Storyline

This popular TV drama depicted life in a large Los Angeles law firm. The plots were strongly character-based and dealt with both the personal lives and professional activities of the partners, associates, and staff. Scenes centered around the courtroom and the law offices. Often, an episode would open with a surprising twist, which would then be played out during the rest of the show. Written by Tad Dibbern <DIBBERN_D@a1.mscf.upenn.edu>

Trivia

The license plate in the beginning of the opening credits was during the first seven seasons mounted on the rear of a Jaguar, but for the final season it changed to being mounted on a Bentley Continental R - a car which was mentioned in several episodes of the eighth season when Arnie Becker was thinking of buying one. He finally received one as a gift in episode 3 of the same season. See more »

Quotes

Douglas Brackman, Jr.: I'm more like my father than I thought. I wanted to be the lawyer he was, the man he was. Turns out we both just like to cheat on our wives.

Great few seasons then downhill
15 November 2001 | by See all my reviews

This show concerning the lives of lawyers at an LA law firm was a breakout hit during its first season for its well written plots and great characters. This of course was because of some incredible writers and great actors. However as the show entered about it's sixth season the best writers and actors began to leave en masse the plotlines fell apart and the show became much more stale. Avoid this period if you can.
