Spelling of Chunhua's character name[edit]

On February 9, 2011, 66.170.43.148 edited the name of Chunhua's character, saying in the edit summary: Corrected the name of the character Xianghua, she is of chinese decent, so the ch/sh sound of her name comes from the Xi

I have changed this back to Chunhua, based on the spelling used on the show's official website. Example: Harry's Law - Episode Guide - Wheels of Justice - NBC.com I can also confirm that the spelling Chunhua is used in the closed captioning for the show. - Cafemusique (talk) 09:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Besides which, "Chun" is a legitimate syllable in PRC mandarin! I see no reason it has to be a respelling of "Xiang". 66.3.106.6 (talk) 08:09, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher McDonald[edit]

Please leave the "season 2" designation in the info box. He was NOT a main character for season 1, only season 2 so far. See similar discussion at Monk (actress Bitty Schram appeared in season 8 as a guest character and is therefore not listed as a main; this is the same situation). Thanks. Kevinbrogers (talk) 22:57, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He was recurring in season 1 and was in most of the episodes. Unlike the other two cast new members who are making their first appearance in season 2. He is a large part of the series and should be credited as starring.Caringtype1 (talk) 04:04, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The point is, however, he wasn't. Kevinbrogers (talk) 04:18, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But he was a main character in season 1, now its just official. Caringtype1 (talk) 18:00, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Though he may have appeared in 10 (I believe) of the 12 episodes, he was always credited as a guest star, and was therefore not starring. He may have been "main," but the info box lists actors who were "starring," which has a big difference. If you ever saw Monk, you'd probably classify Dr. Kroger as main, though he was never starring. In Psych, the Chief was in all but one episode of season 1 but was never starring until season 2. Same thing applies here. I'm not going to push it though, since I've seen many shows have all "season" designations pulled out of the info box (such as Lost, The Office, and now even Monk). I do agree with you that he should have been credited as starring though. Kevinbrogers (talk) 18:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Thank you.Caringtype1 (talk) 00:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Brittany show and Alm Ameen[edit]

Where does it say that they will be recurring in season 2? Is this true? there are no references. If it is true add them.Caringtype1 (talk) 04:06, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to order??????[edit]

where did season 2 go from MV and KO names on the cast list??? and season one from AA BS??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caringtype1 (talkcontribs) 16:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

location, location, location[edit]

In the pilot and also, I believe, the first few episodes, the office was said to be in Portland (Oregon, I assume).

My wife says she heard Columbus mentioned before it was more clearly established the show is now set in Cincinnati.

I came looking for an explanation of the change(s?) in locale and was surprised to not find it here.

Could someone please research this and find out what's behind this anomaly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leeeoooooo (talkcontribs) 01:30, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm. I've seen every episode and as far as I can remember, the show has always taken place in Cincinnati, Ohio, from the pilot onward. Toddabearsf (talk) 19:51, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

character page[edit]

with the new characters and recurring characters we should create a new page. Also in last night's ep. they said that Cassie renoldys was an attorney. Should we change her job?Caringtype1 (talk) 19:43, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

character section[edit]

we need to create a new page and keep the table on main page! and leave the font style thing alone it looks great and much easier to read!!!96.250.179.244 (talk) 16:16, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:MOSTV for why the style is incorrect. Additional information is there explaining why we can't create a new page yet. Additionally, there is no point for the table, as every single bit of information included in it can be (and currently is) summed up in 20 words or less in the prose below. Kevinbrogers (talk) 17:17, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the way is was designed was fine!!!! and the table made it easy to read without having to scour the tiny descriptions of the characters!!!! the article is being ruined and looks terrible CHANGE IT BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!96.250.179.244 (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the cited Manual of Style information. The information about seasons is insignificant and not appropriate for a table that eats screen real estate. Shouting and exclamation marks will not help your case and is bordering on incivility. Elizium23 (talk) 17:49, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i have read everything but the article is not better because of these changes. The table was very important to understanding the plot and characters of the show. i don't want to get into an edit war but i will not back down. the font style is bland and does not fit the show or article.Caringtype1 (talk) 18:02, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fighting this will only get both of us a block based on the three-revert rule, and I really don't want that. However, I know that almost every editor here will agree with me that the table is completely pointless. Furthermore, you don't have to "scour" the prose to find the information; it's one of the first things mentioned. You claim to have read everything, but the fact that you continue to revert productive changes suggests otherwise. Kevinbrogers (talk) 18:56, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's been 48 hours, and neither 96.250.179.244 nor Caringtype1 (likely the same person) has put forth a valid reason as to their edits. I will try to explain my edits here, so that this is no longer a problem: 1) Yes, I removed the table. It was a giant box that only restates what is said below in the writing. It is not that hard for a person to read, so there is no reason for a box that takes up half the article. 2) I changed the formatting of the prose. This was done in accordance with all other pages of this sort on Wikipedia, and, more importantly, the guidelines spelled out very clearly at the Wikipedia Television Manual of Style. 3) I cleaned up some of the grammar. Hopefully I don't have to provide an explanation for this as well. Kevinbrogers (talk) 05:24, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change of Office Location/Staff[edit]

In season 2, Malcolm is gone... the Blonde shoe salesperson is moving to NYC, and now the office is no longer in a shoe store but some kind of "law office incubator" ? Even more unbelievably, now the cartoonish "Tommy Jefferson" character has also moved his office and staff to this location?

I don't get it - and the details have been conveniently left out of the episodes to-date. I'd like someone to find out the back-story of the move and character shuffle and include it here. Danke ( Moucon (talk) 02:20, 13 October 2011 (UTC) )[reply]

They moved to a floor above the shoe store, apparently having made quite a bit of money since they had an elevator installed. 66.232.94.33 (talk) 07:27, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As I recall, they found a new location in Cincinnati with a storefront at street level to continue the shoestore since it was making money and a floor above for the law offices, and the new building had an elevator. Toddabearsf (talk) 19:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

connections[edit]

Is this supposed to be in the same "universe" as boston legal and the practice? TacfuJecan (talk) 05:25, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting theory, if you can find any evidence of it on the show or a reference it would be great to add.Caringtype1 (talk) 02:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Season 2, why only 10 episodes?[edit]

Is there an official explanation for why season 2 only had 10 episodes? Bizzybody (talk) 08:04, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Season 2 isn't over yet. It will have at least three more, with the possibility of at least another six. Kevinbrogers (talk) 18:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New page[edit]

I think that there should be a separate article for the characters. There are a lot of main characters as well as recurring and guest, so there should be a page.Caringtype1 (talk) 02:08, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


We don't even have all the recurring characters!!! we don't have tommy's assistant, or judge kirkland, the section it getting to large as it is!!!! we need a new page!!!!Caringtype1 (talk) 17:00, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a mistake?[edit]

  • On May 12, 2011, NBC renewed the show for a second season,[2] which premiered Wednesday September 21, 2011.[3] NBC ordered six additional scripts for the second season on October 11, 2011.[4] Later NBC ordered a full season with 22 episodes.
Yes, there are some mistakes. This fact is not mentioned at all in the article body; the lede section should be a summary of the article contents. Also, there is no citation for the fact that the series was cancelled. Facts like this need reliable secondary sources. Elizium23 (talk) 22:58, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
