Harry's Law was Fun to watch & very interesting because the office was in a 'High End' shoe store rather than just some stuffy old office & the staff were 'colourful' & all had ' hearts & experience ' to solve some pretty 'meaningful' cases rather than just same ole corporate stuff. Please bring back Harry's Law!! I very much enjoyed watching all the cases as many of them were very challenging & usually did not fall into the usual typical court cases, such as the ' Bullying' case where a teenage girl was being accused of murder after posting things on Facebook that caused another girl to hang herself, this is a very important issue today & this show gave a very good example of what can happen in that KIND OF SITUATION IT IS AN EVERYDAY ISSUE!

We know from the history of TV that lawyer shows (e.g. Perry Mason) started out all pretty serious. But we the fan base soon get tired of "serious." It is too much like our daily lives and we want to be entertained.In more recent history, lawyer shows (e.g. LA Law, Ally McBeal, etc) became less serious, more quirky and we enjoyed them more. That's entertainment.So now Kathy Bates comes along as Harriet Korn, nicknamed "Harry", and we instantly like her. A lady named Harry. But it doesn't stop there, as Bates is one of the best actresses in modern times. Every movie role she has been in has been memorable. So we would expect her TV role to be just as memorable.The TV series is well-written, and gives Bates plenty of room to act the tough, probing attorney. We watch it every week, always something special. Christopher McDonald is part of the regular cast and he is a hoot as lawyer Tommy Jefferson who isn't afraid to tackle any case and is likely to find a way to win it.

The changes to Harry's Law from season 1 to season 2, changing from an original, clever show to another run-of-the-mill law show, is a shame. Kathy Bates has gone from a quirky store front lawyer in the ghetto handling unique cases to just one of a number of lawyers in what could be any big time law firm.Gone are two original characters (both black) replaced by Mark Valley (Really??!!) and some yuppie black female. This debacle has network executive hands all over it. A guy named Greenblatt took over NBC this year and no doubt thinks he's going to be the genius who saves NBC. And seems to think he's better at creating a show than David E. Kelly. What a shame to lose such a unique program. I'm done after watching the opening 4 episode story with a totally unbelievable character played by Jean Smart and has Harry defending a very rich white guy. Who cares?

Kathy Bates, is back... Wow this first episode had me in tears with the amount of truth passion and honesty in its delivery. The notion that you would even dare to put on another Legal drama on New Zealand TV is preposterous but Harry's Law, really works I know it's only viewed as a TV show but ya know what? This has just become my 'NEVER MISS' new show. The mix of rough off the street thugs seeking Legal Aid and the shoes "WHAT ABOUT THE SHOES" its way up there with all that is holly aka Prada.. Amen to the writers supporting actors and Kathy Bates you rule beyond rule.. 'SEX IN THE CITY' who??? Now I could go on line and watch the next episode, but I will wait the 7days just to savor tonight's viewing pleasure but honestly can't wait for next week. Thank you TVNZ and TV1
