Ah, for the first time in a while we have a show that is, sadly to say, not on the air anymore for # 8 in our countdown.
My Top TV Shows #8: Boston Legal
Oh, I still remember watching this show regularly on Tuesday nights. It was a show that my entire family loved to watch together.
Sadly, whenever I seem to mention this show to others, it is received with the same, uncertain response. Does nobody remember this show? Of course, it was on 6ABC, and I know that that network is not as popular as the other ones, but still. Boston Legal was amazing program!
The show co-starred William Shatner and James Spader as best friends and lawyers at a big law firm. The show walked the fine line between a drama as a comedy series as the show was as humorous as it was dramatic. Shatner and Spader were both brilliant in their roles and , although, both had their comedic sides, they were serious and very good at their jobs. My favorite part of any episode would be when Spader delivers a closing argument. He had that cocky sense about him, but he was vicious and sharp when he had to be. I mean Spader won 2 Emmy’s and was nominated for a third during his performance on the show. Shatner one-upped his co-star registering 4 nominations and a win himself.
I could mention the other cast, which included the delightful, Candice Bergen. (who was nominated twice for her role) However, the primary of the show were the two best friends and their interactions.
If you have any interest in lawyer shows, or have a sense of humor, I would recommend that you view this program. Season 2 was probably the best season, but any of the seasons will do.
Watch and Enjoy!
