My Favorite TV Detectives Part 2 of 4


And in the category of TV Detectives that make Ultra-Geeky Things Look Cool we have:

Nick Stokes played by George Eads on CSI (Las Vegas). He's consistent and shows that you don't have to be a geek to be a scientist which is a good lesson for kids of all ages. It seems like he wants to be the "bug guy" to replace Grissom, which will now make bugs cool too. He's like one stop shopping.

Don Epps from Numb3rs: I remember reading that they originally had Rob Lowe ear-marked for this role. This show is so clever. It makes math cool. You can't say that about too many things. (Epps isn't actually the mathematician, but he'll accept this reward on the nerd's behalf.)

Tomorrow's category will be: Oldies, But Goodies:
