I like that show because it teaches how to love and I like to asked question about Alan and the woman he love and when she said I was to have baby with him and they will see each other again

I just finished watching all of the 4th series. What a shame such a good show was cancelled. Wish it would come back. I now have the final series 5 to watch then what.

Boston Legal,should have been given another chance! It still is, one of my favorite comedies. I couldn’t wait to see who Denny was going to shoot next!!! Hopefully, another network, will pick it back up. If not, there’s always re-runs and DVD!!!

2 years ago, Boston Legal talked about the housing market, how it was going to crash, how it would affect the whole world. When it seemed the entire US was pro war, pro bush, Boston Legal questioned it.
It was a very sofisticated show, that sustained a combination that is very hard to come by, excelent research, brilliant writers and award winning actors.
I join other fans in wishing that another network takes advantage of ABC’s mistake and use it to their advantage.

I enjoyed it until I started going to law school and saw how grossly unrealistic it actually was. Also seemed to get more and more preachy which was annoying. I didnt bother watching the finale.

Hi all,
So very nice to see other dedicated fans of this great piece of TV ingenuity. It is a great and inexorably painful shame to see something so thought provoking and entertaining being put down to rest. Is there no way another TV network could pick this show up from ABC? Many of my friends and I have this conspiracy theory that suggests that this is one more TV show that attacks the american ideals and the government media watchdogs have picked up on it. Trying to keep the masses dim to the reality of what is actually happening out there. So very few shows have immense onscreen camradery and chemistry, in fact- none come to mind… They keep the rubbish and dump the gold? Its too ridiculous to accept it as being a rational choice made by media executives. The viewing figures are for the American viewership, the global ratings would tell a different story. Considering that this show doesn’t get as much advertisement coverage compared to the nonsense of other shows…
Great shame. Denny Crane + Alan Shore for life.

In Australia, we’ve only just now gotten the fourth season on DVD, and of course I watched it the moment I got it. And now to find out that the fifth season will be the last? I’m 23 and I find Boston Legal to be one of the best tv programs on at the moment, never mind that rubbish aimed at younger people, it only makes me want to stab my eyes out. Boston Legal is clever, witty and damn hilarious as well as being serious about current issues.

ABC, you need to pull your head out of your arses and at least watch this fantastic program before canceling it.

It was entertaining, blasphemous and totally outrageous at times.It was creatively written and very well acted, but seemed to have little tolerance for different points of vi
ew. Would anyone invite Alan back for next Thanksgiving dinner? Betty White was terrific abd Monica Potter left too soon.

Clever writing… headlines ripped from the daily news… Even when Alan was on the other side of and issue with me…(rarely…) It was thought provoking TV … hmmm a concept lost on ABC execs. They couldnt have been watchiing… all the pot shots BL shot over the bow this season Hilarious!!… I LOVED it!
Mr. Spader sure grew from the “snotty kid” in the Molly Ringwald movies!
Please other networks TAKE NOTE: be clever and throw 8 millon THINKING viewers a bone and keep this brilliant cast intact.

We never watched the show even though friends have been telling us to for several years. Finally in October we relented and loved it only to discover it would be done in December. Luckily ION TV has all the re-runs which we will most certainly enjoy. Best TV show in a long time…..

One of the best adult shows on the tube; everyone knows that these programs can’t go on forever, but this one certainly had many topics of today’s world to draw on.

What’s next to be axed — House?

Eight million constant viewers aren’t wrong…Boston Legal deserves to be put back on the air. Hopefully another network will pick it up if ABC doesn’t. With all the crap shows on ABC each week, i.e., the Jim Belushi shows that they repeatedly air, one would think that ABC would realize that Boston Legal fans want not only for the show to be renewed but to also have it on in a CONSISTENT time slot…NEVER varying. Some people had a hard time just trying to find the show at times because ABC kept flipflopping the times/dates. We need Alan, Denny, Shirley, Jerry, etc., etc., etc. for our weekly fix of a GREAT cast putting out the FANTASTIC work of David E. Kelley.

I love BL. It’s the most intelligent and brilliantly outrageous show on TV today. It’s one minute hilarious and the next minute poignant. Shatner and Spader are a stunning pair of actors; together they’re amazing. Candace Bergen…equal kudos to her. Of course, the writing is fabulous, the casting impeccable. Please bring it back!!!!

Well ABC…. you blew it again! What a great show Boston Legal has been and I guess only us older folk get the back slap humor that it provided each and every week. I can’t say the same for all the reality shows that proliferate the airs today. How sad that this is what our society has come to (who can out smart who and get them kicked off till we’re down to one). Can’t anyone at any of the networks come up with anything more creative than that slop? How boring that we go from channel to channel and see the same version of this same old dead programming, but just wearing a different suit. Come on ABC where’s your mojo on coming up with something that is really funny?

Apparently this show had too much truth in it for ABC to handle. I will miss it greatly. It has been my favorite show and the only thing I really care to watch. It is a very sad day for me.

I loved Boston Legal but I could never seen to find it as the days always seemed to be changed or the show was cxled for some other show. It got very confusing.

I thought it was being done on purpose as the subjects on the show were so controversial that I thought the sponsors were afraid. I guess I won’t be watching much of anything anymore as everything else seems so inane.

I miss Boston Legal already. It was one of my all-time favorite shows. It was so smart and funny. I guess that’s the problem … it ended up being too smart for ABC execs … they just didn’t get it. It makes me upset that ABC execs never even got behind the show. I’m very sad to see it go, but I am so glad that the show got a proper send-off and wasn’t just cut off without any closure (like so many other great shows).
