''Carson's Law'' is an Australian television series made by Crawford Productions for the Ten Network between 1982-1984. The series was a period piece set in the 1920s and starred Lorraine Bayly as progressive solicitor Jennifer Carson. The episodes revolved around the cases taken on by Jennifer, and the various personal intrigues of her family.〔Albert Moran, ''Moran's Guide to Australian TV Series'', AFTRS 1993 p 100〕 ==Brief Synopsis == The series' premiere was billed as a 90-minute "movie-length" episode on 24 January 1983, with another two-hour episode in the same timeslot the following night, before settling into its twice-weekly 60-minute format the following week. ''Carson's Law'' was noted for its quality scripts and period production values. Despite being popular in Melbourne, where the series was based and filmed, it did not succeed in Sydney. Attempts to revamp the series to make it appeal more to Sydney audiences eventually alienated the programme's core audience, and it was cancelled in 1984 after 184 episodes. The final episode aired on ATV-10 on 1 December 1984; after being shuffled around the TEN-10 schedule, then reduced to one episode per week, then pushed back from 8:30pm to 9:30pm and, finally, to the even later 10:40pm slot, the final episode eventually aired in Sydney on 18 April 1985. ''Carson's Law'' was bought by several members of the UK ITV network. Yorkshire Television showed a considerable amount of episodes on Thursdays at 1.30pm between 1984 and 1988 while Television South West screened a slightly lower amount in their 6.35pm slot on Tuesdays during 1984. ''Carson's Law'' was also shown in Portuguese television, and is being currently re-played at RTP memoria (trans. "RTP Memory"). ''Carson's Law'' was shown in Catalan television (TV3) as well. The Catalan name for the series is ''Carson i Carson advocats''. ''Carson's Law'' was also shown in the Netherlands for its entirety by the NCRV broadcasting company. The company adapted the title to simply 'The Carsons'. It ran in the afternoon, and was quite popular. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carson's Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
