Customer Rating:      Summary: boston legal season 4 Comment: we love the show and is sad that it went off the air. we are collecting the whole set of dvd's of the show,
Customer Rating:      Summary: Review of DVD Comment: We have all the previous Boston Legal series and are still enjoying this "spoof". However, they are going further to the left than even before and I, having been in the legal profession, understand that none of their antics in court would be tolerated nor the cases won. The acting continues to be great and the addition of new cast members is equally great. It is a good comedy with a message!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Another good season Comment: ...but the characters and the plots are starting to slug along. I like the addition of John Larroquette, but after a two episodes it was clear that Mr. Kelley didn't have anywhere really to go with the character. I continue to be amazed that Brad is even a part of this crew-we've only seen him in court maybe twice. Shatner, Spader and Bergen are the true gems at this law firm. Though the cases are often left-wing sermons, it's still a good show.
Customer Rating:      Summary: One of The Classic T.V. Series.....continues to entertain! Comment: I am a picky T.V. viewer. Too much of the slop on the airwaves today (including cable!) is not worth our attention. Add to that fact that the writing seems geared for teenagers bores me to tears. Along comes David E. Kelly and his co-horts, add to the mix the outstanding cast that is "Boston Legal" and you have a winner. Comedy and Drama co-existing in a well written and well acted T.V. series that is geared towards an adult audience.
There are so many great episodes in this collection. Amongst my favorites:
1.) The Chicken and the Leg
How this made it to the airwaves is beyond me. Just keep a straight
face as the Nun, interpreting for a defendant, explains "things." If
you don't laugh out loud........have someone check your pulse.
2.) Green Christmas
An episode that is funny and poignant.
3.) Tabloid Nation
Shows the power of it's dramatic side and a little hilarious part
where Denny "sheds" tears for Shirley.
4.) The Mighty Rogues
An episode that characterizes the real and tragic world of Alzheimer's
while putting in a perspective we can all relate to.
There are, of course, many, many more fine episodes. All of which you're sure to enjoy. This is a definate winner.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Pleasant Surprise Comment: I didn't get to see most of these shows when they were originally broadcast, and I had wondered if the series was beginning to wear out, but no, when I did finally get the time to work my way through this fourth season I was pleasantly surprised. The wackiness was still there, and the pointed topics were still as sharp as ever. The Supreme Court episode was so clearly the manifestation of what David E. Kelley would like to say to the Court if he ever had the chance - which was pretty much what I would like to say to the Court. Outrageous, but right on target, like so many of B.L.'s episodes. I am constantly amazed at how William Shatner's character is developing over time, and Shatner's acting is wonderful. He says more with his facial expressions than many actors can say with their voices. He's come a long way from Star Trek days. While there have been some great woman characters on the show, IMO there still hasn't been a woman character who stands equal to Denny Crane or Alan Shore. Even Candace Bergan's character hasn't been written to the depth and strength of the others. But even so, this show remains one of my favorites and I have watched the DVD's through several times and haven't tired of it yet.
