Did anybody think it was worth worth all of that hype for the use of one word. Please give me your thoughts on the episode.
And must every episode have a song now?
This one didn't.
I enjoyed the episode. I didn't find it preachy at all. I thought the writers did a good job of presenting various sides of the issue. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard to discuss it much further without getting into thread-closing territory.
I'm guessing Craig thought you were referring to a Louisa, Marilyn, and Marla song, Dave...
Exactly.
I love the way Kelley uses music on "Ally McBeal", but the same thing just doesn't work as well on "Boston Public". "Ally" is primarily about romance and the songs Kelley chooses for his characters to perform usually function quite nicely as sly commentary on the episode's storylines. BP, however, is an issues-oriented show and the "singing teachers" (as talented as the 3 actresses are) often bring the proceedings to a halt for no good reason.
