Anyone else turning in to this masterpiece?
I think it's the best TV show on (well, TV) since Deep Space Nine left the air.
Strong characters, story arcs, implausable (but fun) stories. This is a great, strong, television show, and I think it's probably pushed Picket Fences out from my favorite David Kelley show.

Glad to see people saying my name. I've never seen Boston Public, but if it's not funny, then I probably won't see it, I only watch sci-fi and comedies.

I enjoy the show thoroughly. However my complaint is that they had a lot of really powerful and moving things happen rather quickly. This could cause problems later on since they may have burned through the good stuff already.

Picket fences was a David E. Kelly show!?? The one with Ray Walston as a "crochety old judge"? Or am I just crazedposessedmolestedarrestedossifiedcrucified DAFT?

Yep. Fivish "Wambaugh for the defense!" Finkel plays an old bigoted teacher in Boston Public
It's about the Principle, Vice-Principle, and teachers of Winslow High in Boston. And of course, it's got a rich cast of recurring students. It's Mondays at 8, you should check it out.

And I'm in no humour to travel to the States just for a TV programme, thanks all the same.

David E. Kelley gives me hives. I watched "Picket Fences"...& then it went into the shitter when it got soap opera-y. Same with "Ally McBeal."
When I was still an Ally fan & when Ray Walston was still alive, I had always hoped that he & Fyvush Finkel would show up there as Henry Bone & Douglas Wambaugh. They'd've made a great replacement for Happy Boyle.

Kelley gave up a lot of his control for "Picket Fences" after the third season. It's a reason why it was cancelled a year later, IMHO. That's about when it started falling.
As for "Ally", I'm sure he's given over the reins recently as well, what with "The Practice" and, more so, "Boston Public" taking more and more of his attention.

Oh yes,Boston Public, all high school teachers really do look like the ones on a fox tv show, and the realism is frickin amazing.
btw I was being sarcastic-Homer well duh-marge
sorry, it just irritates me that I couldn't have had teachers that looked like that. well whatever. david e. kelly has nothing going for him besides michelle phiffer (sp?)

First: I'm nearly sure that Snapdragon was a Targetmaster.

A Horrorcon, specifically. He turned into a jet, a very unrealistic dragon/dinosaur thing, and a robot. His pilot (Krunk) became both his dragon and robot head.
He was actually really good. Far more posable than most G1 transformers. He had knees! And elbows! As well as shoulders and hips! Compare than to most of the other transformers from that era, who could just about manage shoulders. Lord knows how they walked anywhere.
So, er, yeah. Snapdragon. Personaly favourite. Pity he never got to do much in the comic. Apart from shoot up Highbrow. Which was good.

Oh, OK. Does that mean that Apeface was a Headmaster/Horrorcon as well?
Shit, I'm mixing these up with the Predacons now - Slugslinger was a Targetmaster, who else?
