In A LEGAL MIND, one of Manhattan's top corporate lawyers (Gabriel Macht) sets out to recruit a new hotshot associate and hires the only guy that impresses him - a brilliant but unmotivated college dropout (Patrick J. Adams). Though he isn't actually a lawyer, this legal prodigy has the book smarts of a Harvard law grad and the street smarts of a hustler. However, in order to serve justice and save their jobs, both these unconventional thinkers must continue the charade. From Universal Cable Productions, A LEGAL MIND is executive produced Doug Liman (COVERT AFFAIRS, the "Bourne" trilogy, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," "The O.C.") and David Bartis (COVERT AFFAIRS, "The O.C.," "The Heist") of Hypnotic. Creator Aaron Korsh ("The Deep End") wrote the pilot and serves as co-executive producer and producer Gene Klein (COVERT AFFAIRS) serves as producer. Kevin Bray (WHITE COLLAR, BURN NOTICE, "Walking Tall") directed the pilot.

NECESSARY ROUGHNESS focuses on a tough, sexy Long Island divorcee (Callie Thorne) who gets a job as therapist for a professional football team in order to make ends meet. Underestimated at every turn, she succeeds beyond all expectations and soon finds herself a sought - after therapist to high-profile clients. Athletes, musicians, politicians and others living in the spotlight - all in a moment of crisis - clamor for her unique brand of tough love therapy. As a newly single mom raising two teenagers, her start-up practice wreaks havoc on her life. But recognizing that she's changing people's lives for the better, she is determined to make her new career work by striking a balance between her personal and professional worlds. Created by writers and co-executive producers Liz Kruger & Craig Shapiro ("Miami Medical," "The Challenge") along with supervising producers Donna Dannenfelser and Joe Sabatino. Kevin Dowling ("Sons of Tucson") directed the pilot and also serves as executive producer. Inspired by a true story, NECESSARY ROUGHNESS is a Sony Pictures Television and Universal Cable Productions co-production.

Neither show sounds like my kinda thing, but I'll probably check them out anyway. Congrats to them both.
 
We've already heard that Marc is one of the football players, right? But what's Gina's role? They mention her as being in it, but nothing about her character.

Y'know, I generally like USA Network shows: Royal Pains, Covert Affairs, In Plain Sight. And I know that Psych and White Collar are well-liked. And of course Monk. Let's not forget about The Dead Zone either. And I liked The Starter Wife. So while neither of the show's premises seem all that exciting to me (the legal one even less so than the other), you never know.
 
Damn.. I thought the Blucas one would have been based off the movie.
 
I'm not into legal shows or anything featuring lawyers. But I'm glad for Gina and Marc and hope their shows do well! 😀

Oops lol, I did NOT mean to give you rep for that- I was going to say that the lawyer aspect on ATS was completely different from all other "lawyer" shows.
 
Both shows sound awfully boring tbh. 😛 Not my kind of shows either, but i'm glad for them. Esp Gina, she's great. (might have to check that one out)
