Multiple Emmy-winner Bochco and the cast of Raising the Bar - Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jane Kaczmarek and Gloria Reuben and the show co-creator, lawyer-writer David Feige - were part of a panel on the new show.

At the panel, Michael Wright, senior vice president of Turner Entertainment Networks’ Content Creation Group, said that legal, medical and police shows all entail strong characters and conflict, which makes for good dramatic fodder for the network.

To cap her show’s panel, Kaczmarek said that she looks forward to attending TNT events, because of Wright.

“He’s so cute,” she said.

TNT had some fun with these badges.
