* CureYourGays: The pilot episode was shuffled around and eventually buried, as it dealt with the consequences of a pre-natal procedure that could reduce the chances of a child being born gay (most parents decided to have their kids born "normal," and the gay community was undergoing a slow withering). While the episode eventually concluded with a GayAesop, the subtext was hinky as all hell.

* DesignerBabies: A genetic fertility specialist is sued for having his clients end up with homosexual babies.

* JackieRobinsonStory: Love And Games, with a Bionic eyed baseball player trying to make it to the leagues via an appeal, as league rules don't allow bionics to play because of the unfair advantage.

* SassyBlackWoman: Pretty much averted. Hannah Crane, the lead partner of the firm, is a DeadpanSnarker, but that's it. The actress actually commented on her inability to play this role.

A noble but doomed effort to do ''ThePractice'' [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture twenty minutes into the future]].
