More on Alec’s Tua Culpa

The New York Times today more or less panned Alec Baldwin’s appearance on the soon to be Rosie-less “The View,” during which he offered a fairly self serving explanation for his outburst against his daughter, and attacked the family law system. I am inclined to agree that Baldwin did not do himself any favors with his appearance. But on one point I will agree with him – that is that fathers are, on the average, not treated very well in the family law system. Fact is, no one really is. But I think that Baldwin is more right than not that fathers generally are treated poorly. If only they had a better spokesman than Alec.

“Civil Wars”

Does anyone know if this great ABC series is available anywhere on DVD? It was, I think, one of the better lawyer shows that have aired over the years, was a pretty good, and fairly realistic portrayal of what practicing family law is like.
