http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/BOSTON-LEGAL----Beauty-and-the-Beast.aspx Before we delve into tonight’s premiere of BOSTON LEGAL, let’s take a little look back, shall we? Ok, so last season Alan (James Spader) and Denny (William Shatner) fought over who would get Shirley (Candice Bergen), in the biblical sense that is, Denny was torn between a little person and her mother, Brad (Mark Valley) and Denise (Julie Bowen) got married during the birth of their child and Denny managed to maintain his perfect trial record. Wow, that’s one busy law firm, and entertaining I might add. So with all that going on last year, where can these wacky characters go this year? If I know David E. Kelley, and by the way I don’t, plenty. Tonight we saw the entrance of new character Carl Sack (John Larroquette), who was introduced as current lawyer and old nemesis of Denny Crane, and as we found out in the last scene, current paramour of Shirley. Oh the fun I’ll have watching these three interact. And that interaction starts off with a bang, as Carl is brought in to defend Denny who has been charged with soliciting a prostitute. Oh Denny, you should have worked things out with Bethany (Meredith Eaton). Meanwhile, Alan must defend Shirley, when a major university sues her for reneging on a donation. These people just can’t seem to stay out of trouble, but that’s what we all love about them … right? Well that and the fact that they all seem to be just a little bit crazy. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/BOSTON-LEGAL----Beauty-and-the-Beast.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/BOSTON-LEGAL----Beauty-and-the-Beast.aspx#1527 alright show camera http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/BOSTON-LEGAL----Beauty-and-the-Beast.aspx#1527 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 18:09:25 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/26/BOSTON-LEGAL----Beauty-and-the-Beast.aspx#1610 this is the funniest lawyer show i have ever seen...
