I marathoned four episodes of DDD the other day (#2-5). I like it a lot, though I have to make some apologies for it. Like, even for a fantasy, it's fantastical. In the Rosie O'Donnell episode, how did they manage to seat a jury overnight? Okay, we're supposed to overlook that. And the next one, with a Thania St. John script, was enormously better. There's a low-set-budget-imposed claustrophobia, but the guest star budget seems healthy (or such as Reed Diamond, Sharon Lawrence, Mark Moses, Peter Jurasik and Mitchell Laurence are willing to work cheap). One clear "it's only cable" hiccup: The end credits for episode 3 didn't air. Instead, the episode 2 enders were never updated, and so ran again. Yes, some of us do actually read credits. jd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
