'Boston' attacks Utah

already glad that I dont watch that show!

I always thought growing up in UT that coffee was an illegal and knew of relatives in rural areas that had lots of wives

Boston legal is the best show on TV and will take on any subject. Lighten up a little bit.

Many Mormons still practice polygamous temple sealings. Just because it isn't practiced in this life, doesn't mean that many Mormons won't be practicing it in the next.

We let a lot slide in the name of 'religious freedom' that is absurd elsewhere. Don't be surprised if someone points that out now and again.

I thought it was funny.
It illustrated how strange it is to be tolerant of polygamy, something illegal, whild being intolerant of other things that are legal, such as gay marriage.

Instead of getting upset that Utah is portrayed the way it is, and in a sense, defending the immoral and illegal practice of polygamy, Utahns should admit that it is immoral, illegal, and that it does occur here much more so than anywhere else (polygamists in other states moved there from Utah) and we should demand that it be stopped. Who cares if you have to incarcerate a bunch of men and break up "families" (I use that term loosely). Let a new generation live without polygamy and they will be freed from its brain washing and tyranny. Then the world would give Utah the respect it so desperately wants.

"Fools mock, but they shall mourn....."

Ether 12:26

Well, this guys own state (guessing he lives in Cali) is leading the way to making polygamy legal. So how do you like them apples?

much?

Kelley has pretended to be a sophisticated writer for some time. Instead, his contrived, mind bending twists of logic and laugh-out-loud idiot charactoers have shown him to be just an intellectual poseur. Successful? Yes. But that is only sad commentary on the viewers of the show. I gave up BL long ago and now just roll my eyes at Kelley's attempts at leading edge tv.

Good bye and good riddance. Running Star Trek reruns or Star Gate would be better for Shatner and Spade.

As times move forward I have grown to believe one thing . . . don't be sad or even upset that hollywood media slanders against Utah. I have lived in AZ, CA and NV now and would still take Utah over any of those states. I mean hollywood is so awesome with all of its smut, illegal aliens and gay rights. Good for them let them make fun. At the end of the day most of hollywood is good for nothing, don't believe me just watch "Extra" for a day and you will see all of the great things they are accomplishing.

Don't be so sensitive, let them have theirs and we will keep ours. Hollywood and "Boston Legal" are ultimately going to have no effect on me and my family so forget them, we don't need them and they don't need us. I'm cool with that.

Senseless sexual inuendo. That is all! It is meant to dumb down the role of men, even educated men into complete idiots without any morals. Watch every episode and line the pockets of those who peddle filth.

I usually don't watch the show, but I happened to stop on it while flipping channels as the court scene was getting set to begin. I thought it was pretty funny. I've lived in Utah all my life, and I'm intelligent enough to realize that TV shows try to entertain. Why should I care if a writer/producer uses his own show to spout off about something that he only has a stereotypical understanding of? Also, Utah isn't the only state that has stereotypes about its people.

Maybe if UTah didn't leave old laws on the books then shows like this wouldn't' happen.

Sometimes the truth hurts. If we can't take the heat, then stop turning a blind eye to polygamy.

Boston Legal. But after 2 seasons, I felt like they had politicized every issue imaginable, while making a mockery of the legal system. And all of that is fine and good, except...

Eventually, I just got bored with Alan Shore's endless rhetorical flourishes. It's classic hyperbole: misrepresent an issue, then call people hypocrites by railing against the straw man you've set up. It's such a weak device, I'm just not sure how it's survived this long.

I'll bet the name is appropriate for you?
I too think it is funny...
The producers are intolerant of polygamy and yet so tolerant of gay marriage.
Which is the most un-natural.

I'm sorry for people who rely on the boob tube for their world view.

How about going to the library instead? Read a book, National Geography, Scientific American etc. Educating.

What is the difference between the fiction of Boston Legal or the Work and the Glory. Both distort the truth.
