80s TV Shows: Legal Lackeys

L.A. Law
1986 - 1994

Click image for LA Law opening theme
This ensemble drama centered on the lives and trials of professionals at an L.A. law firm and brought us the likes of Arnie Becker and the triumphant return of Laurie Partridge to a TV series. L.A. Law is one of my all time favorite 80s TV shows because it's sexy, smart, and funny.

Trivia: 
What was the name of the law firm they all worked for?

Mckenzie, Brackman, and a couple other names. Hey, it's been a while!

I have no idea, but I love all the 80s hair, the feathered bangs, the excess use of hairspray. It brings back memories.

I never really watched this show. I had limited TV time. I was never home. Most of the 80's shows I watched in re-runs in the 90's.

I watched this show. When I was a kid my dad told me I could be a Doctor, Lawyer or Engineer when I grew up. I picked Lawyer so I watched L. A. Law to get a head start on my education. I didn't end up being a lawyer.

I have never seen LA Law in any capacity (ie, in the 80s or in reruns). Does that make me "square"? Now that's a show I've seen: Square Pegs!

Thanks for the memories. I loved L.A. Law. Re-runs are tame today but I still enjoy them from time to time.

I guess if you were talking about the music or movies of the 80s I would be able to relate much better. Like I said before, I never watched much TV in that decade.

I have no idea but do remember this show....vaguely. If this post was about "Law & Order"....I'd be on board and say, now we're talking! lol.

I watched this faithfully until it got bad. One particular episode helped me have a breakthrough for the ending of my short story "Daisy" that will appear in 100 Stories for Queensland.

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

Image
We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
