Harry's Law: or Demographic Guilt
The David Kelley show, "Harry's Law," starring Kathy Bates, has been cancelled, in spite of its stellar ratings. One of NBC's highest rating programs (acc. to the Nielsen reports, which I am teaching myself about through wikipedia), it has never done well enough with the 18-49 y.o. demographic. Nuts! It's all about the Benjamins I guess.
A personal "sorry" to David Kelley -- I grew up loving Ally McBeal and The Practice! And as a member of that 18-49 community, I send my condolescences and my apologies for never having watched Harry's Law. My mom says it's great.
In other news: who watches The Good Wife? Can you recommend it? I haven't watched it, but I have a sense that I'll be hooked if I let myself start watching it.

This is late to the game, but I watch the Good Wife and it's great-- highly recommended. Smart story lines, great characters, and some of my favorite actors. It's probably right on the edge between guilty and mid-brow pleasure.
