What do people think of Boston Legal? I just rented the dvds for the first 8 shows and wonder

how the series is.

1. I used to LOVE it. Shatner's best role ever, I think.

Well-written. Funny. Adult. Extremely interesting ethical/social dilemmas.

I loved the cigar-smoking endings out on the terrace.

2. Loved, loved, loved the show!

I cried when it ended and catch it on TV whenever I have a chance. I'm going to have to get the DVDs because I know there are lots of episodes I missed or only saw partially.

Had never been a big fan of James Spader but I just loved him in this show and Shatner was superb! Enjoy your DVDs!

3. Oh great. I'll look forward to it then.

5. Its very good

My favorite episode, well...the one that sticks out to me was the season opener of season II, I think it was called "Nimmo Bay."

Its a fishing/hunting resort that Denny and Alan visit, and the shenanigans were down right funny. I loved the series, I wish it didn't die off, but I do admit some of the source material in Season 4, and 5 started to be pretty ludicrous.

6. At the beginning I liked it

then later I just really didn't. Can't go wrong with the first season, though.

7. Brilliant.

Sure, some of the storylines were a little out there, but the political and social commentary was amazing.

I mean, where else are you going to see Antonin Scalia performing a gay marriage ceremony?

I'd buy the whole thing on DVD in a flash if I had the $.

8. It's also helpful to check out the final season of 'The Practice'

although I'm not sure if it's on DVD (sorry). It was Spader's introduction as Alan Shore which led to (no spoilers) his teaming with Denny Crane.

I loved BL. Improbable (at times) but compelling story lines and it is funny as hell!
