"I'm actually shocked that Harry's Law got picked up for a second season. Previews made it look like an old fat lady version of Franklin and Bash."

oh it's much worse than Franklin and Bash...Kathy Bates runs a law firm/designer shoe store in the ghetto of Cincinnati. Old people ate that shit up.

I watched two or three episodes of Harry's Law. It really wasn't that bad.

"Kathy Bates plays Harry, an esteemed patent lawyer who has a late-life crisis and decides to open up a storefront law firm in the slums of Cincinnati - which, as conceived by Kelley and as shot on a studio backlot, are like a brightly-lit cartoon parody of someone's idea of ghetto life from the 1970's. (The show even features a cover of the theme to "The Jeffersons" as one character moves in.) So Harry and Jenna set up shop in a former shoe store that somehow randomly still has an impressive collection of designer stilettos, and Jenna resolves to sell the inventory (and then acquire more to sell) in her spare time. We're introduced to the thug who runs the local protection racket, who at first is written as a parody of a parody of a blaxploitation character, and who then turns on a dime and is revealed to be a proud community servant of some sort, which winds up seeming only slightly less ridiculous than the assortment of Manolos left behind in this ghetto shoe store. And then Harry goes to court. Hoo boy. David E Kelley continues the approach he adopted sometime in the "Boston Legal" run, in which the courtroom scenes don't even bother trying to resemble either an actual courtroom or a TV version of a courtroom, but in which his main character is simply allowed to stand up and speechify on whatever hot-button issue Kelley has an opinion on that week"
