Numb3rs Review Summary
Television addicts seem to agree. Numb3rs, airing on CBS at 10:00 on Friday nights is unusual and educational. Starring David Krumholtz, Rob Morrow, Judd Hirsch and Peter MacNichol, Numb3rs is a crime drama focusing on catching criminals and the relationship between the Epps brothers and their father. It is also, "a freaky look at how numbers play a role in every day life". Reviewers say the lead character, Charlie, "has no problem in seeing the crime in mathematical terms. What may be more amazing is he convinces us, the audience, that he can see it". The characters are fun, likable and the story lines fascinating, although one critic found nothing compelling about it. On the other hand, you can use the show to "show your children that math has more uses than they know". Numb3rs is currently the most popular show in its time slot and about to enter its third season. Our reviewers' consensus is Numb3rs is a good option for your television viewing time.

I have always been in awe of people who could think in mathmatical terms. While I was a straight A math student in college, I always knew that my grades were a result of my ability to memorize things on a short-term basis, cram for my exam and regurgitate all that I had memorized.
Never was this so apparent than during my very brief membership in the college math club. Frankly, I had only the vaguest notion of what the other members were talking about. I did however envy their ability to think in ways that seemed so foreign to me.
And so it is with Numb3rs, CBS' hit crime show.

Facinating twist on your typical crime drama, and having the hero be a mathamatician has got to be a great role model for the younger generation! The characters and acting are beleviable, likeable and interesting, and the addition of the math component to crime solving makes Numbers a great show!
Math is so cool This is one of those shows you should show your kids so that they understand that math is more than what they learn in school that it can help in so many different ways.
The cast is also just a great together
