How many 90's shows do we talk about here?
You can always start a discussion. : )

Ah...because it's not currently airing anywhere (that I know of).
Not many older shows get routinely discussed here. At least until
someone starts a thread. Why don't you?

The first season was great, the last season was pretty good, the rest
was mostly forgettable.

don't insult one of the 1990s' greatest programs.
the acting was exquisite, and every script made you think. can the
same be said of, say, 'ghost whisperer'?

He's calling it as he sees it. I don't completely agree with
Brandon, but while, overall, I loved the show, it started to
wear by the time it was getting into its third season.

Does it matter whether the same can be said of GHOST WHISPERER?
Brandon wasn't saying anything about GW, or any other current
TV show. Or any other past TV show, for that matter.

Didn't Kelly leave and the writing spiralled down and then he came back
but it was too late? That would pretty much fit into Brandon's analysis.

Ha ha. No.

The scripts were badly contrived to become "the wide wide world
reflected in this small town". That was the main reason I didn't care
for it.

I don't recall if he "came back", but he did reduce his workload
on PICKET FENCES (he wrote or co-wrote the entire first season)
to start up CHICAGO HOPE.

It didn't help that, by the end, the show's budget had been cut to the
bone (no pun intended) and that many members of the regular cast had
been let go. By the time they did the last episode, which involved a
wedding that everyone presumably attended, they could pay only one of
the Brock kids to show up.

IIRC, even stranger, the judgements usually were on the liberal/leftist side.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

So much hostility toward this great show. I think shallow sorts
didn't like the knotty legal theories that Kelley discussed with
viewers he presumed to be intelligent and curious.
jayembee
Well, while I liked the show, the "knotty legal theories that Kelley
discussed with viewers" were often warmed over ideas that he first
presented during his tenure on L.A. LAW. And which he offered up
yet again on THE PRACTICE.

are you on crack?
That is not why the oldest boy is missing? He was getting involved in
other acting assignments and chose to bow out. All the major characters
were present for all of season 4, which was a really bad season. kelley
did not return to season 4 at all.
If you watch season 3, kelly wrapped it up in a manner that he belived
there would be no season 4. Season 4 was unlike the previous 3 seasons.
I just watched them all recently.

I'm guessing you got that from IMDb. Not a wise choice. Listing
Kelley as "Writer (creator)" for all those episodes doesn't mean
that he actually wrote them. IMDb classifies a series creator under
the umbrella of "writer", and that's why he's listed as such.
Check tv.com (http://www.tv.com/picket-
fences/show/295/episode_guide.html?season=4
&tag=season_dropdown;dropdown;3) and you'll see that Kelley actually
wrote only two episodes that season: "Witness for the Prosecution"
and "Bottled".
