This new show premiered on Fox tonight. It stars Keifer Sutherland and Danny Glover. I loved the pilot episode but was disappointed when they announced that the next episode won't be on until mid March.

Basically the show was about a special boy who communicates through numbers and apparently can see the future, his dad, a social services worker and a Professor.

Did anyone else see it? If so what are your thoughts?

I am looking forward to watching this. We don't have cable so I have to wait for it to be online. When I first read the review, it was on an autism website and it said it was about an autistic boy who communicates through numbers. That is my youngest nephew! He is autistic , had very limited speech for many years. He is now able to use words and communicate. His "thing" however is numbers. He studies old calendars for instance, he can tell you what day of the week any given day was on. He can go back to about 1860! It is pretty amazing to me. He also for a long time would talk in a string of numbers. None of us knew what it was and one day he kept saying the same string of numbers over and over again and I quickly wrote out A=1, B=2 and so on and then wrote down the numbers he was reciting. HE was spelling words with numbers. So I said the word he spelled and he got this HUGE smile on his face and said "Good Girl" ! I was so excited, I told his parents and his teachers and they were amazed. I still have to refer to my 'cheat sheet' to understand him sometimes but I think it is incredible the way the mind works.
So in answer to your question, I have not seen it but will definitely watch. I don't think my nephew sees the future but you never know!

LBP that is so amazing about your nephew! The show made it clear that everyone was writing the son off but they are quickly figuring out that he's the most brilliant of them all.

I'm really looking forward to when the show comes back on. If I remember correctly I "think" Fox plays all of their episodes directly on their website but they may have changed it.
