"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty."



"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty." Edward R. Murrow

David E. Kelley seems to be fond of this quotation. For instance, he
used it in Boston Legal. Episode "Witches of Mass Destruction,"
wherein Denny and Alan's friendship is tested when Alan helps Cassie
sue the US military for the loss of her brother. Moreover, this
quotation was also used in "The Practice." Ellenor Frutt defends
Carrie Moses regarding the case of Free Speech Zone.


Boston Legal seems to be one of the best shows today. Although it
does not have the ratings of Desperate Housewives or CSI or Law and
Order, it is best in provoking and initiating audiences to suppose,
contend, and differentiate. The aforementioned episode on the first
paragraph would demonstrate how "Boston Legal" makes audiences
suppose, contend, and differentiate.


This would be the third time Boston Legal was mentioned in the blog
entries. And readers might expect more. "Boston Legal" is unrecognized by general audiences. Avid audiences would seem to prefer the ratings that way, so long that the Nielsen Ratings and the ABC network would warrant it to have more meaningful seasons and thought-provoking
episodes.
