Subject: David E. Kelly
When precicely did he go from brilliant to sucking big lolly-pops?
Subject: Re: David E. Kelly
I thought it was when he introduced the onslaught of new characters this season on "Ally," which forced me to drop the show from my viewing schedule...
"BP" is decent...hook-lady storyline doesn't need to take up so much of the show...
Was on the edge of my seat the last few minutes of Sunday's "Practice." That show is still enjoyable...

The man apparently has too much on his plate, just like Joss Whedon with the "Buffy/Angel/Giles" series. It's what caused the creative downfall of Steven Bochco and the "Happy Days/Laverne and Shirley" creators. :(

I never got into the Practice, Sunday's I spend watching Fox usually..
Boston Public, I stopped watching for the most part last season. The plots are just too ridiculous and unbelievable for a drama-like show. I have a hard time believing anything that goes on during that show.. the whole hook lady thing was the clincher
Ally.. I still watch.. they've dropped as many characters as they have added (Ling is pretty much gone, the blond lawyer is not really used, Ally's roomate is long gone, Billy's wife is long gone, the secretary (Christine?) is not really used, etc)... I really miss Tracey Ullman as her shrink.. Jon Bon Jovi has some potential as a potential boyfriend, but somehow I think it's just not going to be as interesting as possible...

Robert Downey Jr. couldn't beat his drug addiction and had to be done-away-with, so Jon Bon Jovi is supposed to "save" the show to some degree. I think they should just quit while they're ahead. Nothing against Jon Bon Jovi, but he's not a very experienced actor and it seems desperate of the show to use him.

The Practice is the best show you'll watch on TV nowadays. Check the progressive & spiritual approach in Alan Shore and how he's only doing all this to help that firm think outside of its box, and evolve.
Its genius and desperatly needed nowadays... If only I can learn how they put their ideas out like that...
