Happy Anniversary everyone.

What a beautiful year it has been!

Happy Anniversary, everyone! I've had such a good timie getting to know you all during the past year. I'm shocked it's already been that long. Sometimes I still expect to see very pretty posters of a certain blond dude passing me on the sides of busses and I have to remind myself that that was already a year ago.

For those of you who are watching the pilot tonight, enjoy! I might, but it won't be at 10.

Happy Anniversary to one and all. It has been so much fun being a part of this board--its something I look forward to each day.

I had to partake of the Pilot earlier today--have to be up and at-um early tomorrow so for all of you doing it later tonight, enjoy!

As happy as I am that a show like Blind Justice was aired on prime time network television - no matter how short the time - I am even happier with the people on this board.

In my opinion the best thing BJ did was bring together this amazing group of people. Over the past year some of us have had the pleasure of meeting, and several more of us will meet each other this weekend. I hope that one day all the members of this board will be able to get together and take a group tour of NYC's BJ sites.

I have made connections on this board that I honestly believe will last a lifetime. During the difficult times of the past year, I have turned to my friends here to vent, to rant, and to receive tons of support. For that I am truly grateful.

Thank you Ron Eldard for doing such a wonderful job bringing this complex character to life. Thanks to Steven Bochco for creating the show. Thanks to all the other stars who became their characters for us to enjoy. Especially Frank Grillo who made Marty Russo so deliciously real.

Viva Blind Justice! Viva Beyond Justice!

Hear, hear, Mouse! I agree that the lasting friendships that have formed are the very best result of this terrific show. Happy anniversary, everyone!

Happy Anniversary All. On the West Coast only two more hours to start the Tivo and relive the poignant pilot episode. Applause to Shmeep, Housemouse and everyone who has helped to keep the memories alive this past year and expand the horizons on what could have been. Thank you sooo much.

one year ago today, i was at my sister-in-law's suprise 40th birthday party, not knowing when i would be home, so i taped the pilot of b/j,, but after watching it,, like an idiot, i taped over it,, but i did get it later w/ the first 7 episodes off eBay,, but,, i never realized until i was watching all your talented videos, that i am missing some vital seconds of the opening gun fight

this yr has indeed been a very tough year for me, individually, physically, and emotionally
i have been able to open up with rants and fears and concerns and christmas recipes ( and cooking snafu's ) with people that only harass me because of my multi comma style

that said,,, you all are great,, and when we have our turn to come to nyc and see THE play, i look forward to meeting as many of you as i can,, nite all,,,

One year ago I saw my first promo for Blind Justice on the day that it aired. I had not heard of it before that nor seen any promos for it. Thinking it looked interesting, I tuned in and am I glad I did! I was absolutely blown away by the very first episode and found myself thinking about it until the next Tuesday. I then looked forward to Tuesday and I don't know why but I did not tape any . When it got to about the 8th episode I ordered them on dvd from the guy on ebay. And like you Dogma his dvd did leave out about a full minute of the opening. I think Lori posted the whole opening somewhere, if I am not mistaken, so I finally saw it all. It was while watching Lori's L'Ultimo Re video that I realized there was some of the bank robbery that I had not seen.
I too feel one of the biggest perks of B/J has been meeting everyone on this board. I have had such a good time in the past year. I look forward each day to see what is going on on the board and sharing all our everyday trials and triumphs. I have made friendships that I know will last a lifetime. I really am looking forward to meeting some fellow board members this weekend, and hope that the day comes when we can all meet and do a B/J bus tour. Right now the highlights of the weekend will be getting together and finally meeting and of course seeing our guy in Doubt. But this board has been the most fun.

The 8th of March, 2006 was the day of the finale here in Australia. Which I found both special and an odd coincidence.

It began here on November 30th, 2005. I was on the phone to my best friend at the time and for some unknown reason, we decided to 'watch' this new show together. Both interested, but also slightly skeptical about the idea of a blind detective (though I have always maintained that a blind Detective does have his uses, as his other senses are heightened), and when he had a gun, well, we laughed. But there was something about this show; the characters and their intereactions; the atmosphere it had. In short, we were both hooked by the end of the first episode and for every airing thereafter we 'watched' it over the phone.
It didn't take long before obsession kicked in and we began driving our other firends slightly bonkers with all our talk of 'Blindman Jim' (as we affectionately called the show and it's lead).
For some unknown reason though, we both only started taping from the 8th episode onwards!

While it's only been mere days since I saw the last episode, I know there's going to be something missing come next Wednesday and each Wednesday thereafter.
BUT it has opened up new doors, one of those being the door to communities like this one and a nice obsession with Ron Eldard.

I'm glad you're over here, Forensic Paws! I have a feeling you'll keep us on our toes. Plus, it's great fun to gather in some more fans from such a faraway place and to know that what intrigued us intrigues you as well. Thanks for participating!

Hope you don't mind, but I gave you an avatar. Feel free to change it if you like, but I thought Jimmy looked might fine in that picture.
