I’m in South Africa and wouldn’t like to see BL come to an end. I am addicted to the show and have bought all its DVD’s 1-4. Am now waiting for the 5th season DVD to come out. Pls retain it. Its a kill here in South Africa.

I still can’t get over the cancellation of Boston Legal, I watch a total of 4 shows on TV and Boston Legal was at the top of that list…the other show I watched was Eli Stone…now that both BL and ES are gone, I’m down to just Smallville and Supernatural…which are entirely different shows…gah I miss BL already

This is a perfect example of the “dumbing of America”. This show makes you think, and the government controlled media makes sure that we remain sheep, not a “thinking” America. Boston Legal was the highlight of my t. v. week, as a matter of fact, the only television that i watched. What a shame this stimulating and funny show will not return.

Boston Legal is perhaps the best show ever. I watch episodes over and over again. I cried during the series finale. This is the only show of its kind on TV. I love it. I love Denny. David E. Kelly is amazing. Its so foolish that ABC would want to cancel it. All other shows on TV are so stupid and immature. I am eighteen years old but I like sophisticated shows, not Scrubs or Family Guy. Boston Legal has made me think differently about abortion, gay marriage, the war, tobacco laws. and a whole host of other topics. This is a beautiful show. The characters are quirky and charming and socially awkward. I love it. I can not believe why ABC would want to abandon one of the best shows ever thought of. Denny Crane, Allen Shore, Jerry Espenson are my heros. I love them. This show and these characters have caused me to aspire to become a trial lawyer. I will make it some day. I will become a lawyer. I will fight for the little man. I will win. I love all of you. Please ABC bring back our friends. Dont give us any more dumb sitcoms. Make us think. Make us want to think. If we dont think, how are we going to fix ourselves? ABC needs to do the right choice.

I look forward to Monday’s because Boston Legal was on. I’ve only started watching it early this year because there was nothing else to watch on the other channels. So glad to have found it. Such a disappointment to see that last night was the “series finale”. The best parts of the show were the cast and the writing. It dealt with current issues and gave opposing sides of the argument. It makes you think and laugh. Where can you find that kind of entertainment with a touch of reality?? I was really impressed with the writing and the amount of dialogue Spader had to memorize which he delivered so well. The show will truly be missed. Please bring it back. I’m in my early 30’s. Am I considered old?

I watched the back-to-back final today. It’s as great as ever. I will truly miss the show. Wish they can bring them back. Perhaps Allen and Danny will start a new practice for the poor? That’d be great.
James Spader, William Shatner, and Candice Burgen, and all others, you guys are fantastic.
The writer and creator, write more. Can you convince the network to bring back Boston Legal? I love the cigar scenes at the end of each show. I love everything about the show. Thanks.

WHY would ABC cancel this show? I get more to think about from watching this show than any 20-20 episode in recent memory. Terrific actors, great writing with the exception of 2-3 shows in 5 years and nobody is watching? Who is running the ratings here? Everyone I talk to loves this show! Maybe CBS will buy the rights, there is more to watch on that network anyway. This now brings my ABC viewing to exactly zero shows in a week.

I am crestfallen that this show is coming to an end. I watch very little television, but this show is the highlight of my week. I have fallen in love with all the characters-the actors in this series are phenominal. In an hour, they can take your emotions on a daredevil rollercoaster ride. In the course of an hour, I laugh, become indignant, become sad, wince a bit , then laugh again. If this program were in a different time-slot, it would certainly capture more viewers. Bravo to the entire cast and crew of BL. James Spader….an amazing talent. From years ago in The Breakfast Club to today’s BL, he continues to be a standout actor.

If ABC thinks that they can’t get new viewers in its last season, they are sadly mistaken. I became a huge fan just in November of 2008 as I discovered its reruns on ION Television. I was hooked. I bought the Season 1-4 DVDs and I’m working on catching up. I

DO NOT CANCEL BL? And what’s with this “Legal’s audience also skews a bit older which isn’t very attractive to advertisers” crap. what do u mean not attractive to advertisers. as JOhn Larcoette’s character said majority of the population are older and have the disposable income. gimme a break
so what kind of entertainment are we gonna have. more reality crap
i miss the hard core entertainment of the past like carol burnett, magnum, happy days. Guess hollywood doesn’t know how to make those shows anymore but can’t fess up to it!

I’ve watched each and every episode of this phenominal series. The people I know that watch it are far from older- It’s a funny, classy, serious, and sad show wrapped up perfectly with a bow. ABC David E. Kelley has put out some of the best series I’ve ever seen.

Boston Legal is the only show I look forward to every week. I don’t care where you move it to, I will find it. I agree about the reality shows. They stink and are stupit. Please keep the most entertaining show on the air… Boston Legal.

NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!. Altho I accept that every show has a time where it has to end, now is not the time for Boston Legal. I can still see its relevance, its classy humour, and also a growing fanbase (here in England anyway). Michelle is right this “reality” tv crap is, well crap, and unfortunately not a fad, but even if Boston Legal is targeted for an older audience, which I dont think it is, so what!

We simply cannot live without Denny Crane and Alan Shore. David Kelley is a genius and leaves us wonderfully entertained every week and looking forward to the next episode. The cast of Boston Legal is so much fun with all their little idiosyncrasies that we have come to love. Please don’t leave us. We need you and want to see more of you.

Tell us a way we can help keep this show on? I do not believe people are “quitting” in their watching of Boston Legal. I believe that the network juggles it around so much that we can’t keep track of when the next one is on! Duh….explains less people watching!
This is one of the few intelligent shows left on TV. All the reality shows are garbage. Most of the game shows are garbage….with the exception being any that take a modicum of intelligence….Jeparody , etal.
Please credit American’s with a bit of sense and keep the good ones going.

Are you people crazy. It seems networks are continually taking off all the good entertaining shows, leaving us with nothing but “junk”. Please don’t
cancel Boston Legal. This show is so entertaining and I look forward to seeing new episodes each week. Spader, Shatner, Bergen and the rest of the cast are GREAT!!!!!

Who would cancel this show? Where exactly are they getting their ratings info and is it even correct? I teach high school and my students watch the show, my former students watch the show, my middle-aged colleagues watch the show. I’m pretty sure we all qualify for somewhere in that all important young to mid-range demographic. Boston Legal was one of the few intelligent shows left on the air. We’re being deluged by idiotic “reality” shows that bear NO resemblance to any reality I’ve ever been a part of. Why? Are we seriously vacuous enough to choose to watch people picking their soulmates on live-television rather than intelligent pseudo-court shows? Have we become too stupid to appreciate shows like Boston Legal? If so, perhaps all the networks will just keep pulling shows off the air until we’re left with nothing except ads, shows about teenagers, and gunfights. Viva America.
