I just watched a couple episodes of the TV show Numb3rs. I love this show. If you haven't heard of it it's about an FBI agent and his genius, crime solving math professor younger brother. Now the reason I got into the show was it actually had decent math and starred a, well, cool geek. The believable math thing lasted about two episodes. The reason why I still watch it, and love it, is because what it really is is an exploration of male familial relations.
Seriously, the best parts of this mathematician fights crime show are the moments at home between the two brothers and thier dad. The episode I just watched dealt with guilt over parental attention. Most touch on the subject how two people from the same family can end up with very different personalities, jobs, etc., but they are still family. Besides How I Met Your Mother, I cannot think of another show on TV for which it is easier to connect with the main characters. It's wonderful.
