The (Better) Practice

10:23 pm 10/25/05

There is no finer program currently airing on network television than “Boston Legal.” Tonight’s episode was, as always, outstanding. Alan Shore breaking into song at the restaurant on the subject of fishing; Denny Crane apologizing to the associate by calling her a “chubbette”; the opening testimony by Denise Bauer that earned a fast settlement by the defendant; and the final scene, with Alan and Denny puffing cigars on the balcony, that formally announced their friendship. I think my favorite line was when someone asked how Alan was doing (following his restaurant incident)…the reply was, “I think he wants to spawn.”

And did you know that there’s an unoffical “Boston Legal” fansite, complete with lotsa links and even podcasts? Wheeeee!

  1. And illustrative of the paradoxical drama, then comedy, of Boston Legal, we have this dialogue:

    Alan: You know, Ralph Waldo Emereson said he reckoned a friend to be the masterpiece of nature. I’m not sure I truly understood that before I met you, Denny.

    Denny: I’m not having sex with you.

    This, with a cigar in his mouth and one in his ear. It’s one part Dostevsky and one part Marx (Brothers).

    Thank you for noticing my site and podcasts! You made me very happy!

  2. I never thought I’d ever live to hear Betty White say, “I’ve been Schmitt-canned”!

    DENNY CRANE, ‘EH!
