The show focuses equally on the relationships among Don Eppes, his brother Charlie Eppes, and their father, Alan Eppes (Judd Hirsch), and on the brothers' efforts to fight crime, normally in Los Angeles. A typical episode begins with a crime, which is subsequently investigated by a team of FBI agents led by Don and mathematically modeled by Charlie, with the help of Larry Fleinhardt (Peter MacNicol) and Amita Ramanujan (Navi Rawat). The insights provided by Charlie's mathematics were always in some way crucial to solving the crime. The series was the most popular show airing on Friday evenings throughout its first four seasons. Its sixth season premiered September 25, 2009. On November 4, 2009 the Numb3rs episode order had been cut from 22 to 16 episodes. Star Rob Morrow joined the cast of now canceled legal drama The Whole Truth for ABC. CBS officially cancelled Numb3rs on May 18, 2010. |
