Amen. When I first saw this show advertised my first comment to my family was, “I’m so glad that NBC is doing something about the shortage of programs about crusading leftist lawyers.”
Look for this show to follow ‘Outlaw’ into the dustbin in a couple weeks.

Somehow, I just assumed it would make it for a whole season, but now that you prompted me think about it, you might be right: it might not last a season.
And it’s not just liberal claptrap the alphabet networks produce as “entertainment”, it’s just that almost everything they do is plain ordinary claptrap across the board.
On the other hand, HBO, Showtime, USA Network, A&E, and others are now beginning to produce more and more original and interesting shows, with some channels approaching a full prime-time lineup.
And yet, even with their audiences withering away as they desert the alphabets for channels with wittier and more interesting programming, the alphabets persist with their lame, insipid, stupid, mindless, claptrap shows. What I don’t really understand is why the alphabets produce such shows. The alphabets only have to look at the programs on those other channels to know what to do. They have barrels of money to throw at talent. Why don’t they improve? Does management mettle so much with those who create that creativity is totally stifled? Does management think their current programming is good? Are they still making enough profits that there is no impetus to change and they’re perfectly willing to ride a slowly sinking ship to the bottom? Is management so ossified that it is impossible to change, even with new management? I’d like to hear some opinions.
