Boston Legal Review Summary
Our reviewers had a lot of different ways of describing the tv show Boston Legal "outrageously over the top weirdness and social commentary", "humorously serious", "a though provoking show that's funny too" and "The absolute best show on TV". One thing they agree on, it's worth watching. Starring James Spade, William Shatner and Candace Bergen (to name a few), this show focuses on "presenting issues the news doesn't even want to address and (does) it in a way that, whether you agree or disagree, you're drawn in." Our reviewers suggest getting up-to-date by renting previous episodes of the series via websites such as Netflix or Blockbuster Online.

The stars are real stars, it's amazing to see them all on one show.
It seems that this will be the last season of Boston Legal and the writers are having a fun time with that, writing funny things into the script like, what if this is our last year together? And, we just need a better time slot.

I love this show! One of my favorite things is that the current debates and concerns expressed in the nation and the world are expressed in the show. The show doesn't only show one side of the debate; it shows both.
As much as I like the show, I do not consider it a family show. Mature teenagers might be able to handle it. However, younger children or immature teens may not be able to stay with their own beliefs. This show may influence too much for the younger age group.

I absolutely love Boston Legal. This show has succeeded at presenting issues the news doesn't even want to address, and do it in a way that, whether you agree or disagree, you're drawn in and actually think about it while following the story line.....which is also quirky fun and enjoyable to watch. I'd started to think reruns of MASH would be the closest we'd ever get to that kind of writing and production. I hope they keep it up!

For me William Shatner is reason enough to watch this show. However, if you're not a Shatner head like myself there's the great writing, cast, humor, and so on. It's a great sho all around. And it has Shatner.
David E. Kelley's spin off from "The Practice" zoomed up the TV charts with a rich cast including James Spader, Candice Bergen and of course William Shatner. (Beam me up Scotty!) Along with the suspenseful endings known in "The Practice", David Kelley now tosses in humor, and sexual tension so thick you need a steak knife to cut it.
Alan Shore (James Spader) and Denny Crane (William Shatner) have become fast friends with at least three things in common; cigars, Scotch and women. Neither one of them are able to keep their pants on around a good looking woman. But in the courtroom, both are able...

Boston Legal is the bomb diggity! This show combines the funniest stuff you will ever see. I laugh everytime no matter what when this show is on. You never know what they are going to do next. I can't believe this is the last season, but I love watching the reruns too...If you haven't seen it and you love comedy which combines sex and politics and a lot of other subjects this is for you. You will think differently of lawyers for sure and they always seem to bring up good points about what they are fighting for in the courtroom to make you think, but make it fun too! Gotta watch it!
Boston Legal is a wonderful drama that puts a comedic spin on current events. It really showcases issues that are being debated on in the real world right now while adding humor and comedy to make the plot line flow.
The show features such names as William Shatner as the hilarious, over-the-top, eccentric - Denny Crane; James Spader as the brilliant, opinionated, best friend of Denny - Alan Shore; and Candace Bergern as the smart, serious, female lead - Shirley Schmitt.
Definitely a must-see!
Boston Legal did not start out as a comedy . But with the addition of William Shatner and Candice Bergen the writing changed. James Spader and William Shatner are todays "Odd Couple". They are hilarious, fun loving, irreverent, sensitive to each other and strange. Just like the rest of us. EVERYONE should watch this show for abit of comic relief from the day to day grind. ENJOY!!!!!!!!
