From an excellent article at http://www.azcentral.com/ent/tv/articles/1112johndoe.html LOS ANGELES - While the title character of "John Doe" searches for his identity, the new Fox drama is on an even more crucial quest for viewers. Its mission is helped by an intriguing concept, that of a man who washes up on a Seattle area island lacking any memory of himself or his life but with boundless knowledge and the ability to quickly master a skill. That sets up clever scenes in which Doe, who becomes an amateur crime-buster while trying to solve his own mystery, rattles off enough factoids to fill a CNN Headline News screen and is an instant pilot, race car driver or whatever's needed. Another plus for "John Doe" is its handsome star, Dominic Purcell, who manages to make his know-it-all character both likable and swagger-free. (snip, end quote) Wow. Gabrielle "Scent of a Woman" Anwar enters the scene in the most incredible episode yet in this series. I missed last weeks because of a crashed tivo but I'm glad I caught this ep'. Meanwhile, the series keeps edging closer and closer to CSI with every episode. Why not, just like the hero, the show itself is desperately seeking an identity and watching this identity crisis is very entertaining. Friday night on Fox at 8 pm.

John Doe was the main character on Prison Break. They finally escaped.
