Harry's Law


"I think I became terminal in my late 40’s. Nothing the doctors could find, you couldn’t see it on an x-ray, but I was dying. Being put to death quietly, systemically, by routine. I finally died last year."  Harriet Korn, Harry's Law

Harry's Law is on NBC on Monday's at 10pm est. time. The above quote was the very first words I heard as I watched my first episode of Harry's Law. I am not in my 40's but I knew exactly what she meant and I was hooked immediately. I could not get enough and had to watch previous episodes and DVR all future episodes. The main character is the brilliant Oscar winner Kathy Bates who plays a fired patent attorney, who begins her own practice. Her office is in a shoe shop managed by her assistant, she has a young lawyer and previous drug addict as paralegal. Oh, the shoe shop is in the ghetto. The cast is superb and the acting is phenomenal. The show is created by Emmy award-winning writer/ producer David E. Kelley. So nothing but the best is produced. My co-worker suggested I watch and I am very happy I did.  It's definitely my favorite drama.

The above quote was the beginning of the show and the below quote was the ending.  I have never heard words from a television show that I wanted to quote, but these words rang of truth to me. For thought provoking good TV give it a view!!

"The thing about routine, when it kills you it doesn't have to be forever.  If you can just get rid of it and the hazy blur that goes with it. Life can come back. With all it's glory, its pain, oh how it can come back"  Harriet Korn, Harry's Law
