    Boston legal...who watches it ...who likes it?

    I absolutely love Boston Legal.......love the acting, especially James Spader and William Shatner......I don't think he could pull off the things with Spock that he pulls off with Alan Shore.
    Now tell me what you think.

    Absolutely love it! I've seen all five series now and start to finish it's been one of the best programmes ever made for TV.

    Re: Boston legal...who watches it ...who likes it?

    It's a brilliant legal drama/comedy, won a ton of emmys. As the OP said, William Shatner in probably his best ever role, perfectly matched with James Spader in the greatest bromance ever told

    Actually it's not... the dynamic between the Shatner/Spader is awesome to watch, spanning the gamut of experiences from sharing a bed to shooting one another, with a ton on women and cigars on the side.

    Good ending though, if it had to go I can't think of a much better way of doing it!

    Re: Boston legal...who watches it ...who likes it?

    I've seen a few episodes and they are quite funny, especially William Shatner. Some of the stuff he pulls off in the episodes had me laughing quite a lot at times.

    Loved it, especially where they would drop random real life stuff in there.
    Or the otherside where Denny turned round to someone once and said I used to own my own starship...

    They were very good at breaking the fourth wall in quite subtle (and not so subtle) ways like that, especially in the fifth season when they all knew they were on the way out anyway.

    Yeah they did have alot of fun with that. The wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_...he_fourth_wall states all the times when they break the fourth wall. I think my favourite is Carl Sack in season 5's "Juiced", probably the most blatant way to break the wall on TV I've seen.

    Totally agree though guys an awesome show which I think lasted just long enough, a show that didn't over stay its welcome but yet we were all still sad to see it go. And yes the bromance on this show even surpasses that of JD and Turk on Scrubs which is saying something.
