LISTEN TO YOUR FRIEND BILLY ZANE, HE'S A COOL DUDE: ABC's new "It's like Grey's Anatomy, but with lawyers" show The Deep End just finished airing on the East Coast. Now, I haven't watched it yet (indeed, I'm scheduling this post to publish before it even starts airing), but given the demographics of our readership, a thread seems in order for mockery, ridicule, and commentary on the realism or lack thereof--I suspect we won't have lawyers pulling all-nighters reviewing documents to put on a list and then shouting "I already work around the clock!"

ETA: OK, so it wasn't that bad, though the characters aren't particularly interesting or well drawn except for the hot blonde with Tom Amandes Daddy Issues, and there's nothing even approaching reality in the show (new law grad interviewing for a highly prestigious gig at the start of their 3L summer?). But Billy Zane glowers and grunts well, and I'm not entirely sure what Norbert Leo Butz is doing, though it's somewhat interesting.
