Boston Legal: Do Tell

I'm not sure how the rest of the board sees or views this show but after tonight's episode, I'm reminded why it's one of the most genius programs on the air. The writing on this show is beautiful and it's delivered magnificently by the well portrayed characters. I never though Shatner could be this amazing.

This episode touched a lot of personal issues and subjects that i feel strongly about and they represented them passionately and inspiring like. Week after week this show continues to impress me and even with the new seasonal cast additions, I feel this show is one of the best ABC ever crafted.

I'm watchin' Wonderfalls on DVD. Third disc, episodes 9-13.
Possibly one of my favorite shows of all time. Sarcastic, full of twists, and better than Dead Like Me.

As for Boston Legal, I can't seem to get over the blatant misuse of law, the sexual harassment, and the general tone against women. At first I thought it was something that would be taken down in a future episode, but that episode never came.
It's really not okay!

It's not just a depiction of women, it's also a depiction of men or more accurately, the main men. They are sexaholics and it's not really an insult towards women and if it is then it is just as easily an insult to how these men behave. I don't think you should take the show to heart.

They tackle super serious subjects from racism, homosexuality, Scientology, religion and countless other issues with amazing depth. This show moves me on subjects and issues I never took personally or into deep thought until seeing how magnificently this show presents them.

See, now you're being sexist against men. Not all men are sex hungry maniacs. Hell, MOST men aren't. The problem with their actions, and why it's insulting, is because they never get any sort of karma. No retribution for their actions.
Every show hoping for ratings is going to tackle 'super serious' issues. Hell, by your standards, South Park is on the same level. They've hit every topic you've named, and then more.
If you weren't affected by these things before, be it in school, or in general life, then you HAVE to be blind.
I'm sorry, just standing up for my opinions.
Is that alright?

But, we'll never see eye to eye on this.
Which is okay.

Drawn Together

I know a lot of people hate offensive humor and find such things as swearing, racism, and sexist jokes not to be funny. However I honestly can't say I didn't enjoy watching this show, I did and it was BEYOND freaking funny.

I don't approve of their views obviously but its so incredibly offensive to everyone and everything, I can't help but laugh. Sometimes I like a little bad taste in humor and this show is as offensive as it can get and I STILL love it.

Fairly OddParents

Sat and watched a bunch of episodes that I haven't seen in quite a while. It's one of my favorite series after all (though FHFIF rankas higher to me) for it's stupid humor <3

Scrubs

It has been a while since I actually sat down and watch Scrubs outside of reruns on Comedy central. I am happy to say though I am very glad I did watch it this time because I LOVED IT!

The episode was funny and serious at the same time, I was really impressed at how well they mixed the whole JD/Elliot marital problems with the comedic nature of the show. I am kind of sad this is the shows final season though.

Yet, I feel Scrubs has done an amazing job on the air over these years and I honestly feel that this show has run its course as much as I love it.
