Boston Legal

[altariel]

Thanks to cruisedirector for posting the link to this article about Denny Crane and Alan Shore (William Shatner and James Spader) from Boston Legal, television's best married couple.

"Buoyed by [...] viewer feedback, the writers began to pair up the two in other, off-balcony situations, taking the male-bonding relationship to unexpected but natural-feeling levels of closeness: a fishing trip that included a spooning scene in bed, dressing as matching flamingos at a party, and being tied together with a rope as Denny kept Alan from hurting himself while sleepwalking during an attack of night terrors."

If you're not watching Boston Legal - let me say again, flamingos!!

Shirley what in season 1? :-)

Oops - "is missing from" season 1, ironically! Teach me to reply pre-coffee.

I suspected she might not be from how she was introduced. But I suppose I get to see the guy who went bananas in S2.

Poole is in an episode at the end of S2 - and in the very first episode, it seems. I haven't seen S1 either, I wish one of my thousands of channels would show some repeats.

Yeah, he turns up at work naked from the waist down. A good start to what was to me a new series I thought.

I'll have to look around for a decent price. I don't want to pay the $98 they want here.

$98 - ouch, no!

Found a new set on TradeMe (our own eBay) for $74 and bought it. :-P The tottering pile of DVDs grows.

This price is about what I'd pay for a set from the US or UK but without the huge amount of postage.

Well done! Look forward to hearing how S1 compares to the "classic" line-up! ;-D

Greg's off to Singapore tomorrow for a week or so; I'll have to wait till he gets back because he's a fan too.

Oh and the Rome S1 DVDs are on their way too. I missed that one as well.

I'll be really interested to hear what you think of Rome, because critics have been very divided!

Hope your week by yourself goes OK - Mr A. comes back from a week in the US today.

I confused Rome with the apparently dreadful Empire, thinking it was a sequel, so I didn't watch until it was too late to get into. A fellow re-enactor tells me it's pretty good, so I'm looking forward to it.
