couldnt agree more. Is "you're going to hit a lawyer?" supposed to calm the situation? Is it supposed to make it sound like that is a terrible mistake?
4 kittens die every time that commercial is played. 4 KITTENS!
Do your part, make Bochco eat his own buttocks and save a kitten today.

everytime that commercial came on, I turned the channel, and no I will not watch the show, the lead guy is annoying.
I missed it, but here is what one of my colleagues wrote in his rant.
Hi all,
Is there any reason whatsoever that people believe these shows? In 10
years I do not think I have ever seen a lawyer go to jail for cussing
out a judge. Come to think of it, I have never seen a lawyer be so
disrespectful to a judge. (Oh, I have seen some judges be
disrespectful to attorneys, almost to the point of this judge, but not
the reverse.)
Now, perhaps it does happen in the criminal context, but I highly
doubt it.
Of all of the legal shows I have ever seen, Law and Order seems to
come the closest (in the early years, lately, forget it). Why does
Stephen Bochco seem to think this is the way law is practiced? I have
to admit, I had a similar reaction to the one that was set in
Providence, RI with the young lady from ER who, in the opening scene
of the show, walked into a judges chambers and hung up the phone he
was talking on.

Eh. They are supposed to be rebels i guess. How many cops play by their own rules? How many twentysomethings in new York live in fabulous apartments? It's dramatic license.
That said, i agree that the show looks awful.
I agree, it's about ratings, not accurate portrayal of the law. Judging from any response I've seen, it will fail on both points.Originally Posted by Wazdakka

Being as how I used to be a Paralegal, could someone link this, I am quite interested in it.
Ally McBeal was the best non-realistic lawyer show on...they didn't even try to portray reality.Gawd, I still laugh thinking of some of those scenes!

It is a commercial for a show called "Raising the Bar". In the commercial, Zac Morris from Saved by the Bell jumps up in a guys face and yells, "Are you going to hit a lawyer?!?"
I don't know if this was supposed to make him look cool or slick or whatever. In my opinion it makes him look like Zac Morris saying "If you hit me, I will tell Mr Belding on you!" It is like the writers want you to hate lawyers... (who are the heroes in the show).

That comment is so dumb. There is a lot of people who would like to hit lawyers. My wife's con law professor told her class that every lawyer should have at least two guns. One in their desk and another to carry on them. Of course, he was the sponsor for the law school's skeet shooting club.
