Eleventh Hour from acclaimed producer Jerry Bruckheimer follows Dr. Jacob Hood, a brilliant biophysicist and special science advisor to the government, as he investigates scientific crises and oddities. His jurisdiction is absolute and Hood is dogged in his pursuit of those who would abuse and misuse scientific discoveries and breakthroughs for their own gain. His passion and crusade is to protect the substance of science from those with nefarious motives. He is called in at the eleventh hour and he represents the last line of defense. Special Agent Rachel Young is the decorated FBI protection officer assigned to watch Hood's back.

my take
The X-Files meets Eureka. This might get confused with Fringe with the exception that this reads more like Oddity of the Week than the aforementioned and seemingly serialized Fringe. It's another hour of Bruckheimer TV on CBS, so that's a plus in the way of network promotion. It follows CSI: The Mothership and is in a wide open slot against ABC's new Life on Mars and the final season (haven't you heard?) of NBC's ER. The idea doesn't entirely thrill me and this is a candidate for First to Die.
CBS Thursday 10pm
