My thoughts are based solely on the content of the show and have nothing to do with the actors or their acting ability. It reminds me of a saying I heard years ago..."People doing the best possible job with the worst possible material." The show consistently portrays women as weak and that they need a man to be "okay" in life. The chauvinistic attitudes of the men toward the females on the show regardless of whether they are attorneys at the firm, clients, or simple passersby is extremely insulting, I cannot believe it had the popularity that it did.
I did not watch it when it aired originally. It never even caught my eye back then. Recently I was browsing through some titles and started watching it. Being fair minded (& a little OCD) and not wanting to judge it on just a few episodes, so I am up to episode 87 out of 100. I originally hoped it would redeem itself somehow but at this point I have given up that hope.
I simply cannot figure out why it was such a high rated show. I know times have changed but it is hard for me to believe that women thought it was entertaining to see themselves portrayed in this way.
