation and the personal drama (and the math, and this time a bit of physics) better than perhaps any other episode this season. And it just might be the last episode of the season...it seems to be the last completed episode. Co-executive producer Julie Hébert gets lots of points for writing and directing this one so... read more
Episode Recap: "Breaking Point" | Numbers | 1/12/2008
This was one of those Numb3rs episodes that felt as if it had been cut down from perhaps a seventy-minute running time, or would've been more comfortable if it could've run a bit longer than 48 minutes or so. Everything was just a bit too compressed, giving most of the more intense moments a slightly over-the-top feeling, and even the more laid-back sequences could've used more room to breathe.Synopsis: It begins with intercutting, between Don Eppes running down with his FBI team the known... read more
