Editor's Note
BOSTON LEGAL, a wry courtroom television show that walks the line between drama and comedy, is the creation of perennial hit-maker David E. Kelly (ALLY MCBEAL, PICKET FENCES). The series revolves around the Boston litigation law firm of Crane, Poole, & Schmidt, and in particular, two eccentric and flawed attorneys, Alan Shore and Denny Crane. Shore, an unscrupulous and wily ambulance-chaser and womanizer (played with sly charm by James Spader), finds an uneasy alliance with Crane, a bombastic, self-aggrandizing, and occasionally batty elder lawyer (William Shatner in an Emmy-winning performance). Despite their ethical and emotional deficiencies, Shore and Crane usually find themselves fighting on the right side, as they take up cases that no one else is willing to touch. Candice Bergen also stars as Shirley Schmidt, a lawyer who joined the firm despite having some past history with both Crane and Shore. Comely partner Denise Bauer-Chase (Julie Bowen) returns from maternity leave for this exceptional fifth and final season of BOSTON LEGAL.

Returning to the Emmy-award winning series for one final fling in the courtroom are stars James Spader, William Shatner, Candice Bergen, John Larroquette, Christian Clemenson, and Tara Summers. It's last call for the gang at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, the reputedly "prestigious" law firm in the Massachusetts capital of Boston. The firm is going broke (an unfortunate victim of the economy) and could very well wind up being bought out by the Chinese....read the full review |
