2. If we're listing characters of color on TV shows, Numbers just added Sophina Brown to replace Diane Farr. Brown's character is a veteran of the LAPD who has a law degree and now works for the FBI. (For some reason, the IMDB has her listed for only two episodes, but I swear I heard she's a regular character.) Numbers also has Alimi Ballard in a regular role, and Navi Rawat plays a mathematician, and the head of the college math department is a woman (played by Kathy Najimy). Oh, and I've heard that Rob Morrow, David Krumholtz, and Judd Hirsch all assumed before the first season that the Eppes family is Jewish (they themselves all are Jewish), but the network apparently wanted to avoid making that explicit.
2a. But then at the end of every episode, most of the supporting characters fade away and the focus is on the Eppes family.
3. I've noticed that almost all of the shows we're discussing with POC regulars are workplace-based shows. There's no POC version of, say, Brothers and Sisters, and that situation is beyond annoying.
