Premieres Tuesday, September 20, 2016 at 9:00 PM ET Bull stars Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull in a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, the founder of one of the most prolific trial consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. Bull employs an enviable team of experts at Trial Analysis Corporation to shape successful narratives down to the very last detail. They include his quick-witted former brother-in-law, Benny Colón, a lawyer who acts as defense attorney in the company’s mock trials; Marissa Morgan, a cutting-edge neurolinguistics expert from the Department of Homeland Security; former NYPD detective Danny James, the firm’s tough but relatable investigator; haughty millennial hacker Cable McCrory, who is responsible for gathering cyber intelligence; and Chunk Palmer, a fashion-conscious stylist and former All-American lineman who fine tunes clients’ appearances for trial. In high-stakes trials, Bull’s combination of remarkable insight into human nature, three Ph.D.’s and a top-notch staff creates winning strategies that tip the scales of justice in his clients’ favor.  Danny James, Benny Colon, Cable McCrory, Jason Bull, Marissa Morgan, Chunk Palmer |

I think it's going to be really good.
I saw a 5 minute preview on YouTube with my mom and it looks good and intense at the same time.
Michael Weatherly is definitely branching out from his Tony Dinozzo image.

I enjoyed the episode. I especially liked the contrast between Dr. Bull being able to read people's character and his inability to manipulate the juror into answering his "how do you catch a cold" question. She gave him some perceptive advice that said something about his character. That was well played.
I wondered if the murderer would be caught during the episode. They devoted about 30 seconds to that, probably because it was not the focus of the premiere.
I like Weatherly's portrayal of Dr. Bull.

It was a pretty good premiere episode, I worry since Weatherly is the lead actor will he be able to carry the series on his own? Only time will tell.

I have no doubt that Weatherly's fans will tune in and he should add some new fans along the way. He has good looks, charisma and a mischievous smile. What more does he need? |

True, if he had a good supporting co-star it might help too.

You sound as if you expect the series to flop.

Not really, I just was just a little surprised to see how they decided how to cast the characters.

Too early to tell, but the premiere is reported to have 15.49 million viewers, just a little less than NCIS. It had more viewers than other shows I watch.

Ten minutes into "The Woman in  ", Dr. Bull showed how a jury can switch from "guilty" to "not guilty" based on gender. Dr. Bull looked yummy in the pilot uniform. |

Tonight's episode showed more of the personalities of Bull's team. I like all of them. Atty Benny Colon presented the case very well and I like the way he did not hesitate to take the case even though he had not defended anyone in a real court for a year.
I remember I was very upset when our Law & Order team lost a case. I am hoping Bull does not lose a case for a very long time so I can enjoy the episodes.
Next episode is in two weeks. Why?! Vice Presidential Debate.

I personally feel like if this episode had been better as the pilot it would possibly have gained more viewers but since it's the second one, it was good still.
I like Bull's imitation of Sean Connery and almost all of the episode.
I was glad it all went well for everyone in the episode except for the people who tragically lost their lives in the crash but overall well done!

Bull can be cocky, but in a subtle way. He told his assistant to go get Benny before the pilot fired her attorney. He was confident he could persuade her to get rid of that selfish attorney. I like the way he expresses confidence in his team's ability to get the right answers. If he ever doubts them, he does not show it. |

I am keeping an eye on the published ratings for this show. It is interesting that on Tuesday, all of the scripted shows across the 5 networks had decreases in viewers. Week 2 - the 3rd number is number of viewers in millions.  |

1.03 Unambiguous
10-11-16
Dr. Bull and the team tackle jury bias as their client publicly accuses a star athlete of assaulting her; Benny encounters an ex, who happens to be a fellow attorney.
Dr. Bull protects his client on the way out of court.

I enjoyed “Bull” very much and it deserves the praise it is receiving as one of the best dramas.
It is very interesting to see them select the mirror jurors and how that helps them to make changes in their strategy.
One of the high profile podcasts that led to a re-trial for a man happened in my area so I am familiar with the clout that podcasts have. However, the reporter in the case Bull was defending was unethical and selfish.
Benny was up to the challenge and did not flinch even though he knew Bull manipulated him into trying a case in which his ex was opposing counsel. I guess we will see more of her.
I love a happy ending.
