Numb3rs: The Final Season

I have not watched NBC since Law & Order; Criminal Intent went to the USA Network! As for ABC, well, it's been about 5-6 years since I've watched ANYTHING on that channel. CBS has been the only network left of the original "Big 3" that has had anything worth watching the past several years. But they too are really screwing up! First it was the cancellation of Moonlight starring Alex O'Laughlin. I honestly believe they cancelled that as payback for the writers strike! Why else would they cancel a hugely popular new show like that; nothing but clear cut vindictiveness on the part of CBS management, acting like spoiled little brats! Then Criminal Minds replaced Mandy Patinkin who is a very talented actor! But at least they replaced him with Joe Mantegna, another excellent actor! Now I find out that Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs may also be done? Why doesn't cbs pull their heads out of their butts and pay attention to what the people like! Yet they leave shows like CSI on the air even though William Petersen has left and he WAS CSI:Crime Scene Investigation! The only good shows left will be CSI: Miami, NCIS & Criminal Minds! All the excellent shows are now showing up on cable stations, (or in my case satellite stations); shows like Burn Notice, In Plain Sight, Royal Pains, The Closer, Leverage, How The Earth Was Made, MythBusters, The Universe, MonsterQuest & UFO Hunters, although I think UFO Hunters was just cancelled too, IDIOTS! I think in another 10-20 years NBC, CBS and ABC won't even exist! They don't know a good thing when they see it anymore!I do hope that NUMB3ERS has not been cancelled and that they leave it on the air for a while longer! Judd Hirsch is GREAT in this show! Even though his parts are usually small, I believe without him the show would not have come as far as it has! He pulls it all together! This is one show where all the characters work!

For half a decade "Numb3rs" followed mathematician Charlie Eppes (David Krumholtz) and his FBI agent brother Don (Rob Morrow). Charlie's phenomenal math insights helped solve more than a hundred crimes over the course of the series, and this DVD set of the sixth and final season contains all 16 of that season's episodes that were originally aired from September 2009 to the series finale in March 2010.Season Six was relatively short, but there were many strong episodes--the team encountered worlds such as Russian roulette, gambling, cloning, and the paranormal, and used Charlie's tips in the mathematical concepts of game theory, ultimatum game, and risk analysis among others to solve crimes involving a sniper, robbery, kidnapping, computer hacking, identity theft, a hostage situation, and more.Henry Winkler guest starred in an episode this season, and this set includes special features discussing the filming of the show. "Numb3rs" had great chemistry among the lead characters and superb writing, and the final episodes tied up the storylines for the main characters and showed the direction they planned on taking in the future.While fans of the series were disappointed when "Numb3rs" ended, the show's run of 118 episodes was creditable for a show of its type and provided much enjoyment with its unique mathematical spin on police drama.

This season concluded my hands down favorite crime show! Numb3rs excellently combined criminal investigation and the bond of family and friendship. Its cases were realistic and exciting leaving you on the edge of your seat, and at the same time did not focus on the crime being committed but how they solved that crime. So many shows place too much emphasis on the crime and the sickness of it and does not focus on how they actually solve the crime leaving you at the end of the show relieved that the criminal was caught but feeling a kind of sick as a result of the in depth of emphasis placed on what, how, and when the crime was committed. Numb3rs, on the other hand, does not zero in as much on the grievance as it does on how the crime was solved and often times ending on a positive note of family, trust, love, or friendship leaving you glad that the perpetrator was apprehended but uplifted by the way each member of the FBI team or Epps family loves and cares for each other.

"Numb3rs" is one of the few TV series that I qualify as very good. Season 6 was the final season. In most ways it was also the weakest season. The "fun math" that was a cornerstone of the earlier seasons was almost entirely lost. Megan (on of their best characters) had already left.It's still worth the view, though, especially for the fans of the series. The relationships among the characters are still engaging. "Numb3rs" also brought to a close. The "back stories" arc the season to bring the characters into their post-series lives, set forth in the last episode. (Enough said. No spoilers.)If you're new to "Numb3rs", start with Season 1.If you found Season 5 too slow or lost its way, you may want to skip Season 6. I think the wind-up was worthwhile, but Season 6 is otherwise not appreciably better than Season 5.Everyone else, you probably will be happy with Season 6.[medium: Amazon Prime download]

Sixteen more times Charlie's maths helps solve FBI brother Don's cases - serial killers, jewel thieves, gun runners, identity fraudsters, hackers all destined for jail (unless slain in shootouts).For six seasons the series has been enhanced by inventive scripts, a charismatic cast, and the intriguing premise that maths holds the key to everything.Fans should be happy with this affectionate farewell, everything ending on a high with new horizons opening for so many involved.Bonuses include details of the revolutionary cameras, appreciation by the actresses for such strong roles (none of them here for decorative purposes). Best of all, there is a twenty five minute look back at the past six years - tears shed in plenty at the final party for cast and crew.Why only four stars? Unfortunately from the very start I have been driven to near distraction by the intrusive music. It saturates, particularly resented when Charlie explains his theories. The quality of everything else has caused me to perservere regardless. Hopefully other viewers were not driven away.The Eppes brothers will be missed, ditto their dad. What now for the always entertaining, enigmatic Larry - great insights achieved when so long living rough in the desert? Yes, there is no doubt much we would like to ask. It is good policy leaving us wanting more.

Thoroughly enjoyable. This is not a gritty, real-life cop show. The show is characterized by a general feel good atmosphere, which is in contrast to the crimes shown. The bad guys are often caught, except maybe for one or two episodes, with the help of one of Charlie's or Amita's formulas. There's some good acting, and some really interesting characters. This is lightweight, and fun.

Great End of this great series this is going to be missed.

I have all the series of Numb3rs and enjoy seeing and re-seeing it. I enjoy the characters and the maths (even though the maths is often beyond me. Always get the bad guys. It was a shame the Numb3rs was cancelled.

Such a good series and good value.
