I confess...I like Harry's Law

 Yes, I admit I like

I didn't think after seeing the previews for this show that I would ever like it...BUT there was a rerun on Bravo and I figured ah what the heck, I'll check it out. Turns out, it's not bad. It combines drama with humor...gotta love Kathy Bates. Obviously, her quick wit make the show. Plus, I love the fact that this show combines two things that I enjoy - the law & shoes! :-) Within the first five minutes of the show, Kathy Bates' character is landed on by a guy trying to kill himself and hit by a car without any life threatening injuries. These two unexpected events lead her to open her own firm, in the hood, in a location that use to be a designer shoe store (the owner was evicted and the whole stock of shoes is still in the building). The cast of characters is a little unconventional and it really is an overdramatized version of what would actually happen in a criminal court (or rather what would never be allowed to happen). BUT I think that is really what makes it a sharp contrast to the other legal shows out there. It adds a little optimism to the legal system and possibly how we wish the justice system would be. If you are looking for something that is still legal but not really as serious as Law & Order, than I highly encourage that you check this show out because we could all use a little less drama in our lives. It comes on NBC Mondays @ 10pm.
