   I used to have JAG back when I had cable. A *few* decent episodes,   
   IIRC. There was one about an aging sniper who had some creative ways   
   of getting his discharge papers ahead of time, which springs to mind.   
   In general though, I agree, it was too much of a chick flick to bother   
   to follow. The leading lady was pretty hot though :P   
      
   It's kinda sad though, that the American TV industry seems to pick up   
   the 'if it's done before we'll do it again' trend from Hollywood.
