 David E. Kelley
Kelley may be this decade's dean of the quality series, but when the Museum of Television and Radio in Los Angeles honored him and Seinfeld on the same night two months ago, the speakers seemed to have trouble describing the essence of the Kelley genius as writer and producer.
Kelley, 42, is known as the most prolific writer in television, but what his scripts convey to a nation of network viewers about the human condition is probably more important than the fact that he writes them in longhand on yellow legal pads in record time.
Kelley is still dealing in questions of insecurity, failure and embarrassment in his two current series, both set in Boston law firms.

Kelley's TV reputation -- no, his legacy -- is secure; even movie bombs like "Lake Placid" can't tarnish his halo.
Kelley is golden, he's charmed; he's Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Wayne Gretzky rolled into one.
I've been wrestling with my extremely mixed feelings about Kelley's work for a while now, wondering how a writer capable of something as wonderfully realized as the small-town parallel universe of "Picket Fences" could also give us something as staggeringly messed up as "Ally McBeal" (and wait until you see "Snoops").

Even at his most successful, when "Ally McBeal" and "The Practice" were winning Emmys and every network was clamoring for one of his shows, David E. Kelley always seemed more like a writer than a Big Producer.
This week, Kelley dipped a big toe into the water of "reality" television with the premiere of NBC's "The Law Firm," an "Apprentice"-like series hosted by trial lawyer Roy Black, who'll oversee a group of eager-beaver attorneys as they try real cases and judge them as a real law firm's managing partner might.
Admittedly, whatever interest Kelley may have in working more closely with advertisers seems to be more in the service of art than commerce, but hey, what about that "reality" show?

With the success of the quirky hit Ally McBeal in the mid- to late 1990s, David E. Kelley established himself as the decade's pre-eminent producer-writer of popular television series.
At his best, Kelley creates programming that eschews formulaic plots and neat, tidy endings in favor of three-dimensional characters facing credible ethical dilemmas; these dilemmas, as notably in Ally McBeal, are often underscored by unsettling, self-reflexive fantasy commentaries that openly air difficult issues.
Kelley, rare for a producer, writes much of every episode of his own productions.
