Matthew Gray Gubler is returning to TV!<\/p>\n

While that means he won\u2019t be returning to Criminal Minds<\/a>, I daresay this might be better.<\/p>\n

After entertaining us for so long as part of an ensemble, he\u2019ll now headline an upcoming CBS procedural that is currently titled Einstein. That title is subject to change, but the name recognition might work to its benefit.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline, Gubler will star in and produce<\/a> the new show.<\/p>\n

The good news with Einstein is plentiful. It hails from Monk creator and executive producer Andy Breckman and director and executive producer Randy Zisk.<\/p>\n

This is excellent news for Criminal Minds fans who miss fan favorite Gubler on the small screen.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s especially true since Criminal Minds is now on Paramount+<\/a>, and there are still holdouts who either refuse to buy or can\u2019t afford streamers.<\/p>\n

Even better? Since Gubler wasn\u2019t able to return to Criminal Minds due to scheduling issues, he may have a better chance of jumping in for an arc if Paramount controls his schedule.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is pilot news, but with this talented group of people, we have little doubt that it won\u2019t wow the network brass. There\u2019s just too much going for this one not to be greenlit.<\/p>\n

If we get a double whammy from this, my little heart will be singing a sweet song!<\/p>\n

But what, exactly, is Einstein all about?<\/p>\n

First of all, the series is based on a German series<\/a> that ran from 2017-2019. <\/p>\n

The description of that series is: Felix Winterberg helps police in Bochum to avoid drug charges. Meanwhile, Albert Einstein\u2019s ill great-grandson is reluctant to aid Commissioner Elena Lange.<\/p>\n

CBS\u2019s version of Einstein will focus on Lew \u00a0Einstein, a \u201cbrilliant but directionless\u201d tenured professor who \u201cspends his days as a comfortably\u00a0tenured professor until his bad boy antics land him\u00a0in trouble with the law and he is pressed into\u00a0service helping a local police detective solve her\u00a0most puzzling cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Living under the weight of his great-grandfather\u2019s name, Lew has been unable to find a path that would live up to the name.<\/p>\n

By solving homicide cases, he just may find the purpose in life he\u2019s desperately been seeking.<\/p>\n

Being a genius will come easily to Gubler, a trait Lew shared with Criminal Minds Spencer Reid.<\/p>\n

Gubler didn\u2019t get much of a chance to play to his comedic talents on Criminal Minds, but when he did, they played beautifully.<\/p>\n

Einstein is a comedic drama that will give Gubler a chance to show his comedic chops.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been craving more Blue Sky programming<\/a>, and it seems Hollywood has finally recognized that.<\/p>\n

Elsbeth<\/a>, High Potential<\/a>, and now Einstein scratch the itch we need to solve crimes with lighthearted banter rather than life-and-death stakes for the detectives and victims.<\/p>\n

While we would have expected a Monk series to land in the NBCU family now that USA Network is ramping up scripted programming again, this is better for Gubler fans.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s even better for Monk<\/a> fans hoping to get that same vibe, as they can watch it with an antenna. Yes, people still do that!<\/p>\n
