I can't think of any show that has benefited from a lack of color more than The Addams Family, which ran on ABC from 1964 through 1966 - right on the cusp of the network's change from black & white to color. But what if the show came around a few years later, and was filmed in color? What would that look like, and how would it affect the look and feel of the macabre show? We've just been provided with a couple rare photographs that give us a little taste of a brightened up Addams Family!
Contrary to popular belief, the world wasn't colorless even when television sets were (... or so I've heard), and photographs from the collection of late freelance photographer Richard Fish have just recently surfaced that show us the Addams Family set as we've never seen it before. Gone are the muted and drab tones, replaced with vibrant colors...

Janet Carroll, the actress best known for playing Tom Cruise's crystal egg-obsessed mom in "Risky Business," died Tuesday in New York at age 71. Carroll's son told the Associated Press his mom died after a long, unspecified illness. Carroll, who began her career in theater, played Jim Dial's (Charles Kimbrough) wife, Doris, on "Murphy Brown," Kimberly's (Marcia Cross) mom on "Melrose Place" and Richard Fish's (Greg Germann) mom on "Ally McBeal."

I owe a lot to David E. Kelley. "Picket Fences" was one of the first serial dramas I ever got hooked on in syndication. "Ally McBeal" and "The Practice" were both influential in my decision to go to law school, where I actually followed Kelley to his alma mater, where he would eventually speak at my graduation, encouraging my class to avoid the banality and soul-destruction of the corporate track. Actually, come to think of it, David E. Kelley probably owes me $100,000 in law school loan debt, thanks to that advice. Fucker.
With the exception of "Girls Club," I have nevertheless been completely loyal to Kelley over the years. "Harry's Law" may break that streak. Kelley has been writing legal dramas for so long now that the actual cases within episodes are easily borrowed from plot lines in past shows. Given the limited number of issues fit for television, I don't begrudge the guy that,...

10. Sons of Anarchy: Here's one major problem I have with this season of "SoA": There were ten episodes or so that all mostly revolved around getting Abel back. They went to Ireland, for fuck's sake. And when they finally do retrieve him, it seemed so anti-climactic. That was supposed to be the big moment. Still, I am thankful they've returned to Charming, and the way that Agent Stahl turned around and shot her lover in the head was bad-ass cold blooded. Man: Is there a more evil woman than her?
9. Parenthood : The Braverman family and Thanksgiving? Kind of perfect, isn't it. I hope you enjoyed it because, if I'm not mistaken (and I may be), that was the last one until January 4th.
8. Modern Family: I think there's only one more "Modern Family" left in 2010. This one dealt with Mitchell's discomfort with Cameron's Mom, who is a little too touch-y.

Given the fact that, including myself, there are four regular writers at Pajiba who are also lawyers (two of whom actually practice -- Seth and The Boozehound), I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me before to put together an Srl on the best legal shows. I suspect that, of the four of us, I'm the only one that watches legal dramas with any regularity, but despite the proliferation of them, I still can't resist a particularly good one.
Unfortunately, good ones are rare. There have been close to 90 legal shows in the history of television that have made it longer than six episodes, not even including those where the law is tangentially related (like Picket Fences or dozens of cop shows). Of those, however, I imagine only 20 or so ever actually made it to a second season, so it's something of a mystery to me why the networks...
