Tonight, CBS will be rebroadcasting the pilot episode of its new drama A GIFTED MAN, starring Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Ehle, Margo Martingdale and Pablo Schreiber.

The episode takes place after the ghost of Michael's ex-wife visits him from the afterlife and asks him to help continue running her low income clinic, he finds himself rushing back and forth between taking care of his own patients at Holt Neuro and her less fortunate patients at the clinic, on a rebroadcast of the series premiere of A GIFTED MAN, Friday, Oct. 28 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Julie Benz ("Dexter") guest stars as Christina Holt, and Tony Award-winning actor Bill Irwin ("CSI") guest stars as Ron Vinetz.

A GIFTED MAN is a drama about a brilliant, charismatic surgeon whose life changes forever when his deceased ex-wife begins teaching him the meaning of life from the "hereafter." Michael Holt is an exceptional doctor who lives a materialistic life of luxury thanks to his work-obsessed career and powerful and wealthy patients; however, Michael's ordered world is rocked when his ex-wife, Anna, an idealistic free-clinic doctor and the love of his life, mysteriously appears to him. In an attempt to go back to his "normal" life, Michael visits Anton, a carpenter who moonlights as a Shaman to try and extract Anna's spirit from his body, but when Anna appears and asks Michael to go to her clinic to help keep it running, he realizes she needs him more now then ever. Curious about Michael's sudden change in behavior is his efficient assistant, Rita, who works tirelessly to facilitate his schedule in order to accommodate his added responsibilities at the clinic. Touched by those in need and accepting of Anna's compassionate "presence," Michael's attitude toward serving the rich and poor is turned upside down, and he begins to see that there's room in his life for everyone. Seven time Emmy nominee Neal Baer, Academy Award nominee Susannah Grant, Academy Award winner Jonathan Demme, Sarah Timberman, and Carl Beverly are executive producers for CBS Television Studios. (Originally aired 9/23/11.)
