TV Deja Vu…again

Don’t the program execs at ABC talk to one another about their shows?

On BOSTON LEGAL, one of the female lawyers is falling in love with a client who is dying.  At the same time, over on GREY’S ANATOMY, one of the female doctors is falling in love with a patient who is dying.

On BOSTON LEGAL, one of the lawyers is seduced into bed by her ex-husband…0nly to find out the jerk is still married. At the same time, over on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, one of the housewives is seduced into bed by her ex-husband…only to find out the jerk is still married.

  1. actually, the housewife who fell in bed with her ex-husband was married to the ex-husband (so she could use his insurance). Tho he was also engaged at the time to another of the housewives (who is not technically a housewife though, since she’s unmarried. And has a job.) Tho your point stands. Maybe next Boston Legal can do a story on some of its lawyers being trapped on a South Pacific Island.

  2. While it was rather common for David E. Kelly to “share” storylines between The Practice and Ally McBeal (and occasionally Boston Public), I can’t recall similar sharing with other non-David E. Kelley productions.
    Although, there was that case/storyline about the defendant’s penis size on Conviction the other night that was also done on The Practice.
