Boston Legal: Guantanamo by the Bay

Filed under: Boston Legal, Episode Reviews(S03E22) The opening of that episode made me laugh out loud all through the entire credits. So brilliant.
The line of the night had to be, “Human rights are so yesterday.” I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Having Denny and Alan work on that case toget…

Boston Legal: Tea and Sympathy

Very few humans can play those parts as funny and as sensitively as he. Filed under: Boston Legal, Episode Reviews(S03E21) James Spader is the luckiest sonofabitch on the planet! How about Joey Slotnick in the kind of role he was born to play. Kelley has been monitoring my thoughts. More Gail O’…

Boston Legal: Guise ‘n Dolls


Let’s start with the guest cast. So many standout performances, not to mention one of the most brilliant scripts I have seen in a distant instance. Ever since he played Socrates Poole he has struck me as a hard working actor and I am always amazed at his ability to portray characters that are hil…

Boston Legal’s Julie Bowen has a boy

They named the boy Oliver McLanahan Phillips.As we saw in the most recent BL episode, Bowen was pretty far along, but still a few months away.

Boston Legal: Brotherly Love

What I had forgotten is what a fine actor he is. His flashback scenes, in specific, were very good.
The flashbacks reminded me of another reason I love that show. Well done.
On a scale of one to seven, I give that episode a five. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blog…

Stump the King — what series was that?

Good luck.Joe Penny, who played Nick Ryder on Riptide, guest starred on a series where they used clips of Riptide as flashbacks to his career.

Boston Legal: Son of The Defender

Filed under: Boston Legal, Celebrities, Episode Reviews(S03E18) that is why television was invented.
I hardly know where to start. For those of you who foolishly didn’t watch, the biggest deal in tonight’s episode was that actual footage of a very young William Shatner is used for a series of flash…

Old Shatner to seem with young Shatner on Boston Legal

That means that the 76-year-old Shatner will be paired with the 26-year-old Shatner all through the show.

Boston Legal: The Bride Wore Blood

The only thing lost was more Shatner. As I have already stated, I am a huge fan of Shatner and he is a big reason why I watch that show. An episode of Boston Legal without William Shatner is like an episode of Boston Public without Joey Slotnick or Boston Common without Anthony Clarke.
The show co…

Boston Legal: The Nutcrackers

Boston Legal and Ugly Betty add members to already bulging casts

On the show she’ll play Vanessa Walker, a meticulous associate from the New York office of Crane, Poole & Schmidt who requests the assistance of our dear Alan Shore. Didn’t Jeffrey Coho and Claire Simms come from the New York office? His next appearance will be in that evening’s broadcast. Of…
