Dear Network Television,

I’m finally getting around to watching the second half of NBC’s Impact that aired this past Sunday.

He was also responsible for Doogie Howser, MD and yeah … I liked the Doog, don’t laugh at me. Critics raved about L.A. Law and NYPD Blue was an acclaimed hit. But then he also did Cop Rock, an intriguing idea but huge flop in execution. So where do I stand with his latest effort, Raising the Bar on TNT? Read on! Read the rest of this entry »
