Boston Legal

This episode proves that they are running out of ideas to pull tricks and ploys so unbecoming of a series that used to be interesting, smart and savy. There was only a couple of points that were good and they were Alan Shore and his speech and Candice Bergen. That's it a total amount of 5 minutes! Get rid of the deadwood if you want to save the show!

I loved this episode, despite it not being quite as good as some of the others this Season.



I think I overlooked Season 3- in previous reviews I commented on how Season 2 was the strongest, but I think I may have to reevaluate that- Season 3 packed such a punch I forgot.



Denny's case was funny, and provided some great amusement. Not being American, I am not sure how correct many of Alan's statements actually were, but if they were true the system, as pointed out, was pretty stupid! I loved when he got everybody to stand up at one point!



It was also hilarious when Alan started smelling sex on Denise- quite amusing indeed! Although I think Denise's character is being somewhat underminded at the moment.



Claire however, became one of my favourites, and her budding relationship with Clarence (who amusingly turns up as Oprah) is one of the highlights of Season 3.



The case involving the school teacher was also very poignant, a reminded to people in America and my own country that teachers are beginning to be taken for granted, hence the high turnover.



Another brilliantly written episode.

In this episode Alan finally gets it on with Denise but finds all does not go well. Meanwhile Alan and Denny sue the government for accusing Denny of being a terrorist and stopping him from flying on planes.



Also Shirley and the new woman have acase against a child who died over eating peanuts in the classroom while the teacher has her back turned.



This episode had a lot to do with relationships especally with Denise. Also Claire and Clairance get a little closer in this episode which i liked overall everyone won and the episode had a good ending the trailer for next week looks great.

The third season of Boston Legal has been a big decline in quality from the first two seasons. When this was one of the better episodes of the season, it really shows me that this show is pretty much just going through the motions. There were some fun moments in this episode, like when Denny proposes they blow something up to prove that he's not a terrorist, and I thought Shirley and Vanessa's case with the teacher had a lot of good moments. Because of these moments, I still watch Boston Legal, but it is no longer my favorite show. But, too much of the episode was just left wing preaching against No Child Left Behind and Homeland Security. Granted, I agree with a lot of these thoughts, but I don't need to be bashed over the head with them.



While typically, I enjoy the Clair and Clarence storyline, the Oprah thing was really dumb, and really took away from the quality of the show. And this stuff with Denise is just dragging on now.

A big reason I watch this show is the interplay between Denny and Alan. This show gave me that. Their differences with respect to government are put aside and a very good point is made in the process. Technology has given us the ability to do so much, why is it that the government isn't able to take advantage of it?



On the minus side, I am really starting to dislike the Denise character. Michael J. FOx added a lot to the show and he character's depth when they got together. Ever since, her content has gone down hill. Which is a shame, because the acting is good, just the character is bad.





Overall, great show. Lots of laughs and a hilarious ending.



Great!!!
