Sara McKenna (Geena Davis) is a single lawyer in San Francisco. In the pilot, she rejects her boyfriend's marriage proposal. Rozalyn Dupree (Alfre Woodard), Marty Lang (Bill Maher), and Dennis Kemper (Bronson Pinchot) are the other lawyers in the struggling law office. Helen Newcomb (Ronnie Claire Edwards) is their secretary going to law school. Stuart Webber (Mark Hudson) and his son Jesse Webber (Matthew Lawrence) are her neighbors.
This is a great cast filled with future stars. I keep racking my brain to remember another show or movie where Geena Davis and Alfre Woodard play best friends. They have such great chemistry together. This is a good workplace sitcom. I do not like the pilot especially with the boyfriend. It's a downer and also they reveal that he made her take the law classes. Being a lawyer is not something she strives to be. I rather have the pilot center around a case where she shows her commitment to the law and her heart for the downtrodden. This lasted 13 episodes. The great cast kept it interesting.
