Simon Baker hit television ratings gold last season with "The Mentalist," but he also had a substantial run on CBS with this somewhat darker drama series, casting him as a Pittsburgh lawyer whose own legal troubles put a cramp in his fast-track career.

While working with his father (Dabney Coleman), a fellow attorney, he also represents youngsters to fulfill his community-service sentence. Alan Rosenberg, Erica Leerhsen and Raphael Sbarge co-star. *** (Not rated: AS, P, V)
