LEGALLY MAD!!

Sick of shows about doctors and lawyers and cops. by Rev. Slappy	May 12th, 2009 01:07:03 AM
Am I alone in this?
Good news; Kelley is past it by bravogolfhotel	May 12th, 2009 01:18:00 AM
Another show about the seriocomic adventures of a group of Brilliant But Unconventional Lawyers? Oy gevalt. Kelley's actually pretty talented; here's hoping he takes the setback as an indication that he needs to come up with something slightly fresher.
If we never have another lawyer show... by fiester	May 12th, 2009 01:24:05 AM
I would be so damned happy.
capitol B to the capitol S by skaul80	May 12th, 2009 02:12:18 AM
boston legal is one of my all time favorite shows. overall, i enjoy his other shows. i can only assume that his next show would be somewhat on par. i'd even settle for a subpar BL.

Now that would have had a chance.
jere's a great title for a legality-based series by ciroslive	May 12th, 2009 03:34:06 AM
BARELY LEGAL. You're welcome, network TV!
This is good for Chuck by Bramton1	May 12th, 2009 03:49:38 AM
Suppposedly, Legally Mad had a $2 million penalty attached if NBC didn't pick it up. Since it's a WB show, just like Chuck, NBC wanted to tie a renewal of Chuck into waiving the penalty. Wonder if it worked...
What? by The McPoyle Clan	May 12th, 2009 04:11:50 AM
No more stale shows about quirky professionals on TV? Unthinkable.
Wasn't he behind Life On Mars remake? by V'Shael	May 12th, 2009 04:46:06 AM
Wasn't there some deal where they HAD to make a 5th season of Boston Legal, in order to get him to do Life On Mars?
No more James Spader winning Emmy's he doesn't deserve? by nalapou	May 12th, 2009 05:15:10 AM
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet
Speaking of being dragged into the 21st century ... by VoldemortWearsPrada	May 12th, 2009 06:27:56 AM
... when is Variety going to give up on its skein/laffer/perf etc etc BS? It might be a Depression, but it's not 1931 people.
Thanks Jay Leno... by DeafPoet	May 12th, 2009 06:46:42 AM
Enjoy your five fucking hours of prime time, you fucking hack.
One less show about lawyers is a good thing! by darthsynn	May 12th, 2009 06:54:30 AM
Now if they could just do something about the cops and doctors.
Smell that shoe! by hebrokeaway	May 12th, 2009 08:33:43 AM
The first season of Boston Public was terrific.
Good! More room for LOST AND FOUND? by Jardinier	May 12th, 2009 09:01:38 AM
Why haven't we heard anything about that pilot yet? I'm actually not all that interested in yet another cop show, but I watch CASTLE solely because of Filion, and I can fathom watching L&F solely because of Katee Sackhoff. I never really pegged her for a great actress before this year, but her work in the final episodes of BSG impressed me.
yawn by Mockingbird Girl	May 12th, 2009 09:31:42 AM
More complaints about lawyer shows from people whose remote controls apparently don't work???
David E. Kelley is a hack by Jor-El23	May 12th, 2009 10:42:08 AM
How many f'ing legal dramas do you need?
I like David and I really like Kristen however this is.... by HollywoodHellraiser	May 12th, 2009 11:52:32 AM
GOOD NEWS!!! Finally a good reason to celeb NBC being in last place!
KRISTEN, DARLIN', PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... by Shermdawg	May 12th, 2009 01:31:49 PM
...DON'T LET FULLER SWEET TALK YOU INTO A HEROES ROLE AS RESULT OF YOUR SHOW NOT HAPPENIN', YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR THAT CRAP!!!
God I miss Pushing Daisies. by Shermdawg	May 12th, 2009 01:33:37 PM

Katee Sackhoff's NBC cop drama was also kiboshed... by PennsyDeux	May 12th, 2009 02:20:53 PM
'Lost and Found', along with Lauren Graham's ABC pilot, The Bridget Show. Details here: http://tinyurl.com/pwjwem
Pity. by Jardinier	May 12th, 2009 02:33:32 PM
Well, maybe she'll move on to bigger and better things. Have cancelled pilots ever been leaked online? Would have been interesting to see what the show was like.
whatever by simondark	May 12th, 2009 03:19:26 PM
happened to that teachers show that was made by the scrubs people...that show was almost funny...
HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD! by HellKing	May 12th, 2009 04:10:54 PM
Finally someone gets that David E. Kelley's shows are repetitive crap. How many times can we see the same weirdo lawyers doing their crazy antics? His shows are an example of a bunch of Hollywood yes men not telling David E. Kelley how horrible his shows are. I guess they all got fired from this global financial meltdown.
Kelley's gonna write a show about a show that's not picked up! by MrMysteryGuest	May 12th, 2009 05:51:53 PM

Party Down renewed! HELL TO THE FUCKING YEAH! by PennsyDeux	May 12th, 2009 06:50:19 PM
http://tinyurl.com/pb32gn. Congratulations to the cast and crew of one of TV's best shows you're not watching. :D
take a season off, reflect, and come up with a new idea by johnnysunshine	May 12th, 2009 08:40:54 PM
I've enjoyed some of Kelly's shows, but he's completely exhausted his one tv show idea. He shouldn't be sad - he had a great run, but it's time to come up with a new concept. Hell, it can even still be a dramedy, just set it somewhere else at least.
finally good NBC news by walrusholder	May 12th, 2009 08:55:50 PM
now maybe they'll fire those two dumb asses on Law and Order, or better yet cancel that show, let it die with some dignity
THANK GOD!!! by lockesbrokenleg	May 13th, 2009 02:52:29 AM
This means no EW ass kissing, and no media hype about him leaving when the show goes sucky.
Jardinier : Pilots being leaked? by V'Shael	May 13th, 2009 03:04:32 AM
Sometimes, they make it out. I remember seeing the Global Frequency pilot with Michelle Forbes a few years ago. Quite true to the source material, and for my money, a damn good pilot. Shame it never got picked up. And then there was the Life On Mars pilot that leaked last year. If you haven't seen it, it was basically the same as the one that aired, except with some roles recast (e.g. Gene Hunt played by Colm Meany, who looked like he was trying to do an impersonation of Phil Glenister.)
Poor Itty Bitty.... by Zardozap2005	May 13th, 2009 06:26:47 AM
Now I can't oogle her cute rack each week. DAMN!
I liked Boston Public by hatemphd	May 13th, 2009 07:17:45 AM
and It didn't have lawyers in it.(kind) Too bad it got canceled. I stopped watching Boston Legal when it became a pure comedy between season 1 and 2. I wanted borderline-evil Spader from The Practice, not the over-the-top witty Spader from Legal
Thank Fuck by Cory849	May 13th, 2009 09:52:54 AM
I used to be a big David E. Kelly fan but so sick of him now... Time for a break, DK.
I'm loving all this kiboshing. by kabong	May 13th, 2009 11:36:38 AM
Kibosh some more.
@V'Shael by Jardinier	May 14th, 2009 09:54:21 AM
I saw the LoM pilot. I always assumed it was leaked from a screener sent to critics, since ABC had already picked up the series and maybe wanted to build some critical buzz (à la "the concept is intriguing, but the execution fails; however, we've been told that that aspect is being reworked"). But if all there was for L&F were internal screenings, then there's no-one to leak the pilot.
