Monday Brings BOSTON LEGAL’s Big Two-Hour Series Finale!! Denny Crane!!
I am – Hercules!!
Denny is charged with breaking and entering and sexual assault.
Everybody is fired.
Cardboard cut-outs of all nine Supreme Court justices are employed.
William Shatner took home his first Emmy for playing Denny Crane on “The Practice,” then took home another for playing the same character on “Boston Legal.”
James Spader won three Emmys for playing Alan Shore, once for “The Practice” and twice on “Legal.
The two actors were each nominated four times for those roles.
David E. Kelley, a key creative force on “L.A. Law” before he went on to create “Ally McBeal,” “The Practice” and “Boston Legal” (all of which exist in the “Picket Fences” universe, which once dispatched Wisconsin attorney Douglas Wambaugh to argue before the Supreme Court) will be back next year with yet another legal drama, this one about a father-daughter attorney team.
Congratulations to Julie Bowen, who managed to stick for more than two seasons while fellow hotties Rhona Mitra, Lake Bell, Monica Potter, Constance Zimmer, Saffron Burrows, only lasted about a season a piece.
9 p.m. Monday. ABC.
Timmah!!
