Anyone see Boston Legal last night?
Edited on Wed Feb-08-06 08:28 AM by Ava
It was another excellent episode. Did anyone else catch it?

This episode was about protesters being arrested to silence them and their message.

3. Protesting over redistricting. I wish/hope a lot more people watch
this show. They touch upon real issues each week that affect us all.

I love this show.

p.s. It's also funny as hell.

4. Welcome to DU Ava! Boston Legal (Kelley) does a great job of covering

the issues. And exposing all sorts of legal manipulation.

I believe Chase has always done that with his shows and that's a good thing.

Thanks for bringing it up here. I Tivo'd it but now I can't wait to watch it!

:hi:

6. I missed the first 15 minutes
but I was able to catch the rest of it. i've always been a fan of the show,
especially since both my mom and stepdad are lawyers. ;)

8. YES! It was great and funny, funny
Everyone should be watching this show every week....(well, Dems). Next week will be just as good. They said what the theme of next week's show will be, but I've forgotten, just remember thinking, "Wow, they ARE brave." Anyone younger than I am remember the theme of next week's show?

15. Refusal of emergency contraception for a teenage rape victim
That's one. Denny Crain's squeeze Bev is fighting her ex-husband who wants to take their sick cat off life support. Or the refusal of a private school to accept a gifted student who has facial nerve damage and cannot smile.

Take your pick.

11. I love the way they weave the story around the issues. It was great.
Last night was especially well done- a bit silly (women protesting topless is frankly, a bit much) but also well written.

12. Are they following the plot about the lawyer w/ Asperger's Syndrome?
Edited on Wed Feb-08-06 09:08 AM by Brotherjohn
I don't usually watch it, but I saw some of that one a couple of weeks back. My son has AS and I was wondering if that was a one-episode plot or a continuing plot.

13. "The press didn't report our real numbers - so people didn't know"
Yup. A few good points.
The primary challenge GOP style was fun too.

17. Boston Legal
I love Boston Legal. James Spader is so good. This is one of the best shows on television. They are always up on what is going on in the political world.
