==Summary==
==Summary==
''The Evidence'' is a character-driven police procedural revolving around a San Francisco Police Department Inspector forlorn over the murder of his wife. His best friend and partner provides some comic relief. Each episode begins with a voice-over and the presentation of the evidence for the episode's particular crime. The evidence is presented as though it is puzzle pieces and inviting the viewer to 'play along' in solving the mystery. As the story progresses the characters discover the evidence shown to the viewer at the start of the episode. The inspectors are aided by Dr. Sol Goldman, the medical examiner. The multi-episode story arch involves Inspector Cole investigating the the murder of his wife Julia.
''The Evidence'' is a character-driven detective series revolving around Inspectors Sean Cole ([[Rob Estes]]) and Cayman Bishop ([[Orlando Jones]]), two long-time partners and best friends in the [[San Francisco Police Department]]. The crucial evidence of every case is presented at the outset of the story; all of the pieces to the puzzle will be known by viewers from the beginning.


The show was created by Sam Baum and [[Dustin Thomason]], who also serve as executive producers, and is a [[John Wells (TV producer)|John Wells]] Production in association with [[Warner Bros. Television]].
As Bishop and Cole unravel the mysteries set before them, and Dr. Sol Goldman ([[Martin Landau]]) lends his scientific expertise, they discover the evidence presented at the beginning, and will find that the crime, like the evidence itself, is never what it seems. At the same time, Cole is trying to solve the murder of his own wife Julia.

Despite being filmed in San Francisco Stanley found the show to be "no more representative than the 1970's cop show ''[[The Streets of San Francisco]]'' and might as well be set in [[Chicago]] or [[Kansas City]]."

Tim Goodman of the ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' began his review by saying that five years ago, in 2001, ''The Evidence'' might have seemed compelling. That was before the [[CSI franchise]] set a new standard for the police procedural. "You'd better give the audience some kind of complicated anti-hero character study that is at least as good as what CBS is doing and maybe, quite possibly, dares to approach the level of basic cable. ''The Evidence'' offers none of that". Goodman compares the character of Inspector Cole to [[Adrian Monk]], the titular character of the cable television series ''[[Monk (TV series)|Monk]]''. While both characters' respective wife was murdered the [[obsessive-compulsive disorder]] that Adrian Monk suffers from makes for a more interesting character than the forlorn Sean Cole. Goodman concluded his review by stating that ""The Evidence" is overwhelming that you should watch something else."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/03/20/DDGS7HQ3IA1.DTL&type=tvradio |title='The Evidence' is clear: ABC's new crime series not worth serving time |last=Goodman |first=Tim |work=[[San Francisco Chronicle]] |date=March 20, 2006 |accessdate=October 6, 2010}}</ref>

The Evidence is an American police procedural drama that debuted on March 22, 2006 on ABC. The series starred Rob Estes, Orlando Jones, and Martin Landau.

Summary

The Evidence is a character-driven police procedural revolving around a San Francisco Police Department Inspector forlorn over the murder of his wife. His best friend and partner provides some comic relief. Each episode begins with a voice-over and the presentation of the evidence for the episode's particular crime. The evidence is presented as though it is puzzle pieces and inviting the viewer to 'play along' in solving the mystery. As the story progresses the characters discover the evidence shown to the viewer at the start of the episode. The inspectors are aided by Dr. Sol Goldman, the medical examiner. The multi-episode story arch involves Inspector Cole investigating the the murder of his wife Julia.

The show was created by Sam Baum and Dustin Thomason, who also serve as executive producers, and is a John Wells Production in association with Warner Bros. Television.

The show's pilot episode premiered on Wednesday, March 22, 2006 at 10 p.m. on the ABC television network. Three additional episodes were broadcast before the show was removed from the schedule due to poor ratings. The remaining four episodes were burned off on Saturdays during June and July 2006.

Cast

Reception

The Evidence has an average score of 40/100 on Metacritic based on 24 reviews from television critics.[1] Nancy deWolf Smith of The Wall Street Journal said that the show "deserves an award for packing the most intrigue into a first episode." deWolf Smith went on to convey her fascination with the characters, both the texture and depth of Inspector Cole due to the murder of his wife and light-hearted banter of Inspector Bishop. In writing of the secondary and guest stars for the pilot deWolf Smith said, "Even the people who make relatively brief appearances leave you wanting to know more about them."[2] Gloria Goodale of The Christian Science Monitor found the "hook" of the show to solve the crime along with the cops doesn't really work. Goodale gave The Evidence a grade of B and said it is "another urban crime procedural peopled with hip, conflicted detectives. Still, good casting and well-paced writing give hope."[3]

Tom Shales of The Washington Post said that there can be vexing decisions about what to watch, citing the then-current top-rated Sunday shows The Sopranos and Desperate Housewives. Shales said that there was no indecision to be found as The Evidence is a "high-stakes heart-pounder" compared to the "lowbrow nap-maker" show Heist, which premiered at the same time. Shales compared the plight of Inspector Cole to that of Richard Kimble, the titular character of the television series The Fugitive.[4]

Alessandra Stanley, television critic for The New York Times, was not as found of The Evidence. Among the first things she mentions is that with the show being set in San Francisco there are no Asian or gay characters, not even in the background of crowd shots of the first episode. Despite being filmed in San Francisco Stanley found the show to be "no more representative than the 1970's cop show The Streets of San Francisco and might as well be set in Chicago or Kansas City." Stanley described the characters as the "too familiar" tormented guy with his buddy for comic relief.[5]

Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle began his review by saying that five years ago, in 2001, The Evidence might have seemed compelling. That was before the CSI franchise set a new standard for the police procedural. "You'd better give the audience some kind of complicated anti-hero character study that is at least as good as what CBS is doing and maybe, quite possibly, dares to approach the level of basic cable. The Evidence offers none of that". Goodman compares the character of Inspector Cole to Adrian Monk, the titular character of the cable television series Monk. While both characters' respective wife was murdered the obsessive-compulsive disorder that Adrian Monk suffers from makes for a more interesting character than the forlorn Sean Cole. Goodman concluded his review by stating that ""The Evidence" is overwhelming that you should watch something else."[6]
