Common Sense Isn't

Boston Legal too political for me.

I stopped watching Boston Legal last night.

I will never watch it again.

I had previously enjoyed the show. It's funny, usually.

Last week however they started playing political games.
The show was about a High School Principal, In fact Mr Harper from Boston Public, another show I liked but which spent too much time on a soap box.

In the show Mr Harper had put a filter on all the TVs in the school that filtered out FOX News because he said it was biased and hated filled and cause insensitivity among students.

First why are kids watching TV at school?

Ultimately the Judge ruled that even though he agreed that FOX was biased and hate filled he couldn't censor it because that would be censorship.

Last night Boston Legal was about a man convicted of murder in Texas. The writers made it clear that he was not guilty, or at least there was a good deal of good reason to doubt his guilt.

I think some in some small way the convict was modeled after a man executed in Texas last year.

The reason I am ticked of at Boston Legal is not their anti-death penalty point of view.

I would prefer the death penalty didn't exist. There are some people who have to be separated from other people to protect everybody. I am only pro-death penalty because that is the only way to prevent these people from getting back out into society. Any other sentence carries with it the possibility of parole or escape.

The reason I am ticked at Boston Legal and their idiot writers is because of the way they portrayed the legal system of Texas, and the fact that they are ruining avery entertaining show with their preaching.

This story made the entire legal system of Texas look like it was designed solely to kill people. It made the Judiciary and all lawyers in Texas look like they didn't care whether the man was guilty they just wanted to kill him.

In one scene the Boston Legal Lawyer, Alan Shore played by James Spader, was confronting several Texas Judges, and every argument he gave was flippantly blown off. This fantasy driven misrepresentation of the justice system in Texas is so blatantly Liberal it sickened me. The story line was typical liberal demonization of anyone that disagrees with the liberal party line.


It doesn't matter if the documents were fake. The story was true.


Why do the liberal dinks in Hollywood have to ruin a good show by turning it into a soapbox?


Will Boston Legal be driveninto the same hole Boston Public went down. It will be if they don't get off the soap box and start entertaining people again.
