Umm. Isn't he the focus of the show and isn't she is like the anorexic foil? This is like Ally McBeal without Ally and Fish and Biscuit etc. Not that I like the Practice, but this seems like a stupid(er than normal) idea. I have always hated the Practice because 1) they win about every criminal case 2) almost all their clients are innocent 3) their lawfirm sucks. I mean, it seriously sucks. There is a shouting match in every episode. Who the hell would want to work there. And why is everyone, including the secretary, an equity partner?

ABC told David Kelley that it would either be cancelled, or renewed at half the per-episode fee it was earning this year. When they chose renewal, Kelley decided to give ABC "the show they were paying for, and nothing more," or words to that effect.
The problem is that ABC is a distant fourth in the ratings and there's not enough money to go around. I expect Practice to get cancelled midseason next year. They didn't help matters by moving it from Sunday to Monday this year (though arguably it was a dying show anyway).
More proof that ABC is being run by a bunch of Chunderheads.
