Wolverines Fan Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Denny Crane. http://trekmovie.com/2008/02/12/boston-leg...hilosophically/ Boston Legal Cancelled? by Anthony Pascale Star Trek, Rescue 911, TekWar, and TJ Hooker are all shows where William Shatner was not able to break through the 100 episode barrier. Hopes were that he would finally do it with a fifth season of Boston Legal, but that is now in some doubt. Yesterday ABC announced pick-ups for their fall line-up and Shatner’s current series was not on the list. However, ABC will be bringing back Trek-related series Lost , Samantha, Who? and Pushing Daisies. No more…Denny Crane? TrekMovie.com has not been able to confirm if Boston Legal has been officially canceled, but it is at least ‘on the bubble.’ Boston Legal has done reasonably well in the ratings and has garnered accolades from the critics (as well as picking up a few Emmys). However, the audience skews older and after four seasons it already has enough episodes to go into syndication. Plus many of the stars (including Shatner) have contracts which expire at the end of this season and would require renegotiation for a 5th season. Boston Legal creator David E. Kelley is currently readying his next ABC series, the UK-import Life on Mars featuring TNG/DS9 star Colm Meaney. Assuming the strike ends this week the show is scheduled to go back into production next week to shoot the remaining eight episodes for the season.

Jimmy Neutron Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 That would suck - I like Boston Legal. Shatner is funny in that show, but James Spader carries the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'll admit I haven't watched it in a couple years, but whenever I did it was always good for a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmayes Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I stopped watching this season. It just got to be too ridiculous. The ass-burger guy and cross-dressing dude were the more annoying characters on the show, but now one of them gets a case every week. Alan's closings have become so nonsensical that I get pissed when he wins a case. All he does now is pull some study out of his ass and point his figure at the big bad government. His closings used to have a ring of truth to them for a liberal like myself, but now they're pretty much bs. Even the back and forth between Alan and Denny has become tiresome. Denny is now a complete and utter cartoonish buffoon. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
