http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/07/BOSTON-LEGAL----The-Object-of-My-Affection.aspx Denny Crane (William Shatner) wouldn’t be Denny Crane if he wasn’t insulting somebody and pushing the envelope of acceptability. Well, tonight is no exception when he fires an employee of Crane, Poole and Schmidt for being too fat. It’s such typical Denny behavior that I’m not even offended by it. Of course, it turns into all kinds of trouble for the lothario lawyer, and of course he sees nothing wrong with what he’s done, even if it is illegal. That being said, I don’t know how much longer Shirley (Candice Bergen) can deal with having to defend him to the rest of the partners, especially his arch nemesis, Carl Sack (John Larroquette). Meanwhile, Alan (James Spader) is busy trying to defend a woman from murder by pushing a temporary-insanity defense. You remember this lady; she’s the one who walked into Alan’s office last week asking for advice on how to get away with murder. Being the upstanding lawyer that he is, ok not that upstanding, but too ethical to help murder somebody, Alan refused to give her that advice. However, he did agree to defend her, when she actually went ahead with that aforementioned murder. You really can’t blame her, considering the guy she killed brutally murdered her daughter and got away with it himself after being acquitted by reason of temporary-insanity. I guess she was looking for some ironic justice, which with Alan on her side, she may just get. 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/2007/11/07/BOSTON-LEGAL----The-Object-of-My-Affection.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/07/BOSTON-LEGAL----The-Object-of-My-Affection.aspx#2107 such a great show and so funny WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/07/BOSTON-LEGAL----The-Object-of-My-Affection.aspx#2107 Thu, 08 Nov 2007 22:34:07 GMT
