Wow! Who watched Boston Legal?
What an awesome episode. Alan argued in front of the Supreme Court and told off each justice. lol

It was his best courtroom rant ever.

4. My Tivo is acting up and only recorded half the episode
But I did get to see his argument to the SC.

You're gonna love it.

7. I Had Tears In My Eyes.....
it was inspiring and patriotic and I just hope the Supreme Court Judges and the candidates get an opportunity to listen to what Allen Shore had to say. What a wonderful program.

I am hoping the dialogue will be available online somewhere.
Pretty much trashed all of them for their various conflicts of interest.
Here's one to picture with your eyes closed. Denny was flirting with Ginsburg. :rofl:

21. I love Ruth....I can see
why Denny would flirt with her. I'm not kidding.

I took much ribbing for saying that I would fuck Thurgood Marshall. What a brain! What a sense of Justice!

Do you understand that at all? Sex is cerebral to me. It could actually lead to Love...now that's a disgusting 4-letter word.

9. It was a TERRIFIC EPISODE! Check ABC if you missed it. Some of their shows you can watch online..
I watch Desperate Housewives on their site if I miss it on TV.

17. ABC aired a tv movie that attempted to pin blame on 911 on Clinton
ABC aired a debate that attempted to ruin our candidates = there is never any repercussions for what they do-never.

19. I didn't watch that stupid 9/11 show
and I wrote a letter and an email about that horrifically awful debate.

Boston Legal is groundbreaking material. It's a must see every week. And yes, it makes up for ABC's mistakes.

But you are free to make your own choices. :hi:

16. Alan Shore's behaviour ...
... in front of the SC was, in real-life terms, implausible, overly-theatric, and ridiculous to the point where such a presentation would never be tolerated.

It was also one of the most uplifting and inspiring episodes of any TV drama ever aired anywhere, at any time.

How many viewers watched that scene and didn't think, "That's exactly what I would have said to these fuckers, if ever I got the chance."

Brilliant stuff.

22. You're right on both counts. He would have been removed
from the court and I know that, but you're also right that we all looked at this episode and WISHED that it could really happen!

27. I think Denny Crane summed my feelings up best
when he farted in front of them.

:rofl:
