Much like all of David E. Kelley's shows, Boston Legal had a strong debut but will most likely be entertaining for 2 years maximum and then move into the sublime, see The Practice or Boston Public for examples. However, getting back to the strong debut, James Spader and Will Shatner together is fucking genius. Spader is essentially playing a variation of his Secretary character, which I hear is what he was playing on the last year of The Practice. Having given up on the Practice years ago, I'm sorry to say I hadn't seen this fine performance until tonight. Apparently Spader was so good, he got an Emmy as did Shatner I think for playing the same lawyer on a couple episodes of the Practice or some shit like that. Kudos to you both.
Anyway, there are 3 rather attractive women on the show if the hammy-ness of Shatner and Spader don't do it for you. I guess that makes my non-reality show count up to 2 for this season. Lost and Boston Legal. Oddly enough both on ABC which is currently the most horrid of all networks. Is this a resurgance?
