Altho certain unrealistic liberties are taken with this production, I find this show to excellent scripts, extremely thought provoking and gets in point across. I give this show AND “The Sopranos” applause for excellence.
Do you feel the same way or differently?
Actually, I’m hard-pressed to think of a more realistic TV legal drama. Not that they don’t take dramatic license now and then… but better than any other show I know.
They’re tops with me!
I don’t regualrly watch “The Practice” but I do have to second your opinion on “The Sopranos.” I love that show. I cannot wait for the season premiere.
The Top 10 Greatest Things About Procrastination:
The Practice is probably one of the few television show I watch. Partly because the writing and acting are excellent, and partly because Dylan is most definitely a hot bucket of lust!
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
“The Practice” is the only show on TV I watch regularly. Of course they have to be a little unrealistic, but it’s all in the name of great entertainment. It is the most realistic show on television. The people seem so real, questioning what they do, wondering if it’s the right thing, worrying if they should have done something different. I love that show
“The Practice” is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. David Kelley is an amazing writer. One has only to compare “The Practice” to the turgid soap opera that was “LA Law” to see just how great a law show it is. I particularly love Camryn Manheim as Eleanor Frutt…striking a blow for fat people everywhere.
In fact I’m glad that “Snoops” and “Ally” got cancelled. We don’t want Kelley to spread himself too thin or his other shows might start to slip, and we can’t have that.

I’ll risk a backlash here and vote against the Practice. I used to watch it, and don’t have a problem generally with the court cases, or the actors. But story just got more and more soap opera. Come on, the dentist is really a psychopath dressing as a nun? (And I was really rooting for him to be innocent, too.)
I quit watching and haven’t missed it. NYPD Blue is better.
from skelton4947:
I generally feel with my hands and fingers, though sometimes use my cheeks and lips.
As is the case with all dramas involving lawyers, the show takes tremendous liberties with A) the law being discussed, B) the activities of attorneys and judges, and C) the love lives of same.
Having been one for some time, I can assure you that A) the Law is fascinating, until the 50th time you have to make reference to the same evidence code section, B) the activities of attorneys and judges is BORING about 90% of the time (you cannot begin to understand how boring deposing your 300th injured worker is until you’ve done it!) and C) love lives are what you make of them.
