STREAMING & EARLY PRIMETIME
📺 Ally McBeal (Hulu, now): In honor of Stephen Wilhite, the creator of the gif who died recently, I select the show that put one of his favorite gifs -- the dancing baby -- into the pop cultural lexicon. This David E. Kelley show, one of the first hour dramedies that successfully competed as a comedy, followed the personal and professional life of lawyer Ally McBeal (Calista Flockhart) with some quirky friends and coworkers and plenty of fantasies.✔️
