A really bad show….

I agree with 99% of your post. The only thing I disagree with of course is about Mia Sara as Harley Quinn. I don't think she did an awful job and actually did a great crazy woman. For some reason she didn't seem like Harley Quinn to me though. I think Mia Sara is an awesome actress and is still stunningly beautiful. For me it was just an odd casting choice. But I will say that she did really awesome in the final episode.
Oh, yeah, Mia did do an incredible job as a 'crazy woman', as you put it. For me, though, I have no other context for Harley than what I've seen on BoP, Gotham Girls, and a few very minor references from comics sources. If Harley's supposed to be a crazy psychopath 'bitch', (as Helena calls her in Devil Eyes), then I think that pretty much makes Mia's casting choice a sound one. Makes me wonder, then, how different the series would have been had Sherilynn Fenn remained as Harley. Ah, well. Water well under the bridge at this point.

Yeah, we'll never know. I'm in no way at all putting Mia Sara down because I adore her.
You should check into watching BTAS. It sounds like you might be someone who would enjoy it. There are some great episodes with Harley Quinn in there as well. Particularly Harley & Ivy from Season 2. -

I've seen a handful of B:TAS episodes, but none where I can recall specifically seeing Harley or Ivy.
I'm one of those weird people that read about TV shows, but rarely watch them, unless I have a really good reason to. (Might also have something to do with the fact that I refuse to pay for cable/satellite TV).
If I can catch a few on-line, I might do it. (and you didn't read that last sentence).
If I like it enough and it's available, I'll even buy it on DVD.
Thanks for the recommendation!

I thought the production was a bit poor. How many times did they use that same alley way/ street area throughout the series? And come on, it was very obvious that the set for New Gotham High was also the same set for the abandoned hospital. I thought that Dina as Oracle was great and thank God we didn't have to see that frilly, lacy, see-through cape mess that Huntress wore after that first episode.
