Last night's 'Boston Legal': No, no, NO!! (Warning: spoiler within)
:rant:

Okay, last week "Gracie Ann" (BL's Nancy Grace equivalent) got clubbed with a shovel and the viewer is led to believe that she's been killed. One problem: she wasn't. Boston Legal is one of my favorite current shows, but that character gets on every last inch of my nerves. Am I the only fan who feels that way? She's been on every damned episode this season, iirc, but imho she really needs to go. Permanently.

/rant

Okay, I feel better now. :)

2. My wife and I just got into that show
Literally like last week.

Too funny. I have it TiVo'ed but what happens isn't all that important I just love watching people with way too much money who know they can't get sued completely living in their id.

6. Seasons 1 and 2 are available on DVD
Edited on Wed Nov-29-06 05:27 PM by Rob H.
Might be a worthwhile rental for you and Mrs. underpants. Season 1 is only 17 episodes, though, since Grey's Anatomy took over its time slot toward the end of the first season.

Alan and Denny's relationship is one of the things that makes the show one of my favorites, along with the occasional winks at the audience that show up every so often. (Denny meets two new lawyers who've just been hired at the firm and says,"They can't be new, otherwise their names would be in the credits. Roll music!" and Alan, on seeing Denny after a busy couple of days in court, says,"Ah, Denny, I've hardly seen you this episode.")


Edit: shpelling :P

3. Thought she was a funny
addition. They did capture the "awful and irritating" factor, which is what made it so funny.
She's like Nanny Grace - you just can't get rid of her - no matter what.

4. The best show on TV
I can't remember if it was Sundays episode or Tuesdays but the scene where Alan is holding up the cue cards for Denny to read made me LMFAO!

7. Heh, I happened upon Glenn Beck's shitty radio show yesterday on the way to school
He was frothing at the mouth over the obvious parody of that foul bitch, Nancy Grace. Said she should sue the producers of the show for defamation, slander, etc. Fucking hilarious, he was :rofl:

Now if I could only find time to watch it :cry:

9. I so dig the man/love relationship between Spader & Shatner characters
The cue cards scene was hilarious and the fact that they all let us know that they know they're just characters on a tv show. Periodic referrals to scripts, future epidodes is so clever and funny.

The Nancy Grace character is supposed to be annoying, just like she is. God, I love that show.

10. OMG....I love the way they are parodying the real Nancy Grace
I would like to think it like fingernails on a blackboard for the real NG.
