L.A. Law
Debut: January 01, 1986
Ended: January 01, 1994

This critically acclaimed ensemble drama looked like Hill Street in a fancy law office, with many characters and stories intertwined in each episode. The high-powered Los Angeles law firm of McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney, and Kuzak took on cases of all types, criminal and civil, usually for high fees. Leland McKenzie was the esteemed, fatherly senior partner; Brackman, the vain, insufferable, balding partner struggling to fill his late father's formidable shoes; Kuzak, the savvy but compassionate younger partner; Van Owen, the idealistic Deputy D.A. who was Kuzak's lover and sometime courtroom opponent; Ann, another idealistic attorney; Stuart, the firm's nebbishy little tax attorney, who had a heart of gold and also had the hots for Ann; Arnie, the sleazy, womanizing divorce lawyer; Victor, the uptight young Hispanic brought into the firm to meet racial quotas, and he knew it; Abby, the unsure-of-herself young intern; Jonathan, a young black lawyer; Benny, a retarded office worker; and Roxanne, the motherly receptionist. Plenty of office politics and sexual adventures were mixed in with the cases. Besides its soap-opera entanglements, L.A. Law emphasized outrageous situations and trendy cases. As the season's wore on, cast members departed to be replaced seamlessly by actors of equal accomplishment. Slickly produced, sharply written and consummately acted, LA Law memorably set the stylishly sophisticated tone for the deluge of legal series' which were destined to follow in its impressively substantial wake.
