Kathy Bates new show last night.

[rwork]

During a trial debate with the prosecuting attorney she mentioned her client on trial for 3rd time drug possession is facing 5 years in prison.

While people like Rush Limbaugh can get away with it.

New show seems pretty good.

6. you could get killed jaywalking

unless there was a mattress nearby, even if it was not named Zem.

(note, this attempt at a joke would be funnier if you saw the show)

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Yes that scene was hilarious.

[annabanana]

32. I enjoyed it. It's got a quirky thing that makes me laugh. ... . . . n/t

[Obamanaut]

22. It somehow seems odd to be insulting, and then say you don't mean to be insulting. nt

[Michigan-Arizona]

2. What's the name of her show? Thank you n/t

[Grey]

3. Harry's Law nt

[WhiteTara]

8. Harry's Law

I like the show too. I think it will become very good in short order.

[Little Star]

4. Have it recorded to watch at my convenience. It looked

like it may be a keeper.

[True_Blue]

5. I loved the show!

She's a great actress. I've always been a fan of hers.

[hfojvt]

7. I never heard of her before the show

What else has she been in?

[Kadie]

9. look here...

Misery and Fried Green Tomatoes are what I usually think of first...

[blondeatlast]

30. Misery ranks right up there with Psycho as one of the indelibly creepiest movies ever.

Loved the book too--but the movie was actually even better.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. That wonderful movie with James Cahn

[Obamanaut]

25. My favorite is "Primary Colors" nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Yes that was great also

[femrap]

10. I liked it...

David Kelley does good stuff....he agrees w/ my politics. And I'm refreshed to see an older woman who isn't skinny as a lead in a TV series. And her associate seems fun and crazy. And I like shoes....but only those made in Italy, Brazil or Spain.

[Control-Z]

11. Darn. I missed it.

I saw the ads and thought it looked like something I might like (I love Kathy Bates). I'll have to set up to record future shows, otherwise I'll never get around to it. It takes me forever to catch on to good programming. I never even watched a single episode of West Wing (one of my all time favorites) until after the show was canceled. I've watched it all on DVD.

[onecent]

12. It will rerun 1:00 AM this Saturday USA channel n/t

[Control-Z]

28. Hey, thanks!

Now I just need to figure out what channel number USA is on Dish Network. I think it's in the mid-hundreds somewhere.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Here - you can watch it online:

[Control-Z]

31. Wow. Even better.

onecent tells me it is re-running on USA, Saturday. Leave it to DUers to just up and help out. Thanks so much.

[Control-Z]

34. Just watched it.

I really liked it, even more than expected. There are so few shows I find worth watching. I hope they keep this one going for a while.

Thanks again!

[OregonBlue]

13. It was a little preachy and a little idealistic but I loved the ideal. Think it will be very good.

[Luminous Animal]

14. It was lame.

Another white person in the hood to save black & brown people from themselves.

(Make that 3 white people... one who is selling Prada in the middle of the ghetto.)

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. The line about Limbaugh made it worth watching for me.

[cliffordu]

27. I thought that, too....

[Luminous Animal]

35. It was interesting that the only white "customer" walking through that door

was a woman buying $500+ shoes. And we are supposed to suspend belief that that white woman would drive to that neighborhood (vividly illustrated earlier in the show) with black men pissing on sides of building, scantily clad black female prostitutes, and black men openly dealing drugs.

[cliffordu]

36. Yep. Weird.

And, I hate to say it, but patently offensive.

[mrfrapp]

15. Sounds Terrific

I love a good courtroom drama so this should be right up my street.

The jury's still out though on "The Whole Truth", another courtroom drama. Does anyone know if it's been cancelled? Sure, some of the stories were a little contrived but the structure of the show was interesting and showed promise.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. I thought it was wonderful

David E Kelley has another hit on his hands.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. You can watch it online at this link:

[Greybnk48]

23. It is a winner. She said Limbaugh is a drug addict

but he's not treated the same as a poor person (her character did not play the race card, rather the two-tiered legal system card that treats the rich differently from the poor). It was awesome!!

[southernyankeebelle]

24. Love anything Kathy Bates is in. I made it a point to watch the show. It was really good.

[Iris]

29. Loved it!

Almost felt a little inspired by it.

[Urban Prairie]

33. Yup...Ms. Bates' (Harriet Korn) comment about Rush on its first episode, made my day

err...I mean night..heh!!

Hope that there is more damning dialog during future episodes to come regarding conservative crybabies (Boehner, Dreck) windbags (Limbaugh,Hannity,O'Really ) and sadistic shrews (Malkin, Palin, Bachmann Ghoulter) ect..

[outerSanctum]

37. Oh God! Anybody see About Schmidt?

The nude scene with that fat thing STILL gives me nightmares!

[Enthusiast]

42. She looked much better than

I anticipated. Not that I gave it much thought beforehand, lol.

[Le Taz Hot]

38. I missed it and I LOVE Kathy Bates.

I'll TRY to remember next week.

[a kennedy]

39. wow, I must have been watching a completely different show...

I thought it was terrible....love Kathy Bates, but this is just a sham. Ugh.

[Enthusiast]

40. We liked it. nt

[peekaloo]

41. just curious but "asshole" is now accepted on network tee vee.

and no I'm not referring to Kelsey Grammer...:P

btw I larfed...not as high octane as 'Boston Legal' but it was okay.
