Boston Legal
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the courtroom.
Created by David E. Kelley
On ABC
A witty, character-driven legal comedy that balances courtroom theatrics with genuine affection for its ensemble of flawed, brilliant lawyers.
Alan Shore and Denny Crane lead a brigade of high-priced civil litigators in an upscale Boston law firm in a series focusing on the professional and personal lives of brilliant but often emotionally challenged attorneys. A spin-off of long-running series The Practice.
