Boston Legal: Seasons 1-4

Hey, it's Boston Legal-what's not to like?! This show has got something for everyone. The writing has been superb from Day One. The characters are glorious in their diversity, from Denny Crane ("lock and load" as he steps into a stall in the men's room, sports section in hand) to the beleaguered Paul Lewiston, trying desperately to maintain a modicum of Old World decorum in the midst of a microcosm of America's increasingly bizarre socio-economic landscape. One of the basic premises of this show seems to be that there are no sacred cows-equal opportunity irreverence reigns supreme. Tell me that you are not thoroughly tired of the current state of PC (political correctness) which makes one reluctant to express any kind of opinion at all for fear of reprisals ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. The good folks of Boston Legal never fail to show us just how ridiculous it has become. It's a big juicy slice of life with plenty of eye candy, lots of laughs and an undercurrent of caring and sharing that pulls it all together. The next time you have one of those days when you just want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head, lock and load some Boston Legal before doing the blanket thing. Works every time for me.

Being a long time fan of 'The Practice', I had recently purchased the entire series and while watching the last few episodes realized I had somehow missed in RealTime that Boston Legal was the "spinoff" or "continuation" of The Practice. The courtroom drama with intimate knowledge of the every day lives and quirks of the characters has made me a HUGE belated fan of Boston Legal. I have done more laughing out loud at television since getting this set than I have in years. You just learn to love to hate and hate to love each character and it is almost seamless the way new characters come in almost unnoticed and long standing ones go without really missing them. Great writing to character[s] and even better execution by the actors make this set a must have for the fan of courtroom type dramas. This will be the fifth and final season for the show--I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Hopefully there will be a spinoff" or "continuation" of this series. This set is very clear [NOT DARK AND GRAINY] and of course without commercials. Well worth the money!!!!!! 'DENNY CRANE'

I did not watch Boston Legal when it was on TV i did happen to see an episode or 2 before it left the air. and thought i missed out on a great show. Funny as all get out...i don't care who you are it is funny... James spader and william shatner are such funny people...i have only seen the first 2 seasons and i am in the middle of the third season but enjoying every minute. if you did not watch this when it was on tv buy it and you will enjoyin. and no comercials YEAH!and lets say i bought this at its lowest price ever about 89bucks. awesome!

I had just started watching Boston Legal recently and was immediately enthralled! The price for the 4 season was great and the show has lived up to my high expectations. For me, William Shatner makes the show - the quintessential chauvinist pig who is lacking a very important social filter! The characters are larger than life and it is pretty hard to imagine that people like these folks really exist - but I'm not watching it for the reality, only the entertainment value, which is huge. A very imaginative, thought-provoking show that keeps the watcher coming back for more - that's my rating!

I dont watch TV. I hate commercials. But I saw an episode or two of Boston Legal and decided to buy the whole series! I have now watched the 4 seasons I bought (when will season 5 come out? I cant wait). These are beautifully recorded and mastered; there is no extraneous junk on the disks like trailers and other nonsense. It is just pure, unadulterated, hilarious, profound, awesome, Boston Legal! They address every issue imaginable in the world today and do it with wit, with heart, and with soul. I love this series and will probably wear the disks out watching them!!!

Topical satire wrapped up in a fun package. So preposterous yet rings true every time. When Alan gets in the courtroom nothing is sacred or off-limits. Denny is vulgar, pompous, yet teddy bear huggable. The supporting cast is superb. Never will there be another show that projects such a smart & humorous approach without 'dumbing down' or worrying about offending the viewers in the way Boston Legal did week after week. Miss it still.

Its a rare treat to find an entertaining program on TV anymore. The writers for Boston Legal do a great job keeping the viewer interested. The topics for the legal cases are often very thought provoking and do a good job of covering both sides of the issue. Having no legal background, I have no idea if the court sceens are realistic or not, but the interaction between the charactures is a class act.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and her husband and they were thrilled to receive it. Boston Legal has always been a favorite show of mine. I love the offbeat humor, and Spader and Shatner have never been better. Terrific cast of offbeat characters! Can't wait to borrow the series when they get done. I will also be buying the 5th season when it's released.

I didn't know what to expect with this. I only bought it because of William Shatner. No matter what he does I've always found him entertaining.. well, maybe not "TJ Hooker". I later found that James Spader was also in it. I've always found him sexy. If nothing else I'd get to watch Captain Kirk and sexy bloke.Boston legal pretty much shows society being shaped by wealthy people in positions of power. Each person/lawyer with his own take on life. It's fast paced, intelligent, hilarious and most of all relevant. The characters are quickly established and as they are mostly new to each other just as the viewer is new to them so getting a feel for the show is easy. We go along with things like the rest of the characters. We're shocked, appalled, sympathetic and disgusted along with everyone else on screen.The stories are smart and well presented. Each episode is asking the viewer "what whould YOU do?". The program sweeps the viewer along and cleverly moves us to listen, think and form and opinion all the while being entertaining.It's wonderful work by the writer. Well worth watching. I hope this is the way television is going. Excellent.I've just finished watching Season 2 and I'm now going to purchase Season 3.

It is great fun seeing the first episodes again. The Good Wife has serious politics & I enjoy it enormously but Boston Legal is just pure fun.

it shows one show from each series , gives a taste of the series .

Love

good way to find out how it all started
