HARRY'S LAW
March 10, 2012  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
NBC launched this David E. Kelley legal series almost as an afterthought, as a Friday night throwaway. But it performed strongly, so NBC moved it to a more competitive evening – and Kelley responded, too, by quickly refashioning his new series into an enjoyable comedy-drama in the Boston Legal vein: sometimes cartoonishly comic, other times searingly serious. Tomorrow night, NBC re-relaunches the series on yet another new night, the ultra-competitive Sunday, where it will go up against such already-on-my-weekly-watch list series as Once Upon a Time and The Simpsons. And tonight, as an appetizer, NBC repeats one of this season’s oddest installments, in which Erica Durance (who played Lois Lane on Smallville) plays a woman who adopts the alter ego of another heroine from the DC Comics universe: Wonder Woman. Kelley, of course, recently wrote and produced a Wonder Woman TV series pilot that wasn’t picked up. It starred Adrianne Palicki, from Friday Night Lights, and clearly inspired this story line – as well as the costuming. In the photo at left, that’s Durance as Wonder Woman on the left – and Palicki, in the unsold pilot, at right.
