    An actually feel-good show that isn't terribly trite and cheesy. This show manages just to make me smile and still want to watch, and that's something special in our tv landscape. It just makes you feel good.

    Maybe I could enjoy this show if the dialogue weren't so hacky.

  1. In this warm, charming episode, the underappreciated legal show proves it's still fit to practice.
  2. A show with such a weird mix of tones and subject matters needs a strong cast to even have a hope of working, and for the most part, the ensemble remains sturdy.

    Interesting detours, and a worthy show--but at times just a smidgen too self-righteous and melodramatic.
