1. A DUer turned me onto it.
(Was it you?) ;) I love it too!

I love, love, love Allen Shore!! If I were a single chica, I go for him big time!! His arguments, his rants, are so spot on!

3. Writers DUers?

I have often wondered if the writers for that show are part of the DU family. So many times it parallels these boards.

Love that Alan Shore!

Cheers!

7. Smiling is overrated! LOL
He held up the newspaper featuring Tom Delay's "mug shot" saying "Smiling is over-rated!"

8. How Could It Be Denied?
I'm not watching the show, but I just read an article in Newsweek about how commonly it is being prescribed now, according to the article "even for contraception", which I find hard to believe.

10. the victim was raped and beaten unconscious - she awoke in a
Catholic hospital. They denied her the pill there because it is against their policy.

34. Could She have been transferred?
Like I said I didn't watch it

Catholic Hospitals probably wouldn't do that though

What was the case outcome?

9. Such great writing!
I keep expecting Denny Crane to represent a Trekkie who wants the right to wear a Trek uniform to work. Wouldn't that be a hoot? Denny Crane.

11. did you see the episode that ends with Spader wandering onto
the balcony for scotch and a cigar, and says to Shatner, "Denny, I've hardly seen you this episode". I laughed my butt off.

There was a trekkie reference one episode - but I can't remember it offhand.

18. Yeah -- it was the one in Canada...
They are in the cabin and Alan is reading about fish parasites: "They attach to the underside of the fish. They're called 'cling-ons.'"

Denny: "Did you say, Klingons?"

Laughed my butt off. And when Denny pulled out the gun and shot the fish? I nearly peed my pants.

29. I hope many rabid neocons got that explanation...
this has become one of my favorite shows. Alan Shore dispels conservative talking points and Denny Crane shows how crazy those talking points are! I loved Denny on Larry King Live (after he shot the homeless man).

The episode last week was good too - it showed the Rabid Right going after a group protesting redistricting.

31. James Spader
for those of you who "heart" James Spader, I recommend his movie "The Secretary" with Maggie Guyllenhall (I have no idea how to spell it).
He plays a lawyer with a penchant for S&M (pretty tame) and Maggie plays his secretary. Spader was absolutely great in this film.
Rented the video but it was shown a couple weeks ago on the Oxygen Channel.
