mmm and doesn not a big stack of pancake sound good . maple syrup and fruit preserve on top . take a bite . mmmmmmm . take another bite . another . another . eat . eat it and you . keep shovel it down your throat until your face turn green with nausea . you have just have the ally mcbeal experience . i stumble on this show in the winter of 98 and be instantly hook . like that stack of pancake and i gorge myself on it . but the enjoyment soon wear off and because the ally mcbeal character ( whom we see to be cute and endear at first sight ) soon become the most annoying and insecure and whine complainer you have ever meet . ( call me a feminist and but i prefer my female lead to have a spine . ) the gag and gimmick of the show also become hackneyed and the music of vonda shepherd ( which be really shove in your face ) become grate and and the incessant character change and rewrite make the show into a damn soap opera . my advice to you be to take this show in small dos and and quit as soon a it become bothersome ( and it will ) . i make it through 2 . 5 season before my enjoyment have totally sour . it be good while it last and but like a crazy and neurotic ex girlfriend it just turn ugly after it have overstay it welcome . and next time you go to ihop and skip the pancake . order something healthy like the fruit cup . it will sit with you much well .
