Cops, Hospital,or Lawyer shows?

[lleeder]

All three went head to head and with the help of Chris Stanleys creative bookkeeping and Cops are in the lead for most shows since the 50's. Which do you personally prefer?

I would have to take cops. Medical shows make me feel queezy. The law part of Law and Order just always annoys me too much. So cops it is for me.

[sailor]

cops. law can be dry and doctor shows bore me to tears. i never watched an episode of er and feel like a better person for it.

[EliSnow]

I'll watch cop shows. Legal shows generally bug me because they portray the law, the legal process, etc. improperly.

Of course, I have a Secret Service friend who won't watch 24 for the same reasons.

Same here.

[Snoogans]

I chose lawyer shows, cause THERE ARE NONE. Even law and order, half that shit is about cops. If you did a show just about lawyers, it would be the most boring fuckin thing ever.

You mean the lawyers on those shows actually work?

Where does Dexter, Bullshit, NCIS, Top Gear fall under?

ok LA Law i was too young for, but it can't have been good. Roger Dorn could never pull off being anything but a shitty SS or a crazy dentist.

Perry Mason is from the 50's, I rest my case
ive never heard of the defenders but another show from the 60's. WE ARE TALKIN NOW MIKEYBOY

Law and Order is not a lawyer show. They have them but its as much about cops and investigation as it is the lawyers and trial

I never watched the practice for 1 second, same with ally mcbeal. I didnt even know it was a law show, i thought she just worked in some office

Rumpole of the Bailey?

Boston legal i didnt even count cause it was a comedy. Not a real legal drama, or so thats how it seemed from ads. Never watched it.

Night court RULED, but that wasnt a lawyer show either. It was a goof comedy and it was about all of them. DONT FUCK WITH BOL

Judging Amy is about a judge, not lawyers. This list BLOWS FUCKIN ASS.

The american bar association might be legally retarded

[Rube]

I love cop shows.

In a nutshell, they are retarded because they picked a bunch of stuff that Snoogans never watched.

[sailor]

i'm still confused why you made that selection.

[EliSnow]

I must have read the title wrong. I thought this thread was Cops, Hospital or Lawyer shows and not Cops, Hospitals or Lawyer dramas.

[lleeder]

Which do you personally prefer?

dude half those shows arent lawyer shows. Thats like callin CSI a cop show. A lawyer show would be a show all about lawyers and what they do to win a case. If they show cops investigating, its not about lawyers. Its just about legal shit. When I see Law and order SVU, thats almost all a cop show. Its nonsense.

And comedies cant count, those arent serious shows. you cant expect them to fully represent how things are. I dont see anyone screaming about the unrealistic court scenes in Seinfeld. STOP IT.

To make a show a Lawyer show, I better see some people sittin down goin over documents for 10 minutes. Finding loopholes. Not just tellin me what it means when a cop gives them new evidence.

[KingModem]

Lawyer shows have the least amount of chick-appeal. I like them.

[underdog]

:unsure:

At least he doesn't drive the wrong way down parkways.

[Snoogans]

you made the point you cant watch cause of how they butcher the legal system. Well then comedies cant be included cause they are almost never factually correct. About anything

Lawyer shows. Not legal shows. If cops are on it, its not a lawyer show. PERIOD

So in order to be a lawyer show, it has to be an accurate lawyer show?

But let me take one example. The Practice was not a comedy. It dealt with lawyers handling both civil and criminal cases and, in between personal lives shit, they talked about the cases, how they were going to do them, and showed them in court and in the office researching, reviewing documents, etc.

Was it accurate? More than a lot of other law shows, maybe. Definitely a lawyer show.

How accurate is "Half Baked"?

[Snoogans]

How accurate is "Half Baked"?

Its a comedy. It doesnt have to be. I dont say its a shitty weed movie cause maybe the prices were wrong

[SatCam]

I'm going to go with hospital shows because ER is the only TV drama I've ever enjoyed watching

[IMSlacker]

If cops are on it, its not a lawyer show. PERIOD

Cops cancel out lawyers, but lawyers don't cancel out cops?

[Snoogans]

Cops cancel out lawyers, but lawyers don't cancel out cops?

I already said that becomes a legal show. Its not really one or the other.

What happens when there's a cop on a doctor show?

[biggirl]

I don't watch tv much. We got rid of dish network for a few months. Today I was resting watching some court tv show and had to share this with you all.

A mother brought her daughter to court because she didn't want her to make the family peach cobbler recipe...hahahaha...I kept watching it cause it was so ridiculous....so does this type of program fall under lawyer shows?
