So apparently David E. Kelley is making a reality TV show around courtroom performances by trial lawyers. I can't say whether or not I'll watch this. Not because I have self-important notions about how it may reflect on the legal profession, or self-righteous condescension towards reality television but because I'm just not a very reliable television viewer. I wanted to watch 24 and Alias religiously because I thought they were engaging, but I was only able to because Mike watched them too and would remind me when they were on. The Daily Show has been my favorite thing on television for over five years, but I still only catch one or two episodes a week because I always forget when it's on. This is a show that airs literally every day in the same time slot. But I still regularly miss it.
Anyway, the story about the show ends with two people who think this show is Bad For America. Quips professor of legal ethics Victor Goode, ""What's next for reality TV? Which doctor can take out a gall bladder the best?" You know what? I'd watch that.
