Guilty pleasure
I worked late, fed the cats, and now I'm snacking on the remains of lukewarm chicken soup from lunch. Paul won't be home for a while yet, so I'm going to watch a Columbo mystery, circa 1974.
Please tell me I'm not the only person who watches legal fluff on TV. In junior high, I went to a writing competition and penned an essay on how I wanted to be a lawyer when I grew up. Then I realized Matlock wasn't a very good representation of the way the courtroom really worked, so I gave up my legal dreams.
But, in a strange twist of fate, I won an award for that junior high essay, thus propelling me into journalism. Guess I can thank TV legal fluff for inspiring my career, eh?

I love legal fluff TV shows!
I'm a sucker for Ironside repeats.
I'm more of a cop show guy than a legal guy. Always prefered the cop side of law and order to the courtroom side. I'm also excited that the first season of Riptide is coming out soon. The 70s and 80s were a golden age of private- eye television: Simon & Simon, Magnum, P.I., Matt Houston...
fiction can, and does inspire real-life ;)
