Boston Legal - "The Good Lawyer" - 2/20/07

"The Good Lawyer"
Spoiler:
Alan represents two clients, a woman who stole her late father's body from a museum and a cognitive therapist fired from his job for imparting his belief in UFOs to his patients.

The Denny stuff was mildly funny, the rest wasn't interesting.

Poor Jerry.

Alan destroyed him.

Guess Shirley took the week off.

Not really feeling the whole Clarence/Clarice/Oprah relationship sl.

I agree with the okay episode sentiments. I wasn't into the trials, and I didn't care for the new Jerry as much as I liked the old one (boy did Alan get to him, though). Still, some funny stuff. I kinda missed Jeffery Coho, too.

I noticed there was no "next on Boston Legal" at the end of the episode. They usually still do it when there wont be an episode for two weeks or so. Are we going to be without an episode for the next month or so now?

Agreed. The show just hasn't been doing much for me lately. I hope I'm not reaching the burnout point that comes with every DEK series I've watched.

Man, Alan was brutal.

Apart from the whole "Denise goes hormonal" subplot, I thought this was a solid ep. Glad to see the back of the hedgehog. She was really getting on my nerves.

The bulk of the episode was kinda blah for me, but to see a reminder of how hardcore an attorney Alan can be (a la "The Practice") was chilling.

Brad was over the top toolish. Denny was okay. Alan was excellent....until the second closing. Getting tired of the long preachy closings, but it comes with the territory.

Keeping up with 'Boston Legal'
ZAP2IT.COM
Tuesday, Feb. 20 2007

Spoiler:
Megan Mullally will play a former girlfriend of Alan Shore (James Spader) in an
episode of "Boston Legal" later this season.

ABC says viewers will meet her character, Renata Hall, "as she dashes down the
courthouse hallway wearing a bloody wedding gown, carrying a bloody pair of
scissors and proclaiming her innocence in the murder of her betrothed."


Meanwhile, "Boston Legal" cast member Mark Valley (Brad Chase) has signed with
NBC as one of two leads for the comedy pilot "Business Class."

Valley will play an amoral salesman in "Business Class," a comedy from
"Simpsons" veterans Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein. The show centers on two
rival salesmen who live their lives on the road.

Before "Boston Legal," Valley starred in the cult favorite action-comedy "Keen
Eddie." No word on whether he'd leave "Boston" if NBC picked up the new show.

I didn't think this was really worthy of it's own thread, so......

I saw that FX was quickly approaching the final season of The Practice during it's M-F 8/7AM showing. I had only seen the Denny Crane episodes during it's initial run and wanted to catch-up on the complete Alan Shore final season.

I checked the TiVo again yesterday only to find out they're starting from the pilot and completely passing over the Alan Shore year.

Do you think the syndication package prevents them from playing this season because of Boston Legal? Or what would be the reason?

I've seen the final season on FX before. They've went through the entire run of episodes at least three times. Sorry, you didn't get to see the final season.

Well, crap. That's just my luck, I guess.
