Harry's Law
Harry's Law is an American legal comedy-drama television series created by David E. Kelley, which ran for two seasons on NBC from January 17, 2011, to May 27, 2012. On May 11, 2012, NBC announced that "Harry's Law" would not be renewed for a third season. Premise. "Harry's Law" revolves around Harriet Korn, a recently fired patent lawyer, and her group of associates as they come together to form a unique law firm in a rundown shoe store in Cincinnati. In the second season the practice is moved upstairs to a larger office  with the help of prestigious lawyer and friend Thomas "Tommy" Jefferson. Production. Development. This is the first television series that Kelley has not co-produced with 20th Century Fox Television—instead, the series is co-produced with Warner Bros. Television. On May 14, 2010, NBC officially announced that it was picking up the series. "Harry's Law" was held as a midseason replacement and premiered in January 2011 replacing the now-cancelled "Chase". In an attempt to make the show more realistic, producers decided to explore Cincinnati more thoroughly in the second season and have included an actual Cincinnati business , Arnold's Bar and Grill, as a part of the show. Cancellation and campaign efforts. Following the cancellation of the series, supporters banded together on Facebook in an effort to bring "Harry's Law" back to television. The unsuccessful campaign was launched on May 13, 2012, titled "Save Harry's Law". Reception. Critical response. The show has met with mixed reviews with a score of 48 out of 100 from Metacritic. In a particularly positive review of the pilot, Ed Bark called it "an improbably entertaining outing." Ratings.
