Storyline
This popular television drama depicted life in a large Los Angeles law firm. The plots were strongly character-based and dealt with the personal lives and professional activities of the partners, associates, and staff. Scenes centered around the courtroom and the law offices. Often, an episode would open with a surprising twist, which would then be played out during the rest of the show. —Tad Dibbern <DIBBERN_D@a1.mscf.upenn.edu>

- TriviaSeries co-creator Terry Louise Fisher, former Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County, former entertainment lawyer for Twentieth Century Fox, and producer and writer for Cagney & Lacey (1981), composed a form letter she was thinking of sending to lawyers who complained about this show: "Dear So-and-so: If I were a good lawyer, I'd still be practicing law. Instead, I'm stuck in Hollywood, making ten times as much money. I hope you are as conscientious about your clients, as you are about our show. Thank you for your writing."

Good for Three Seasons
I used to watch this off and on back when it was originally on and recently started re-watching from the beginning. For three seasons, it was a great show; great people who created a family. They had their issues and problems but they always worked everything out in the end. Unfortunately, in Season 4 they introduced the character of Rosalind Shays and ruined it completely. All the continuity and camaraderie that made the show great was gone. Suddenly there was nothing but controversy, back-stabbing, manipulation, lying and it became increasingly uncomfortable to watch. I'm currently almost at the end of Season 4 and honestly doubt I will watch much more; it's just no fun anymore.
