;D I happened to catch it and he was adorable, creepy, but adorable. You know, it's funny but after watching his performance on the practice, I don't see how people think the character of Ben is so creepy. The character he played today was creepy, scary, etc. Ben is just mysterious and somewhat sneaky, but he hasn't done anything like sacrifice small animals or kept body parts in his freezer!!! Know what I mean? ;D

I watched and recorded it. Totally loved him as William Hinks. He was still creepy, innocent (not so-innocent) like. I loved his hair too. It was so cute. And those suits were lookin great on him. I totally missed the plot of the show. I was too busy staring at Michael! Just kidding. I know what happened. *winks*

I happened to catch the one Thursday morning, yep. I already have had it recorded for more than a year, and have re-watched it many times, but since I was up (shockingly) at 8:00, I figured I'd watch it again. It never gets old. In the upcoming episodes, that startling creepiness gives way to humor a few times. Don't be surprised if you find yourself giggling at some things, despite the surrounding creepiness. ;D

I was just about to come in and ask if anyone else got up to watch this. Man, getting up at 8am is hard work. I don't see how people do it. Thank goodness for the VCR.
It took me a while to get past the fact that the accused not only looked like a creepy Ben, but sounded exactly like the guy reading 'All The King's Men" for me.
This was my first ever episode of The Practice, so for a bit of the trial I was just sitting there listening and thinking to myself, "This has GOT to pick up soon, right? Right?" Something about those defense lawyers just bugged me. They are no Jack McCoy, I tell you that. But I stuck with it, because I could not figure out who was playing who, who knew what, and how they got away with all of that "Insane. Just kidding, not guilty!" stuff. Would that go over at all in real life?
But by the end, when they finally came around to realize that they had underestimated who they were dealing with, I was like "No! It can't be over yet." When he looked at that lawyer and she came to the slow realization that she had done everything he had wanted her to, I was sitting there going, "What?! Wait, so he... oooohh! Oh, he got you good! How very 'My name is Henry Gale' it all was!"

I haven't got to watch all of the second episode of the Practice yet. I was at work at 8 a.m begging the front desk clerk to turn the television over, but they couldn't. So I snuck to a room and watched the last 30 minutes of the show. *giggles* I wish Mr. Hinks would send a puppy my way....*busts out laughing* Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Oh, I wish it came on at 5AM here... that I could manage, as I'd still be awake. I ended up staying up through the night yesterday to make sure I was up to start the tape at 8. The plan was to hit record, go to bed and watch it later. I ended up "resting my eyes" at 7:30 and only woke up at 8:20 when my mom poked her head in the door like, "Weren't you supposed to be taping something?" So I missed the first 20 minutes and came in just in time for Mr. Hinks' office visit. Good timing. For some reason, I do not think things are going to turn out well for that puppy.

I watched it on YouTube. Michael is soooo amazing! I actually watched it while I was at work (there weren't many people in the office that day, and notably my boss wasn't there ). I only meant to watch 1 part of it (it's split into 9), but I just couldn't stop watching. Michael is so talented <swoon>

I don't remember really but I think I only watched 1 or 2 eps and they were the last ones so I have to see the whole thing again some time! There are 9 eps? Wow! Maybe they should put them on a dvd and sell it as Mr. Hinks set! They'd make lots of money! ;D

I thought, there were 6 episodes? I just watched some scenes on YouTube, but I want to see all episodes with him. Does anybody know, why there is no "The Practice" DVD box? I want to see all Michael Episodes, not just the few clips!

We NEVER get "The Practice" over here. Meh. I've watched the Youtube footage, but I long to watch the whole thing. Same goes for "The Inside" episode. Would happily give a whole 5-gallon tub of Dharma Initiative ranch dressing to anyone who could help...
