L.A. Law

L.A. Law (1986 - 1994) was one of the most popular American television shows of the late 1980s and early 1990s. As with its contemporary thirtysomething, L.A. Law reflected important social and cultural issues of the 1980s and early 1990s.

The series was set in and around the fictitious Los Angeles law firm McKenzie, Brackman, Cheney and Kuzak and featured attorneys at the firm and various members of the support staff.

It was co-created by Steven Bochco (who would later co-create another successful drama series, ABC's NYPD Blue) and former entertainment lawyer Terry Louise Fisher.

The show won numerous awards, including the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 1989, 1990, and 1991. Some of the actors, such as Larry Drake, also received Emmys for their performances.

After the end of the regular series in 1994, it returned for a single broadcast in 2002 as L.A. Law: The Movie.

At the height of the show's popularity in the mid-1980s, attention was focused upon a fictitious sexual technique mentioned by one of the show's characters called the "Venus Butterfly". The only clue describing the technique was a vague reference to "ordering room service". Fans and interested persons flooded the show's producers with letters asking for more details about this curious kink.
