Want quirky? 'The Finder' discovers it

Walter can pretty much find anything, which is why people who have lost stuff -- or other people -- come down that long dirt road to Ends of the Earth. He lives there with his closest pal and legal adviser, Leo Knox (Michael Clarke Duncan), and Willa (Maddie Hasson), a teen waif who has a long record. Leo and Walter are her semilegal guardians. In tonight's episode, Someone wants Walter to find his pilot father, lost somewhere over the vast expanse of Florida's swamps.

And, oh yes, we've also seen "quirky" characters before whose personalities are some variation of Asperger's blessed with powers of superhuman insight, most notably Emily Deschanel's "Bones" Brennan. So that leaves us with . . . likable. Stults ("7th Heaven") is one of those solid meat-and-potatoes TV actors who kick around until they finally land somewhere that exactly fits their personality -- like this show, come to think of it. All-pro character actor Duncan ("The Green Mile") is good in everything he appears in. Together, they make "The Finder" work.
