I wish they would release Storefront Lawyers to DVD or streaming.
Amazing find! this was CBS 50 years ago in the 1970-71 TV season. and shows like "THE STOREFRONT LAWYERS", which later changed to "MEN AT LAW" during its mid-season run (almost a partial nod to NBC's "LA LAW" in the 80s) were, despite being ratings' flops, still a well made in-house production of CBS and Leonard Freeman Productions, while "HAWAII FIVE-O" was still in its third season. and while "THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW" and "ALL IN THE FAMILY" was becoming the urban sitcom seeds during this particular TV season that would eventually produce successful spinoffs from both of these cherished sitcoms throughout most of CBS's Primetime rule in the 70s, shows like "STOREFRONT LAWYERS" were still strong and well made, as was "THE INTERNS" from then-Screen Gems, but today in the 21st Century, these shows are fossils-very hard to find! 50 years ago-incredible! and, CBS's Saturday Morning lineup was equally impressive, especially with the debut of "JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS", "THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS", and three cartoon holdovers from the 1969-70 TV season debuting as "ARCHIE'S FUNHOUSE", "SABRINA AND THE GROOVY GOOLIES", and the second season of Hanna-Barbera's "SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU?, plus "IN THE KNOW", hosted by the Josie And The Pussycats gang before CBS changed the format to the long-running "IN THE NEWS" in Fall 1971-so CBS 50 years ago, was, as the promo slogan said.."This is the way the eye has it.." and best of all, this was Free TV at its finest!
I just got a episode of Storefront lawyers on 16mm and will share on CZcams.
Dean Jagger, Robert Foxworth, Gerald S. O'Laughlin, was in the preview.
Foxworth turned up on Falcon Crest in the early 80s and he was the 4th husband of the late Elizabeth Montgomery
Where's the pilot with Barry Morse?
Harlan Ellison brought me here.
How so?
He reviewed the series for the L.A. FREE PRESS in 1970 (a collection of his reviews and TV essays for the paper were published in two books- "The Glass Teat" and "The Other Glass Teat").
To this day lawyers definitely don't want to wk for the poor-what a fairy tale show!!! I know-trying to find someone to help me is a complete joke but if I were rich or famous they'd be lining up...
Thanks for the upload, but the show looks perfectly awful. That's probably why the early cancellation. Even some fairly good shows don't make it, like Alaska daily. That got put in a poor time slot, which probably contributed.
Why are lawyers running?
Maybe they're ambulance chasing.
'The Defenders' with sideburns and an Alice band: part of CBS's doomed attempt to lose the boonies audience and appeal to hip 18-34 year olds. It was soon adjusted to tone down the 'attorneys against The Man' element, becoming 'Men at Law'; but it was viewed and rejected as was 'Mod Squad' and other executive-suite plays for the post-hippie public. Book 'em, Danno.
