After getting a tip from a priest, Harry (Kathy Bates) helps defend Jeffrey Rollins (Steve Harris, The Practice), an inmate serving life for a murder he did not commit. Meanwhile, legal woes continue to worsen for the laundromat after Adam (Nate Corddry) risks disbarment by going behind Tommy's back to offer the fired employee her job back. Elsewhere, Malcolm (Aml Ameen) and Tommy Jefferson (Christopher McDonald) form an unlikely partnership when they team up to help an overweight woman sue multiple fast food giants. Brittany Snow also stars.

They really have no clue whatsoever on what to do with Snow.

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what her role is. Tonight's episode is almost over and she had all of one line: "Do the research."

On another note, I think tonight's episode was easily the best so far. There's still 20 minutes left, but everything felt less preachy and heavy-handed.

I watched last night's show due to a recommendation from a friend saying how much they like this show. If this was the best so far, it may be my last.

I enjoyed Monday's episode alot. It wasn't as preachy and political as the 1st 2 episodes.

Nice to see Steve Harris from The Practice on the episode. It looks like he hasn't aged in the last 10 years. Thought his case was compelling although the initial confession from the priest was a total dead end.

I absolutely love Tommy Jefferson and I hope he continues to recur on the show. His little sparring sessions with Adam are hilarious.

His best line to that fat black lady:

"Your fat, poor and black. The triple crown of plaintiffs"

And please more Chunhua!

And I love Brittany Snow, but Jesus this role is such a waste of her talents. I hope they write something significant for her in the coming weeks.

Shooter McGavin totally makes this show because everyone else is meh.

I can't wait for him representing the fatty, even though that will likely involve a liberal-nanny-state rant.

For the most part, this show sucks. It seems to me that David E. Kelley probably noticed one day that he still had a leftover pile of rejected Boston Legal ideas lying around and hastily decided to throw together a new show. The whole thing just feels half baked to me. I actually cringe at how dumb this show is.

I like it, but it does feel like Boston Legal Lite. The cast is great, they just need to figure out what to do with them IMO - but it shows promise and I've always been a fan of Kelly's preachy/quirky writing dynamic.

I agree the show needs a little re-tooling, but the potential is there.
