        trying to imagine someone explaining to a producer why the charges from a sex shop were work related and how buying the weirdest nipple clamps they could find was necessary for the art

          Imagine how much fun it was being a costumer on the show. Imagine toiling away on some legal or medical or cop drama, doing the costuming equivalent of microwaving pasta at Olive Garden - then getting the chance to play with S&M gear all day as your job.

            It’s structure is also pretty good. Though most episodes are just an adventure of the week format, things are not forgotten between episodes. They are constantly cross referenced and characters develop across them, even in the most formulaic and seemingly throwaway episodes.

            It’s still far from the modern serialized standard (thank god I much prefer episodic shows) but it lacks one of the biggest pain points of shows of it’s era.

            EDIT: Except literally in the second episode, which I remember being the worst episode and so far (two seasons in) it’s remained true.
