Luckily for Ryan and I, the television series, "Dallas" didn't ruin our lives, considering it was 13 seasons long! But then again, neither did "North and South", "Star Trek Voyager", "Dexter", "Queer As Folk", "Boston Legal" or "Mad Men". And two of these shows are still running.
But "Battlestar Galactica"on the other hand... That's a whole different ball game! I think if Ryan and I were to sit down and watch the first season, we'd lose our jobs, our utilities, and our home. We wouldn't be able to stop watching it from what I've heard.
Check out this hilarious take on what would happen to you if you started watching the series.
If you were to ask me which show in the last 5 years I missed the most, I would tell you 'Boston Legal.' The show was created by one of the best American screenwriters and television producers this country has ever known, David E. Kelley.
Ryan and I watched every episode, and over the past several months purchased all 5 seasons on DVD. Ironically enough, I have watched every show he's created.
Each show he's written and produced has won hundreds of awards, from Emmy's to Oscar's, Golden Globes to Peabody awards, this man has won them all.
Unbeknown to me, Kelley created a show right under my nose, without me even hearing about it, reading about it, or watching a trailer about it.
"Kelley weaves his rich storytelling into a new legal dramedy starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates in the title role - about how people can embrace the unexpected and other curveballs that life can throw at them.
Harriet "Harry" Korn (Kathy Bates) doesn't believe things happen for a reason, but she discovers that they sometimes do. A curmudgeonly ex-patent lawyer, Harry is abruptly fired from her blue chip law firm, forcing her to search for a fresh start. She finds it when her world unexpectedly collides, literally, with Malcolm Davies, a kind-hearted college student who desperately needs Harry's help with his pending court case, and he subsequently goes to work for her.
Harry soon finds her balance as well as new offices in an abandoned shoe store just as legal hotshot Adam Branch accidentally hits her while driving. Inspired by Harry's no-nonsense understanding of the law, Adam decides to take leave of his shiny corporate firm to go and work with her. Harry, Adam and Malcolm - unlikely but kindred spirits - along with the help of Harry's shoe-savant assistant, Jenna, are now ready for whatever walks in through the doors of their unique establishment - Harriet's Law and Fine Shoes.
I have included a few short clips of the first 4 episodes and I'm so drawn to this already. If I can't convince Ryan to watch this with me, then I'm alone on the net. The show definitely reminds me of David E. Kelley's, Boston Legal, with the possibility of it being greater.
