I don't think you can be the only one, since there has been a steady stream
of Kelly WW-bashing over the last couple of weeks here.

A little bit of Kelly certainly goes a very long way. I never say McBeal; I
did like the first couple of seasons of The Practice, and the first season
of its sequel. But he does get obnoxious quickly. I don't quite understand
all the hostility towards his WW project though. The Carter series was, in
my view, ridiculous and forgetable, and hardly worth wars waged to defend
its memory from defacing by Kelly. Or is the hostility based on appreciation
of the original comic (which I am not familiar with)? In that case I would
understand, but I don't think Kelly could do any more damge that the
original tv series did.
