This series is based on Silent Night an autobiographical account by Sue Thomas, the first Deaf person to work as an undercover agent for the F.B.I. Applauded for being a family friendly, feel-good television series despite being set in the Bureau, this series was very much about a Deaf person more than it was meant for Deaf people.
Character: John Myers Actor: Troy Kotsur (Deaf) Series: Criminal Minds. Despite having only one appearance in the series Criminal Minds, when the casting director saw Troy Kotsur in a production of Cyrano they managed to convinced the team to change the character of John Myers and make him Deaf in order to hire Troy.
Series: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. In this series Grissom' s mother is Deaf and so Gil is fluent in American Sign Language in order to be able to communicate with her. Then during the series Grissom also suffers the same degenerative illness, otosclerosis, but seeks treatment and stops the progression.
Character: Dalton Rumba Actor: Michael Hitchcock (Hearing)#N#Series: Glee#N#This is perhaps one of the most audistic portrayals in recent history, particularly in his meeting with the regular teachers on the series. With stereotypical jokes with him consistently yelling and misunderstanding what is being said in the conversation. This portrayal shows Deaf as obnoxious and daft.
Reaching a broader scope of audiences than any of it's predecessors this family drama tackles numerous issues concerning audism and challenges many Deaf stereotypes. With numerous lead characters who are Deaf including Daphne, Emmett, Melody and Travis there is also a great number of supporting and reappearing Deaf characters. Having a large portion of the show set at Carlton High School for the Deaf lends itself to being rather inclusive to young Deaf actors. The series also put out an episode where the majority of it was done solely in American Sign Language. This was credited by National Association of the Deaf as "a phenomenal and groundbreaking first in television history" in their release. There are still many controversies regarding the show and it's depictions of the Deaf community for example regarding the lack of representation of those with Cochlear Implants as discussed in this article at Cochlear Implant Online. However by and large many applaud it for bringing the subject of Deaf Culture into the eyes of the public.
Perhaps one of the best legal TV shows in the 1970s was The Paper Chase, which was successful on both sides of the Atlantic and featured the wonderful John Houseman as Professor Kingsfield, overseeing the success or otherwise of law students at Harvard.

Law and Order has always been shot in a streetwise, tough, mean and moody style and cuts scenes at quite a rate; you better not blink or you will miss it!
LA Law was a show now which sums up pop culture of the time - look at it now for the men's and women's fashions, haircuts and the whole high powered law firm in the city vibe.
While there may be some truth in that, I think most of us like to watch TV legal and lawyer shows because we want to understand how the law works and under what circumstances the law doesn't work quite so well. Mostly though, we like to be entertained.
Although The Law and Mrs Jones only lasted 2 seasons, it led the way for similar legal dramas and was a well-made show with high quality acting.

Dimitrius (played by Marc Gomes) is the father figure in the office, and the senior agent in terms of age and experience. He had a more sympathetic approach to Sue's mistakes early in her career; when she accidentally jeopardized a case when she broke into a suspect's garage without a legal warrant to acquire evidence that the suspect was involved in planning a bombing, Dimitrius helped Sue redeem her mistake by confirming that she saw the suspect mention a key contact outside his garage, at a location where Sue could clearly see him from outside the building with no warrant required for her observation. He is the only married member of the team, and has two children: Tanya and Davy. In season two his wife, Donna, suffered a miscarriage of what would have been their third child. "D" often assumes the role of acting supervisor when the unit's normal supervisor is called out of the office.

Tara (played by Tara Samuel) is the unit's computer expert, adept at tracking perpetrators via bank records, computer hard drives, GPS tracking and other cyber-sources. Tara is a fully trained and armed Special Agent. However she can give the impression of being shy, dizzy, and a ditz when immersed in her world of computers. She is best friends with Lucy and Sue and they often go out together. By the second season, Tara manages to get a second monitor display for her computer so that Sue can see the information being displayed and read her colleagues' lips at the same time. Tara made her first kill in "Bad Hair Day", when a robber ran into a hair salon while Tara was getting a new haircut and threatened the customers, resulting in her suppressing her emotional reaction to the death until the robber's brother was caught as he attempted to kill Tara in revenge. Tara has dated Stanley Abbott, a steganographer who works for the National Security Agency. In a two-episode series, "The Actor" and "Planes, Trains, And Automobiles", Tara is interested in a movie star named Adam Kinsey. However, when Stanley shows up to help break a code and work with Tara, her relationship with Adam ends. In season three, she and Bobby Manning discover a mutual attraction.
