Boston Legal - "Fat Burner" - 2/13/07

"Fat Burner"
Spoiler:
Alan again defends Denny, who has been arrested for illegally shipping human fat out of the country; Clarence tries his first case, a homicide, with Bethany and Paul's help; a member of the firm bids farewell.

If things keep going the way they are, it's going to be "Burning through cast members" pretty soon..

I will admit to actually enjoying it when members leave, and people drift away. It makes it feel as though it is somehow more "real" than it would be otherwise. I know that, at least in my life, people quit the job in which I work now and again. We get new people now and again. And people drift in and out of my life at times.

A rotating cast is agreeable for me...

(Randy Newman. Uncle Bill. Damned good stuff.)

I watch this show "live", and I normally pay attention, but for the past two weeks, it doesn't really have my attention...

I liked the looks Dr. Fever and Alan gave the DA whenever he objected to Alan's closing

The ending of Denny's "Uncle Bill" story along with Alan's peek at the jury cracked me up.

Certainly a very interesting legal team Clarence put together.

The Buzz suit was indeed the way to make an exit. Goofy stuff.

I'm not sure what the hell this show is about anymore ... but it still gives me a couple of good belly laughs each week. Perhaps it's really a 1/2-hour sitcom masquerading as an hourlong drama ... ?

I like how this show plays with the 4th wall in most of the episodes. Plus, how the hell do we go from medical waste/fat transport to an indictment on Big Oil? Only on Boston Legal does stuff like this happen.

Ya think? I've been saying it's a comedy (and should be nominated as such) ever since it came on the air.

I love this show! Actors can come and go as long as Spader and Shatner stay.
