Episode 1

Making the Grade

Fri, Sep 19, 199730 mins

Rich is shattered when Dana dumps him as useless slugger for not even minding his poor grades, but ends up studying and beating her. J.T. enjoys a raincoat with deep enough pockets to steal lots of food from the parental fridge, but is caught and squeezed. Carol misses mothering and perverts Frank's advice to pursue an interest by enrolling in college, for exactly Karen's curriculum, and lacks any sensitivity to filial embarrassment.

Ethically-challenged attorney Alan Shore, formerly of Young, Frutt & Berluti, settles in at a wealthy and powerful firm focusing on civil cases. With some help from his friend and mentor, veteran attorney Denny Crane, Shore quickly makes his mark winning cases no one would take, often using less than honest methods. In doing so, he develops a rival in his colleague Brad Chase, who has been assigned to the office partly to keep an eye on the increasingly eccentric (and possibly senile) Denny Crane. Though his questionable conduct might make him a few enemies along the way, Alan's not one to be underestimated, nor will he let trivial things like honesty or integrity get in the way of winning a case.
