Harry’s Law: New NBC Legal Drama; Cancel or Keep It?

by Trevor Kimball, January 25, 2011

Harry's LawLast week, NBC unveiled their newest legal drama series, Harry’s Law. Interestingly, this isn’t a new Law & Order spin-off but rather the brainchild of David E. Kelley who created shows like ABC’s Boston Legal. He also worked on NBC’s popular LA Law many years ago. Will this legal series last as long as those or be quickly cancelled instead?

Harry’s Law revolves around Harriet “Harry” Korn (Kathy Bates), a curmudgeonly ex-patent lawyer. She’s abruptly fired from her blue chip law firm, forcing her to search for a fresh start. Harry finds it when she meets Malcolm Davies (Aml Ameen), a college student who desperately needs her help and ends up working for her. A young legal hotshot named Adam Branch (Nate Corddry) accidentally hits her and gives up his corporate job to join the team. With the help of Harry’s shoe-obsessed assistant, Jenna (Brittany Snow), they open for business as Harriet’s Law and Fine Shoes.

The TV series debuted last Monday and it attracted an okay 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.07 million viewers. It ranked in second place for the timeslot though probably would have been third if Castle had not been a repeat. Though that’s not a great debut, it’s a 47% improvement over Chase’s last original episode in the same timeslot. That’s very positive for NBC.

What do you think of Harry's Law?

Last night’s episode of Harry’s Law drew a 2.1 in the demo and 10.43 million viewers. That’s a loss of about 5% in the demo from the premiere but still positive since most shows lose between 10 and 15% of their viewership in week two. Most people who watched last week obviously liked it and returned and perhaps even told a friend or two.

After just two airings, Harry’s Law ranks in sixth place on the list of NBC’s most-watched scripted programs, just below 30 Rock. That’s very positive, especially considering NBC’s string of bad luck in the Mondays at 10pm timeslot. If the series can sustain or even build on these early numbers, it looks certain that NBC will renew it for season two.

But, what do you think? Do you like Harry’s Law? Do you think NBC should keep it going or just cancel it? What do you like or dislike about the new series?

Harry’s Law was one of the best shows on TV. So sad they cancelled it. Seems like the only shows that make it are the stupid ones with the canned laughter. I hate the no-brain stupid shows that idiot people now watch. It has to be nasty or brainless for people to watch them. I am waiting for the idiots at CBS to cancel The Good Wife but hopefully they have more sense than NBC.

I read somewhere…(McLeans I think) that Harry’s Law was going to be taken off because the audience that it was attracting was too old. They do not want a 40 + demographic but would rather have shows on that appeal to the 20 ish age group. If you ask me…those shows suck, and I just don’t see whats funny or the least bit appealing. But then again…I’m 48 so my opinion doesn’t count. LOL

I love this show and if the execs at NBC would put a show on and leave it where they put it, their ratings would be great! How about some of them loosing their jobs!!

I agree that it would be a really big mistake to cancel Harry’s Law! My husband and I both enjoy watching it. I appreciate well-written, scripted dramas. I absolutely DO NOT LIKE all the so-called “reality shows!” Eventhough I do not fit the demographic that NBC appears to focus on, I do pay attention to the kinds of shows presented and I do support sponsors that support intelligent programs.
