L.A. Law

Overview

The cliche of ‘kiss for sweeps week!’ pretty much was invented here. The NBC legal series broke ground and started a trend to use lesbians as a publicity stunt. It was the first same-sex kiss on television and there was a claim it was to make CJ more interesting… Sure. If being interesting means being written off.
