When it comes to sports entertainment, I’m going back to watching the WWE over NAZICAR.
Why?
Because the WWE is less scripted.

Did anybody else see James Spader’s character deliver his closing arguments Tuesday night on Boston Legal?
Yes, it’s a TV show. Yes, it’s fiction. But the writers of that show have a way of writing to today’s topics and having their characters make tremendous social arguments. And Spader - as Alan Shore - ripping to shreds the idiotic movement that is ”abstinence only education” was pure poetry, and should go down as one of the most legendary TV scenes ever.
Anyone who watched that episode and still thinks that “abstinence only education” has ANY place in our society…or anywhere else on the planet for that matter…should go right ahead and do that - abstain - so you don’t reproduce. Because we don’t need any more people that still think like a 1692 Puritan hunting witches at Salem.
Show creator David E. Kelley and his writers get a big standing O from me on this most recent episode. Way to tell it like it IS!
And it is….
Carpoolers.
On ABC, Tuesdays. Two weeks into this show, I’m totally into it. The characters are all memorable (even two of the four guys’ wives and one of their sons), and the jokes are funny and quick. Of course, the opening credits of the first show should have told me this show was going to be a riot, as it’s being produced by Bruce McCullough of Kids In The Hall fame.
I’m not much into network TV these days, outside of “24″ and “Boston Legal”, but I’ve just found another show I can watch and enjoy.
