Strange episode when Cleaver is presented with a case he can't resist... to defend a cannibal charged with murder but cannibalism isn't a crime so getting away with eating a dead man was interesting and his relationship with Missy is another story
Author: bala    Time: 11-5-2010 10:40     Subject: Reply 6#6 codebreaker's post

Well it wasn't really strange episode but Cleaver is really is such an interesting character let just recap he's in love with prostitute named Missy who decided become a law student but to than attend her class as the lecturer was high amusing but than this isn't any surprise when he decided to speak a psychiatrist who happens to be his wife to discuss this issue if that wasn't strange enough his son walk in and try convince his dad to cover for him claiming plausible deniablity. on top of this he seem suffer gambling addiction. This guy could give House a run for his money .

Yes it was but this gives kids some idea when trying convince a parent to cover for him

What a way for a mother to get her daughter out of jail by sleeping with one of the jurors and Cleaver decides to take the case but sleeping with her was funny I figured she would but he really does love women but than going to court trying to be disrespectful about his client was funny. Drugging the prosecution to give her confidence was great.
The ending with the taped with cleaver talking about conflict of intrest was  A GREAT ending to the episode.

Missi lie got way out of control thanks to Cleaver . i am still a little surprised at shooting but he survived , it was amazing getting two shot to his chest and he survives? .if this been US show the guy would been dead .  

His son asking him to use his flat as love place for his girlfriend was funny.

I liked the way Cleaver turned the tables on Missy's cover story at the restaurant and David who makes headlines when he tackles a gunman was impressive but what Lucy did to get information after her daughter is found guilty of murder was beyond the call of motherhood and as for his son leaving a used condom in the bed was disgusting

Well bigamy case was ok i figured he had 3rd wife somewhere and I was right but i like how he got the bar association members to give him a pass thanks girl he hired who had a secret about them.  . I am liking this guy by every episode but i can't wait until his friend finds out it's him who she's cheating with   .

At least the bigamist knew all his kids favorite toys and hobbies but can you imagine the expense of keeping more than one family, the judges comment after the female barrister said about trying to escape the boredom of a long term marriage was funny and I'm glad he stood up for Melissa when he was in the lift

PS did you recognise the judge

Well i am glad we didn't see the dvd but i have say when dvd was found i never imagine what was on it , i thought something medical but when we found out what it was,  it was surprising but i feel sorry for the daughter because can you imagine finding out your father has dvd with something that cause embarrassment.

The legal strategy was brilliant making the jury watch the dvd frame by frame was smart because they became immune to it and give him a pass.

Now Cleaver's 3 ladies in a bed situation was one of the best moment of the series

Cleaver sleeping on the sofa with the 3  ladies in his bed was priceless but the animal cruelty case was disturbing but the family dog didn't deserve that or did he considering he was scratching the bedroom door. I did like all the dog innuendos when he was asking Missy for help

I liked the false teeth story and I'm glad Missy and David are finished but Cleaver's secretary was lucky considering what she has done to Cleaver but i thought the gargoyle accident was payback untill he offered her job back with a cap of 10% on her steeling which was ridiculous

Well so glad this is back but at least he moved to an MP . This was an interesting twist to terrorist attempt to blow up parliament . . I can't believe he asked to go birthday party since last season he sleep with his wife was a bit ridiculous but drunk clown was amusing.. That's one understanding husband the MP has . Cleaver taking it a lot further with the text message but what she did to swap the phone was funny. What a clifhanger i really underestimated her husband

How frustrating being disturbed by text message while trying to make out in the back of the limo but trust him to get caught having an affair with the Premier but why does all his ladies have to be married, the judge getting confused and saying bleach-brown-green was amusing considering they was talking about anal bleaching, the phone swap was crafty and who would of though he would get the so called terrorist off only to realise she murdered her husband

I cant believe Cleaver's roving eye has led him to stray again with Michelle this time but discovering she's not yet 16 was priceless but when she blackmails him into defending her after she is charged with accidentally killing a fellow actor was interesting but it does make you think it was premeditated

Yes that was priceless when she told him that but asking him to defend her was interesting. That book naming judge sexual kinks was amusing. What an interesting interview technique when she was rejected as soon as she mentioned Cleaver Green she got the job.  Just when you think it can't get any better he finds his son has knocked up his mum friend . That really was amusing when she said ' it's not like your father is doing 16 years girls

That's a weird fetish Cleaver first client has and Fuzz making a scene in the street when he found out about the abortion was predictable but Joshua shocking Cleaver by inviting him to represent him in the case of the decade was interesting especially having borrowing someone's chamber to hold the meeting but him being murdered was a surprise

Cleaver opening Missy's mail was terrible but no wonder he wants to help her with them offering that amount of money but him saying what happened to Wednesday after getting drunk was priceless, I know Lane Hole was an ass hole but putting a contract on him because he lost in court was crazy but the no charge for killing the wrong man was bizarre

Missy was probably the only one who could afford to bail Cleaver out but the thought of Dame Judi Dench playing him in her movie from the book was amusing and Cleaver goading McGregor into having the charge upgraded thinking he could beat it was a massive mistake after getting fourteen years, I cant believe Wendy stayed while Ruth watched and what Cleaver son did to Lane Hole was great
