The Practice changed from smart sleazy lawyers to not-so-smart sleazy lawyers & now it's a different firm of crooks & crazies.
Can't anyone on E.R. have a good reasonably sane love relationship? The secondary characters always made this show for me. But Carter's delightful "gamma" is dead. Romano's become a character from a horror movie; about the only humanity he ever showed was when Lucy croaked on his operating table, & now he's a demented amputee. Like the final seasons of M.A.S.H. the years of spurting blood & pointless violence have clearly driven these folks insane - I mean the writers.
NYPD Blue. Still a good program, & they aren't even solving all the cases in an hour. The women cops are sexy & tough, the men cops never recite Miranda, & the meaningful glances move things along. & guess who's pregnant? It's like Kojak with each character assuming one or two of the complex genius detective's personality components.
Miami CSI: Horatio is ace. The District: suitably corny saturday night replacement for Walker Texas Ranger, & every character is eccentric, just like in Craig T. Nelson's Coach. & Elizabeth Marvel (who's played an over-the-top Lady Macbeth on stage) can handcuff & interrogate me whenever she wants. But she has to wear the uniform.
