On the bright side, if you do hate it, I will get the benefit of reading a blogpost here about your perceptions, and I will be educated.<br /><br />:)KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794676685036206776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-41101108583643143342010-02-28T23:05:31.367-05:002010-02-28T23:05:31.367-05:00I had no idea there was an Asperger's characte...I had no idea there was an Asperger's character on that show.

But it kept coinciding with Law and Order and I don't like it that much. :-)<br /><br />Law and Order is very different from CSI in that the second part of the show is dedicated to the trial. You get to learn a lot about the US legal system. The show is also based on real cases that made the headlines at the time it was filmed, so it sounds very relevant.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-39906775459479532822010-02-28T13:24:46.731-05:002010-02-28T13:24:46.731-05:00My favourite TV show was Boston Legal on ABC befor...My favourite TV show was Boston Legal on ABC before it was eventually cancelled. I have not seen Law and Order but I've heard so many friends talk about it. Is it like CSI? Maybe I'll get it.<br /><br />But if you can get Boston Legal (Seasons 1-5), do so. It is the frankest tv series I've seen that explores all areas of human endeavour from friendship, dating, homosexuality, abortion, women's rights to the legal system, politics, fishing, Canada and a whole lot more. Watch out for spectacular performances by Canadian William Shatner and Boston actor James Spader. I love it.KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794676685036206776noreply@blogger.com
