And, I really am hoping!!!<\/p>\n<p>I have already added <em>Harry&#8217;s Law<\/em> to my television queue&#8230; This is a case of sight unseen, but, being a huge Kathy Bates fan, I doubt I am going wrong on this one! From <em>Misery<\/em>, to <em>Fried Green Tomatoes<\/em>, <em>Dolores Claiborne<\/em>, <em>Primary Colors, <\/em>to&#8230; well, the list of Kathy Bates movies goes on and on, and on some more!<\/p>\n<p>This coming Monday, Kathy Bates will be adding being the star of a television show to her repertoire, and I am so anxiously waiting to see what she does with her prime time show\u00a0on NBC, that I have (quite literally) already \u00a0programmed our two modes of taping off of the television.<\/p>\n<p>This Monday night, Kathy Bates (along with\u00a0Brittany Snow, Nate Corddry, and Aml Ameen) will be starring in <em>Harry&#8217;s Law<\/em>, the newest &#8220;lawyer&#8221; show that I know about. But, there is a twist on this one: Harry isn&#8217;t a brilliant lawyer working in a gorgeous-looking building with even more gorgeous-looking attorneys. Harry (Harriet Korn) is a patent lawyer who, upon being fired from her job,\u00a0sets up her own law practice on a shoestring&#8230; actually, in an old shoe store.<\/p>\n<p><em>Harry&#8217;s Law<\/em> has David E. Kelly at the helm (behind the scenes), which is quite promising. HOWEVER&gt;&gt;&gt; There is one very<strong> UN<\/strong>promising thing!!! NBC has deemed it their responsibility to put<strong> Harry&#8217;s Law<\/strong> up against an already-established, and very popular &#8220;cop show&#8221;&gt;&gt;&gt; That&#8217;s right! Think about your already established Monday night television viewing&#8230; and, if you&#8217;re anything\u00a0like me, there is only one show on Monday nights (now that <em>The Closer<\/em> is on hiatus!) <em>Harry&#8217;s Law<\/em> will be taking on <em>Castle<\/em>&#8230; (As if there aren&#8217;t other hour slots on Monday night NBC could have programmed this new show into!)<\/p>\n<p>PS&gt;&gt;&gt; Having watched the first two episodes of <em>Harry&#8217;s Law<\/em>, I have taken it off of our SageTV taping queue. I simply couldn&#8217;t not get over all of\u00a0the &#8220;sermonizing&#8221; NOR the totally absurd lawyers&#8217; arguments in front of both the judges and the juries. I realize that this is only\u00a0a television show, but come on! As for a lawyer telling a jury that she only wants\/needs one person to vote not guilty, so that her cocaine addict gets a chance to go to college&#8230; Is that even legal?!? And, if it isn&#8217;t, why don&#8217;t they have a consulting lawyer on the production set?!?<\/p>\n<p>At least I won&#8217;t have a problem picking between <em>Castle<\/em> and <em>Harry&#8217;s Law<\/em>. As much as I enjoy Kathy Bates, this is a no-brainer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s hoping!!! And, I really am hoping!!!
