Call it a "good news/ bad news" scenario for David E. Kelley. NBC has rejected Kelley's much-hyped revival of "Wonder Woman," but is expected to renew "Harry's Law," his new series starring Kathy Bates which premiered last fall.

Last night ABC’s Boston Legal was packed full of political jabs.

Kelley: “Kelleyvision.” Though McBride meant the term as a compliment, it is a double-edged sword. “Kelleyvision” embraces the absurd, the magical, and the love of love. Unfortunately, it also embraces the politically correct, hatred of the law, talking heads drama, the limited attention span of the MTV generation and the reduction of even the absurd and the magical to paint-by-the-numbers hackery. Well, Kelleyvision is back....

Kelleyvision embraces the absurd, the magical, the love of love, the politically correct, talking heads drama, the limited attention span of the MTV generation and the reduction of even the absurd and the magical to paint-by-the-numbers hackery.

In the past two months, Neo-Nazis have shot up and started explosions in Los Angeles not once, but twice. The Russian mob has also laid the City of Angels to waste.
