at depicting legal stuff. But I guess that isn't saying much.

I remember watching that show with my dad, who was a lawyer, and he'd be yelling at the TV stuff like, "No, that's all wrong! That would never happen!"

Re-watched it a while ago and had to laugh at the size of the women’s shoulder pads. Another great one is St. Elsewhere.

Well, up until the finale, anyway. I had started a new job just two days before the final ep aired. I went to work the next day and was frustrated because no one else but me had seen it. A girl I hardly knew took pity on me and allowed me to vent to her about it in the office cafeteria. She received a detailed encapsulation of the entire series

I remember it being some highpoint when a despised character fell down an elevator shaft

The quality seemed to decline and I gave up after a while. It apparently ran for eight seasons, but I probably didn't see it past the fourth or fifth season. For a time though, it was appointment television.

He changed television for the better. You can see his influence in almost every TV show today. I've been a fan since "Hill Street Blues."

However, let's not talk about "Cop Rock." LOL! No one us perfect.

I had a little crush on that one woman lawyer (can't remember her name) who was part of the husband and wife team.
