How does Ally McBeal have a 10 y.o. child?

[Mischka]

I caught part of an episode of Ally McBeal tonight, and I am now terribly confused. I haven't seen the series at all this season, but I don't think she's aged enough to have a ten year old kid. What happened? Who's the dad?

I'm with you Mischka

I missed that episode too. Someone please inform us how this happened.

btw... Jon Bon Jovi is just simply yummmmy

I don't know the whole story, but the tease I saw, the daughter just showed up at the door and introduced herself. I'm a bit curious as to how Ali was convincd to go along with it.

The girl showed up last week after her dad died. Ally donated her eggs to a research project years ago, and they accidently used her eggs for someone who wanted to be pregnant (and then never told her.) The girl showed up on Ally's doorstep last week saying she wanted to live with her since Ally really is her biological mom. An aunt was taking care of her but had a singing career in nightclubs and couldn't handle a 10 year old girl.

explaination:

'Ally McBeal' show= Stupid and pointless frivolity, with little or no sense, common or otherwise, built into the plot.




This is the only obvious answer.

 

[Mischka]

Thanks, Cheyenne. That's a perfectly reasonable explanation. Certainly not a desperate attempt to breath life into a dying series.

I thought Bon Jovi was the desperate attempt at breathing life into this series (which should have ended last year).

 

[Cheyenne]

You're welcome.

I thought it actually worked well last week when they introduced the kid. Ally talked about why she wanted to have her come live with her in Boston. Ally said it felt like a piece of her that was missing was finally found, and she never really knew that it was gone. All the time she had spent looking for Mr. Right, she thinks she was really searching for the girl and just didn't know it. Or something like that. Guess you had to be there.

 

[Mischka]

Good to hear they worked it in well, but introducing a kid is always a death knell for a series.

Yeah but think about Friends, they're doing a double death knell. First, a marriage among characters. Now a child.

TV sucks these days.

Ren & Stimpy. VH1, 8:30 PST every night. Keep hope alive.

I have curly hair in real life, and if I grow it out it looks almost exactly like the Dr's. You cut me to the quick.

The only good shows on TV

Six Feet Under

Sex and the City

The Sopranos

Oz

Law and Order (all versions)

Law and Order kinda sucks ever since Mr. Big left. I liked the way he was always trying to violate everyone's civil rights.

It seems to be a series/sit-com epidemic. When the ratings get smaller, bring in a cute kid. Think about it, it happened with:
"Good Times"
"Eight Is Enough"
"Different Strokes"
"Happy Days"
"Gimme A Break"

I lost interest in "Ally cat McBeal" when they did the "Alice" routine. That is, the whole show has to revolve around her. When Tina Turner was on the show, who sings along side of her? Ally! When Robert Downey, Jr. was on the show, who HAS to be his girlfriend/lover? Ally!! The show is getting so boring, repeticious, and predictable.

 

[MechaBlade]

There are lots of good shows. But that's not important.


Only "Family Guy" is important.

I never watched Ally until now. I love Jon Bon Jovi so much that I watch just for him. Pathetic I know.

Don't feel bad. I used to watch the show only to see Lisa Nicole Carson's fine body.
