Boston Legal - Season 2

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). BOSTON LEGAL revolves around the Boston litigation law firm of Crane, Poole, & Schmidt, 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. The firm is rounded out by Shirley Schmidt, a lawyer who joined the firm despite having a past with both Crane and Shore, as well as Brad Chase (Mark Valley), Denise Bauer (Julile Bowen), and Jeffrey Coho (Craig Bierko).

		(03/01/2007, p.107, Paul Spragg): 4 stars out of 5 -- "[M]ore of the thought-provoking legal cases laced with off-the-wall and self-referential humour that make BL such a joy to watch."
