2. Ally McBeal: This is a Netflix guilty pleasure. It's a very odd show, featuring a very odd girl who always gets into some sort of trouble, but at the end of the day it usually ends up okay. Featuring great 90s outfits and life lessons at the end of each episode, this is an entertaining show.
3. Franklin and Bash: This is what my brother always suggests as a role model for my future legal career...not so much. But, the show is hilarious and clever, although slightly far-fetched with how much they get away with being idiots, funny idiots, but idiots in the courtroom.
4. Jag: A military law show that had me at one point seriously considering military law. . . until my 10-year-old self realized you had to actually join the military too. Great show with great characters and plot twists. If only THIS show were on Netflix. Caroline McKenzie was my hero (gotta love a strong female lead), and Harm might have been my first crush.
5. Matlock: Throwback to my TV land and Hallmark days with my grandma. This is classic TV at its finest.
6. Fairly Legal: This show features a strong female lead and shows an alternate way of looking at law. She works as a mediator to try and resolve conflict for both sides. She is a realistic character, with many flaws, but overall the show was fun to watch. Sadly, not many other people thought so as it was cancelled after only 2 seasons.
7. Suits: I've only just started watching this (also courtesy of Netflix), but it's very interesting. The guy on the left is incredibly smart, and ends up lying his way up the legal ladder. It's very interesting and the quick-wit of the show always keeps you on your toes.
Let me know if you have seen any of these, and if so what is your favorite?
I don't think I've ever seen any of these--I feel like such a loser! Does Blue Bloods count? Maybe not, it's more of a cop show, but there are several legal aspects to it.
ReplyDelete"...one thing you can always count on in this fickle world is that somewhere, on some channel, Law & Order re-runs will be playing." Haha! So true.
ReplyDeleteI lived in the backwoods country growing up, so we only got one fuzzy news channel on our TV. Whenever we went on vacation and stayed in a hotel, my dad would spend several hours in the evening watching Law & Order because it's the only time he ever got the chance to watch it... and because it's always on.
Law and Order is the best! A couple of summers ago, my cousin and I feel in love with the show and would spend all of our free time watching it. I haven't heard of any of the other shows.
ReplyDeleteI have never watched any of these (surprise, surprise!). I tend to lean toward more of the medical drama (ala House M.D.) or law enforcement drama (ala NCIS and NCIS, L.A.)/
ReplyDeleteI've seen Law and Order, but none of the others. I never knew there were so many legal shows!
ReplyDelete1) Yes, Law and Order is ALWAYS on. Only watched it a few times.
ReplyDelete2) I love JAG. Such a great show. I love the series finale where they flip the coin. Ha.
