The Firm was a book...turned into a movie...now a tv series.

Graybeard
(6,996 posts)Working for her law firm Elle Woods has become a champion of the people very much like Erin Brockovich.

(27,677 posts)would be perfect for an episodic series. You could have a corpse of the week like Six Feet Under but with a comic twist and hookers.
Chuck Lumley (Henry Winkler): As we sit here and idly chat, there are woman, female human beings, rolling around in strange beds with strange men, and we are making money from that.
Bill Blazejowski (Michael Keaton): Is this a great country, or what?
