Eli Stone is an American television comedy-drama created by Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who also served as executive producers alongside Ken Olin who directed the pilot, with Melissa Berman producing.

The show starred Jonny Lee Miller in the title role of attorney Eli Stone. In the first episode, Stone is discovered to have an inoperable brain aneurysm which is causing hallucinations. His acupuncturist, Dr. Chen, suggests that his hallucinations are actually divinely inspired visions of the future. These visions often foreshadowed future cases and events, including an impending earthquake.

Eli Stone premiered on Thursday, January 31, 2008 at 10:00PM Eastern/9:00PM Central, following the return of Lost; its first season finale aired April 17, 2008.
