Guest Star Goodness: Jill Hennessy’s Role Revealed on CBS’ Bull
I have to admit something. I was a bit skeptical about last week’s episode of CBS’ Bull. So it took me a while to watch it. It was called “Jury Duty” and one of the storylines featured Dr. Jason Bull actually serving jury duty. I just didn’t see how any…

Bull is Both Giver and Gainer in “A Business of Favors”

Bull Looks for the Cognitively Agile in “Already Gone”

Bull Hates Lawyers at a Whole New Level in “Bring It On”
We have learned many things about our good doctor over this premiere season. He plays to win, can’t stand losing. He likes to play dress up and lives to fool with expectations. He’s usually hungry. But, most of all, he hates lawyers. So what is the triple-doctorated psychologist to do…
The Psychology of Fashion is Deadly in Bull, “Dressed to Kill”

In Bull, We Trust When Playing the “Name Game”
It’s the common nightmare of the modern world: the stock scam. The irresistible chance to invest in high-yield, fast returns.
