Harry Hamlinsnagged three Golden Globe nominations during his five-season run onL.A. Law, but that doesn’t mean the actor was in any hurry to watch his work.
Hamlin, who played attorney Michael Kuzak on NBC’s legal drama, appeared onLive with Kelly and Markon Tuesday to promoteIn the Kitchen with Harry Hamlin: A Holiday Special.
WhenMark Consuelospointed out that the show is “back in the zeitgeist” thanks to Hulu’s remastered rerelease of the series on Nov. 3, Hamlin admitted he is only now taking the time to watch the series.
“I never saw it because at the time, my wife [Laura Johnson] was always on another show on another network at the exact same time,” he explained. “So it was like, ‘Do we watch her show, do we watch my show?’ We went out to dinner instead. We didn’t have a VCR.”

Hamlin, 72, added that althoughL.A. Lawfeatured technology that is now outdated, the series still holds up.
“It’s amazing! It’s like a period show. There’s no computers in it. We’re using typewriters,” he said, adding, “No cell phones. There’s a car phone in one scene. It’s like going back in time, and it works like crazy.”
