Raines is a crime drama television series that premiered on the NBC network in the United States on March 15, 2007, as a mid-season replacement, as well as on CH in Canada and on Network Ten in Australia.[1]
The series focuses on Michael Raines (Jeff Goldblum), a mentally disturbed LAPD detective, who interacts with hallucinations of dead crime victims in order to solve criminal cases. Raines must deal with his unique, unintentional method, as it causes problems with his co-workers and in his personal life.
The first two episodes aired on Thursday nights (March 15 and March 22) at 10:00 PM Eastern Time during the timeslot normally occupied by ER. The third episode aired eight days later, taking up its regular Friday at 9:00 PM timeslot.
Luis Guzmán originally had the role of Charlie Lincoln, but after the pilot was shot, he was replaced by Malik Yoba. NBC then asked that the producers reshoot the scenes in which he appeared.
