Tonight's Best TV
A Daily Guide To Notable Shows
Fairly Legal
10-11:16PM USA, SERIES DEBUT
The by-the-numbers legal dramedy is given a needed boost by its incredibly likable star Sarah Shahi (Life). She plays Kate Reed, a lawyer-turned-mediator at her deceased father's firm. Adding to Reed's daily stress? Her evil stepmother (Virginia Williams) is now her boss. It's all pretty obvious stuff, aside from some weird Wizard of Oz references. However, the vivacious Shahi makes it feel at least fairly fresh. Bottom line: The show may be guilty of cliché assault, but Shahi is more victim than perp. B- —Tim Stack
