    A Lot of Bull, but I Won't Tell

    The usual stuff. New attorney that for some reason turns me off. Another sexy young woman. A mother wants custody of her son because her ex-husband is sanctioning his becoming a bullfighter. A decorated serviceman wants th4e Army to recognize him as gay. Then it's the usual Denny and Alan stuff with that enormously beautiful attorney.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Goofs
      Neither a state court nor a federal court has jurisdiction to enjoin "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" from being enforced: "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" falls under military law and a case regarding it would have to be heard before a military court.
    • Quotes

      Denny Crane: I love you Shirley, I'm not ashamed to say it.

      Shirley Schmidt: If you love me, then you'll want me to be happy, even if I'm not with you.

      Denny Crane: I don't love you that much.
