“This show was so good when it premiered, several seasons later, it diminished in quality… Much of the cast contributed significantly to the success of this series, Tom Verica and Steve Eckholdt were very enlightening and auspicious factors to making u0026quot;L.A. Lawu0026quot; popular in the latter years of the showu0026#39;s existence!! By then, those two were about the only stellar characters in this series!! Dialog in programs today is far more intellectual and acrimonious than it was in the past!! u0026quot;L.A. Lawu0026quot; was the harbinger of things to come in terms of relevant and legally germane script writing which was pertinent to the authenticity of a law office in the 1980u0026#39;s!! The original made for T.V. movie signified a revelation in television law shows!! Candor about legal settlements, and situations involving ethics with relation to salaries and status quo behavior, became a staple to the modus operandi of L.A. Law!! The poignant jeremiads which articulated the indictments of our prevailing legal system in America, became one of u0026quot;L.A. Lawu0026#39;su0026quot; trademarks!! u0026quot;L.A. Lawu0026quot; lasted eight seasons, only three were really excellent!! Almost everyone who knows about u0026quot;L.A. Lawu0026quot; would agree with me, it is just that it is very difficult to comprehend why u0026quot;L.A. Lawu0026quot; went downhill so quickly? NBCu0026#39;s perception of the Thursday Night slot of 10/9 central was that it was sewn up in their favor regardless of what they put in this slot!! Rationale of this nature is always a grave mistake!! There were a few highlights to the show in itu0026#39;s last couple of years, guys like Steve Eckholdt added to the show tremendously!! Even with his talent, he was not enough to re-establish the reputation u0026quot;L.A. Lawu0026quot; had at one time for being one of the best shows on television!!”
