...Street law firm; it is the latest triumph from James L. Brooks, Stan Daniels and Ed Weinberger, veterans of Taxi and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. In the new show, these writers have again loaded a simple sitcom premise with a wide variety of well-drawn (and exceptionally well cast) characters, sophisticated jokes and astute social observations.

Unlike the manic Williams, who makes a guest appearance in Blue's first episode, Brogan is a quiet, reflective comedian. In his stand-up act he functions as a bemused straight man, playing off the audience, and does not deliver a set routine. ABC would...
