The Practice

[The Chain]

Does anyone else like this show? I watched it just last night, and instantly wanted to watch another episode. It's just a great, story twisting show... At least the one I saw. And I think the cast is great too. So, what are your opinions?

[dissention]

I'm a big Practice fan. :nod:

The first three seasons were superb, then it sucked until this season. Now, it's better than ever!!!!!!! I am amazed at how good it is this year. Last nights episode infuriated me, though. I wanted to kill those bastard cops. :laugh:

Try to pick up Camryn Manheim's (she plays Eleanor) book, "Wake Up! I'm Fat!" It's fantastic. :D

This is one of the few legal dramas that I can watch since I deal with the law every day. I can't tell you how many clients think that I watch Judging Amy. :rolleyes: Good lord, I deal with that family law crap everyday and I don't want to come home at night and watch it!!

I haven't watched The Practice that much this year, though - it kinda threw me for a loop when the fired so many people after last season. One thing I don't miss: Lara Flynn Boyle's emaciated ass.

It's the best it's ever been this year.

Well, I gotta get up to speed then.

Did you see that supermarket tabloid with LFB on the cover? That was freaky. She is so skinny. That can't possibly be normal.:distress:

i LOVE The Practice, been watching it since episode 1, tho i cannot comment about the revised cast, coz here we're only on season 6 of the show. sadly, they air the series at five past midnight (and no, i don't have a vcr), so it's very common that i'd fall asleep while watching it.

[darklinensuit]

I didn't watch much last season. It's much improved now, butr I still can't stand the character of Eugene. Elinor still rocks.

OMG, it was sickening. Jack must've come close to snapping her in half when they were in the sack. :laugh: It was quite jarring because they put her photo right next to Renee Zellweger's and Renee is so gorgeous.

She looks like stop sign with two inner tubes wrapped around the top of it.

I have had three different strangers approach me and ask if I was Lindsay from The Practice!!

I don't know if that is a compliment or not. :eek:

I would say so, she is very pretty. :nod:

[darklinensuit]

Okay, I'll stick my neck out...I think Lara is beautiful, and I liked her Helen character as well. I'd be fine with her putting some weight on, but she still has those great eyes.

I used to work with a woman who idolized the actress and her look. She never managed to look anything at all like her, but she sure owned a lot of grey suits.

She'd be beautiful if she put on thirty pounds and put eye make-up on properly. She wore so much that she must have stock in Revlon. She has beauitful eyes, but when paired with her angular features (from weighing 3 ounces sopping wet) and gaunt body, she looked sinister. As for her character, after the third season, they barely used her for anything worthwhile. Loved when she shot Eleanor's ex in drag. ;)

I guess I'm into the whole angular, sinister thing.:cool:

I don't know the seasons by number; I never watched that closely. Was the ex the nun psycho?

Yeah, he was the killer that stabbed Lindsay and stalked everyone in the office.

I'm glad I asked. Didn't this thing basically happen about once per season? Same story, new psycho.

Hey, remember Henry Winkler with the roach fetish? blechh.

After about the third or fourth season, it started to really suck badly. It climaxed last season and became absolutely unbearable to watch; storylines where killers believed they were Hannibal Lecter and then stalked Lindsay, then Lindsay shot him and went to prison, blah blah blah. It was unwatchable. I didn't even watch the last two eps of last season.

Henry Winkler's two eps were great. Gross, though.

This season is the best season of all, even better than the first. I LOVE IT!!!

I remember that cliffhanger! I think my jaw hit the floor.

Didn't they move the day or time of the show in the last few seasons? I think that is why I wasn't able to watch anymore.

I think it was on opposite the "real-life" courtroom show "Crime and Punishment" that I used to watch.

[dissention]

Has anyone read Camryn Manheim's book? It's something to read if you want a laugh.

At one point, she tells of going clothes shopping with her mother. She'd tell her mother to get her a certain size and slip it to her under the door of the dressing rooms. Her mother would come back with a size four, shake her head, and snicker. :laugh:

She's a class act, I have much respect for that woman. I wrote her an email a few years back to tell her how inspiring she is and she wrote me back; that's admirable. :nod:

Last year, they moved it to mondays and the ratings fell immediately. Only about seven million viewers. :eek: So, ABC used the slip in ratings to demand a lower price in airing the show from Fox and Kelley, and to keep the show on the air, they had to agree. Becuase none of the big actors wanted to take a pay cut, they were fired and only three of the originals stayed. I think it was for the better because it's amazing this year. I actually look forward to watching it on Sundays.

And they should make Sharon Stone a regular, dammit. :nod:

I have not read her book, but I saw her interviewed telling that story to promote the book. I don't remember the mom laughing; I thought it was that the mother was trying to trick her into thinking she was gaining weight so she'd diet, and so finally in the middle of a store Camryn screamed at her "I'M FAT, MOM!!!"

And I remember Camryn talking about how she loves motorcycles.

Yup. :nod:

She also talks about her affair with the Marlboro Man, how she yelled at David E. Kelley for not writing "fat girl sex scenes," how she had such a hard time picking a dress for her first Emmy show because of her dress size, how her acting teacher told her she was too fat for any role, all kinds of stuff.

It's one of my favorites.

Okay, we're attracted to who we're attracted to. I am fascinated that anyone thinks a lip injection is attractive. What do you have to say about her spectacular lip mutilation ? Does that work for you ?

I thinks he took all the fat from her ass and injected it into her lips, therefore rendering her Calista-ized. :nod:

I guess I only know her from the show, and I saw nothing wrong with her lips there.

- Jake

[sparky]

The last season she was on the show she appeared in the first episode and her lips had doubled, if not tripled in size. It was impossible to look at and almost unbelievable that anyone would do that to their face. Maybe you lucked out and didn't ever see it.
I did like her character, and think she has a nice face. But after that, it was car wreck city. One wonders about the sanity of a person who would willingly do that to their face.
