Please bring back Boston Legal! It is the only good show on television.
P & L
The end of network television.. two .. maybe three shows left work watching.
I cannot believe that DIRTY SEXY MONEY will not be returning! It is well cast, as well as well written. It is a hoot to watch! Now that BOSTON LEGAL will no longer be available, there is little left to watch. I finally
‘gave up’ on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES this season. It is just too dumb to watch!! What are their writers thinking??
Please reconsider DIRTY SEXY MONEY.
