William Shatner is hilarious.

James Spader is deliciously perverse.

The women are all hot.

Rene Auberjonois is in it too.

What more needs to be said?

Watch it.

No thanks. I hate David E. Kelley and all he does.

You're a lawyer, aren't you?  Of course you hate it.  The husband of a good friend of mine used to literally sputter and spit watching LA Law.  His wife loved the show and insisted on watching it.  I didn't much care for it but used to watch it with them because he made it so fun.

I do like Boston Legal, however.  It makes me laugh all on it's own.  It's the best thing Captain Kirk every did... although that's not saying much.  It suits James Spader, too.  

Having said that, you don't have to have any legal training at all to understand all the rules they're breaking during every episode.  I can see how someone who does related work might get a bit hot under the collar.  It does nothing to advance the reputation of lawyers.

I wouldn't watch this if you paid me in naked Lindsay Lohans.  The commercials for this one play straight to the LCD.  They make Fear Factor previews look classy in comparison.

David E. Kelly, *shudders*.  Anything he touches is shit.

I'm the opposite of you, I WOULD watch it ESPECIALLY if I was being paid in naked Lindsay Lohans.  Thank you, now that is all I can think about...a new form of currency.

I don't know who Lindsay Lohan is, but I find the show amusing.  I've only seen it a couple of times though... I'm sure it'll get stale quickly, like most of Kelley's stuff.  They are usually only momentarily interesting.

The only show that I actually look for, lately, is Desperate Housewives.  It reminds me of the neighbourhood I grew up in.

She was the little red-headed girl in the remake in the parent trap, and more recently Mean Girls. Currently she's about to get dumped by the guy who plays Fez on 70's Show because now that she's finally turned 18 this year, he'll be looking for another undearge actress in the string of them he's somehow managed to get away with fucking and still have a career. When She's not doing that, she's a skanky, out-of-control crybaby whore. I wouldn't fuck her with Bruce's dick. Which isn't suprising since he wouldn't fuck her either unless she was 1) Actually a man, and 2)In a dog suit, and 3) An actual dog inside of a larger dog suit.

Bob is just angry because he doesn't have a dick of his own to fuck anything with, much less Lindsay Lohan.

Back to the topic...  I agree, Boston Legal is hilarious.  I've been torrenting it and watching it via the TV-out on my machine, and it's just a great, very funny show.  I especially like Spader's character.  I think he's one of the few good examples of someone who is neutral evil... in that he does the wrong things, for his own reasons.

Just caught this (http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=televisionNews&storyID=6948770). I don't care, but others of you may.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - In her first series regular role since her Emmy-winning turn on CBS' "Murphy Brown," Candice Bergen has joined the cast of ABC's freshman drama "Boston Legal."

That's just it - I don't think he's evil at all!  He's more like Chaotic Neutral, or a misguided Chaotic Good.  They've actually toned his character down slightly from "The Practice" to make him a little more likeable.  Whereas the other lawyers are usually angsty about conflicts between their legal ethics and "doing the right thing", Spader has no doubts at all about what the right thing is and has no respect for any rules that get in his way.  But this often results in him seemingly self-destructing.

I can certainly relate.

Quote from: Reuters

Meanwhile, co-star Lake Bell's option is not expected to be picked up beyond the show's first 13 episodes. The actress plays young attorney Sally Heep.


That's too bad, because I think Sally is very hot.  But I guess now that Alan has chosen Tara, and they are introducing yet another female character, it was pointless to have Sally hanging around.  Good thing Joss Whedon isn't making this series; he would just keep adding more characters until he could justify another spin-off!
