Great art? Um, no. And though I may own a Vonda Shepard CD or two (she’s the singer in the bar, Derb), I can bet Musicman Jay Nordlinger wouldn’t approve.

I, however, do recall the first season or so being much more entertaining than the later ones. But boy did people talk about that show! It was serious TV for serious people! (But of course it was no such thing.) And oh was it a statement about the state of women in society! (Oh how I hope not!) I did the quickest of post-mortems on Ally right after the final episode in 2002 here. But there are spoilers, Derb.
