[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 157737, member: 23"] Turns out that six episodes does put [I]Law And Disorder[/I] into the "cancelled too soon" category. The legal background added a unique angle and there were even some end of episode twists regarding the cases Phillipa took on (some could be seen coming from a little way off if you're inclined to get on board with the plot, but they were still fun). Watching it made me a little surprised that there aren't more legal sitcoms as it works well. I suppose in many ways it's a satire of series like [I]Crown Court.[/I] Phillipa repeating verbatim the poor grammar of the people she cross-examined in her plummy accent remained a highlight for me. Pedants make ideal sitcom subjects. It's a shame it's such a short series as this felt like it had legs and could have continued for several more series. On trying to work out why it didn't continued, I've realised that Penelope Keith did [I]Next Of Kin[/I] the following year and so have added another series to my Britcom bucket list. Ah yes - of course. I hadn't realised that. But it does have a "rightness" to it. [/QUOTE]
