What are the Best Seasons of Ally Mcbeal ?
I did used to watch it the first time it aired, but can't remember it too well
Someone lent me the first season. I watched 3 episodes and found it a bit annoying.
I do recall it improved a lot when Billy left.
What were the best seasons ? and which ones focused a bit more on the legal cases rather than Ally's dire personal life ?

The early seasons.
Like most DEK shows, this one petered out towards the end. The last couple of seasons were pretty crappy.
How did you get this show on DVD? I am jealous.

Then in the last season we had Bon Jovi and Hayden Panettiere shows up as her daughter! I remember being shocked when Heroes started to learn that the hot cheerleader was the little girl on Ally.

Jon Bon Jovi and Hayden Panettiere could not save it by season 5, and it was thankfully terminated.
R. Downey Jr. really made it worth watching again. It's a real shame that his problems prevented the continuation of that storyline.
I did buy Season 1 (R2), and have been enjoying that. It's still listed for $16.88 using the $2 discount link at CD-Wow. Although, lately it's been pretty hit or miss with CD-Wow orders. The rest of the seasons are listed there for $27.82, or you can get the entire set from amazon.co.uk for about $130. I expect to see that set with a greater discount in the future.

Seasons 1-2 are by far the best. Season 3 was really bad as David E. Kelly has a terrible habit of continually introducing new characters and ignoring previous ones. Season 4 brought in Robert Downey, Jr. and the show briefly improved but he was turfed and the final Season 5 was an abomination.
