New Fall Season of TV. Worth it?

[sash1]

West Wing is pretty much the only show I watch. Occasionaly Friends or Smallville, etc.

This weeks' episode should be good, choosing a new VP.

I saw The Practice last night. They are using Sharon Stone to draw people back in and I think they are using James Spader effectively. If you have a law firm that is not below using show room tactics to win a case, then why not have a sleazy lawer on your staff? I think the story line of having honest, caring lawyers being dragged down by the system was okay, but a little too dramatised and sappy. And the indignation of Camryn Manheim's character is getting on my nerves. And the 100+ ear rings she wears is distracting to say the least.

This is probably the last gasp for the show. If it doesn't pick up the ratings, I think ABC is going to jettison the show. I think this is the last David Kelly show left on TV. I guess after this, there is nothing left except for him to house bunny to his wife, Michelle Pfeiffer. Of course, that wouldn't be so bad if it were me...

EDIT: This show doesn't make it for me. I recently turned my satelite back on. Sunday night football and Mail Call (on the History channel?) will be my picks for Sunday night viewing. Also, the only thing I might tape or stop to watch this fall is Scrubs. Smart funny writing. Oh, and I just read that is the next to last year for Frazier. They want to tie the number of years Cheers was on before they leave too (11 years - that makes 22 years of continual TV employment for Kelsey Grammer.)

Ever since they killed the previous DA (the balding guy) and of course Dylan McDermott this show has gone down the tubes.

*ticky tacky detail alert* Actually, Kelsey Grammer's character Frasier was not on Cheers for the first couple years. I think he came in around season 3. Still, he's had gainful employment on two major hit series for quite awhile now. I think it's safe to say he's set for life with the lifetime royalties those shows will bring in.

<----Cheers superfreak. I liked Frasier's character on Cheers much better actually. He was less snobby on that series and actually reveled in 'coming down' to the level of the other characters making him a loveable snob, whereas he's basically just an all-around super snob on this series. I haven't watched Frasier for several years now.
