While I agree that Tom Cavanagh is a good actor, I wouldn't watch a show just because he was in it. I did like Ed, but I don't think it would have been as good of show without Julie Bowen and their chemistry together. I found him funny in his episodes of Scrubs but his new show, Eli Stone, missed the mark. The story line is strange and writing is just too weak, neither of which is Tom's fault but him being in it does not make it a show to watch.

I'll give it to you that Eli Stone is unique...but in this case, I don't think that is a good thing. It's just not good comedy...its dumb humor. You have a lawyer that picks his cases due to visions he sees caused by his brain tumor. Now I'm not saying tv shows have to be realistic, but in this case its just a strange mix of unrealistic story lines and stupid humor. I tuned in to this show because of my addiction to law shows...and was disappointed.

So my point is that Tom Cavanagh might be a good actor but he has not chosen roles that show his comedic skills, with the exception of Scrubs. If he has these skills, such as great delivery and timing, he has not been in a role that showcased them.
