As in Munchkinland, people seem to come and go so quickly at the law firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt. Out the door as Season Four begins are cast members Mark Valley, Julie Bowen, Rene Auberjonois, and Constance Zimmer (a tough loss). But the more things change the more they stay the same. Introduced to sweet, pretty and capable new lawyer Katie Lloyd (Tara Summers), it takes Alan Shore (James Spader) all of one second to come on to her. It takes Denny Crane (William Shatner) five. The most stellar addition to the firm is Night Court Emmy-winner John Larroquette as Carl Sack from the New York office. He has come not to shake things up so much as to tone them down, and "wring out some of the madness." "We are in the business of law," he pronounces. "A law firm has to be discreet, conservative." Good luck with that, Carl, especially when one of the lawyers keeps popping up on YouTube dressed as his female alter-ego, and the senior partner is one minute arrested for soliciting a prostitute, and the next caught in his own Larry Craig bathroom incident, and the next courting a discrimination suit after firing a female associate for being overweight. That, of course, would be addled loose cannon Denny Crane, who seems to be more of a distraction this season, but who rises to the occasion in an excellent episode in which he and Alan find themselves on opposite sides in the case of a Massachusetts town that wants to secede from the United States. "Every time someone counts me out of the game, I surprise them," he tells Carl. Boston Legal is nothing if not surprising, as witness the story arc involving a woman (former Saturday Night Live ensemble member Mary Gross) with Aspergers whose budding romance with Jerry Espenson (Christian Clemenson) is threatened by her romantic love for inanimate objects (the condition exists; look it up). Another new addition to the firm, Lorraine (Saffron Burrows), herself an object of Alan's obsession, reveals explosive secrets from her past. But more compelling is the dramatic case of a woman (guest star Mare Winningham) who efficiently plots the murder of her daughter's killer, but wants Alan to plead temporary insanity. Spader, a three-time Emmy-winner as Alan, is at his best when he is on his (and series creator David Kelley's) "soapbox" ("Don't you get tired going on and on like that?" Denny affectionately chides him). His verbal smackdown of the United States Supreme Court justices in the episode, "The Court Supreme," is one of the season's most memorable moments. Carl Sack may not succeed in making Crane, Pool & Schmidt "a normal law firm," but as one is heard to remark, "It's not everyday you encounter compelling characters, is it?" --Donald Liebenson

THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW January 23, 2010

I have to admit I love this show in spite of itself! While nominated for several Emmys in the drama category, this show is really a comedy with some dramatic diversions. How can anyone take Alan, Denny, Jerry or Clarence seriously? But what a cast...even with Henry Gibson and Shelley Berman as judges! Credit David Kelley with his controversial case matters, everything from cesession to female priests to cockfighting. And yes, our team always wins! But who cares? The cast is impeccable and the show nis just fun to watch! Long live Denny Crane!

We love the series but the "new" dvd set I purchased is missing disc #1. Not sure what I can do about that.
Getting A Little Weird, But Still Fantastic! January 9, 2010
Todd Hagopian (Michigan)
Between "Clarence/Clarise" taking an expanded role, and Jerry ("Hands") dating another person with a similar condition who falls in love with inanimate objects (such as an alarm clock), this series keeps getting weirder and weirder. I have got to say, somehow the writers pull it off and make it funny and relevant. I love the real-time jokes about up-to-date political happenings, and the cascading group of characters this show brings in is amazing. My only complaint is that they bring in some fantastic characters that don't last long, but their long-standing regulars are amazing in this season. The newest main character, Carl, is a fantastic addition to this series. The fun story lines in this one include a trip to New Orleans (imagine Denny in New Orleans), and a fight against the Government after finding out that Denny was mistakenly put on the no-fly list. If you have loved the series so far, you will love this one.
Enjoy!
