* DeaderThanDisco: The legal drama equivalent of ''NYPDBlue''. At its height it was a smartly written, well-acted show with tons of Emmy nominations and wins; now it's barely remembered as a footnote in James Spader's career.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ellenor, in part for being a well-written overweight, female character on primetime television (something quite rare, unfortunately). The role earned actress Camryn Manheim both an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
* MagnificentBastard: Joey Heric, hands down.
* NightmareFuel: Before [[HeyItsThatGuy Michael Emerson]] played [[{{Lost}} Ben Linus]], he scared the ''fuck'' out of us as a serial killer on this show. In fact, The Practice probably has a lot more to do with the fact that he's typecast as a villain than anything else he's ever done.
