Well this "review" sucks. You say you can't watch the show and be on the computer. So where did you go right after the show ended when they showed the preview for next week? You are obviously not paying attention. You really shouldn't be reviewing a TV show if you don't know what's going on.

Next's weekpreview was interesting because I thought the woman wa sonly a few months pregant and she is already popping the kid out.

I really hate Hands, his charater is way too over used and I wish they would just get rid of him. But the storyline was great that the office is a group of totally different people that is now like a family.

Some of the best parts...

Do you spank your honor?
Human rights are so yesterday.
Screw the laws!

I like the part where Alan steals the "yellow" roses and gives them back to the judge. They were white, not yellow.

Then Denny asked if Alen likes Bush and Alan goes "That's harder". He then goes on to say "President Bush has to be smart enough to outwick a fish... No? Hmm..."

Then the last scene where Alan and Denny are talking on the deck and Alan goes "All women are crazy, fat skinny, tall... no..." Looks down and Bethany is there! She hasn't been around in awhile and she didn't have any lines this week and was in the show 10 minutes but it was great! Now they just need Betty White back.

I appreciated this throwaway by Denny (talking to the reporters): "I have no problem with Guantanamo by the Bay. I like resorts."

Seriously, why is it when people talk about the best shows on TV this show doesn't get mentioned? I'll compare it to any show on TV today.

It does make me sad Paul that you... the supposed King of TV Geeks thought this was the season finale. Staying around for the preview or even checking online would have easily shown that this was not the final episode of the season.

How exciting will it be to have Jerry back in the firm! I laughed my rear end off when he sang the theme song; it was imply hilarious -- sad to say, I do it all the time, right down to mimicking "Outlaw" at the end of the song. Did I hear correctly that Shirley said they were losing two lawyers? Has Mark Valley's pilot been picked up? Is Julie Bowen leaving?

I loved the Guantanamo Bay storyline. It's an issue I feel very strongly about (I hate the idea of torture, by the way) and found myself actually getting worked up when that smug general said that our country needs to torture people in order to find out whether or not they're innocent, and that it's necessary so our soldiers aren't hurt in Iraq. What a load of crap! Regardless, I also thought the writers did a good job of presenting the other viewpoint in the government lawyer's closing arguments.

Another great episode! I can't say I'm too excited about next week's episode, but we knew this marriage was coming.

I found it pretentious, preachy and boring. The "meta" credit opening was a re-hash of a joke David E. Kelley keeps recycling on ALL his shows. The twitchy Aspergers guy is becoming a stupid parody...no, wait, he's already a stupid parody bordering on the offensively absurd.

The preachy, soap-boxy storyline only served to remind me that David E. Kelley thinks I'm an ***hole and is using network TV time to tell me so. Lastly, why is blatant sexual harassment (by both sexes) fodder for so much comedy in his world? I guess it's only abuse when he didn't think of it as part of a "funny" script.

Folks, the "season finale" thing was my fault. I added it to the title because it was episode 22. Didn't realize there were 2 more left. Sorry about that. And my apologies to Paul.

It's still Paul's fault he didn't even look right after the show ended.

And malren it sounds like you hate left wingers and can't take a joke, so why do you watch? I don't watch The 700th Club unless I want a good laugh.

I'm a new fan of BL and can't figure out if Alan and Denny have a gay relationship or are just pals.

I noticed Denny snoozing off DURING the case while Alan addressed the court. Funny stuff ... I adore Denny's character. He's hilarious.

At first that younger lawyer character was putting me off by how flip he was about this torture, arrest without a subpeona, FOIA stuff - I was getting upset. But then at the end, when he talks about how this kind of lawless post 9/11 think is starting to have effect on US citizens who have nothing to do with terrorism or security I was so relieved. I hope a lot of people were watching that show - I wouldn't have put it that way but it was better than no mention.

David, what does the 700 club have to do with this conversation, or are you just randomly picking from some feveredly imagined list of what you think anyone who isn't a radical lefty *must* like?

What I'm saying is that was a pretty stupid statement.
