Boston Legal: Petition to Continue the Cancelled TV Show

Boston LegalABC may have cancelled the Boston Legal TV show after 101 episodes but it’s clear that there’s still stories left to be told. Will the new marriages last? Where will our favorite lawyers end up?

Many believe that the series shouldn’t have ended just yet. Though the show’s ratings have dipped over the years, the numbers aren’t that low. These days, some networks would love to have that many viewers. The show often comes in second against CBS’ dominant CSI: Miami.

Would you like to see this award-winning dramady continue in some way — perhaps as a TV movie, a spin-off, or even as part of David E. Kelley’s new legal drama? If so, sign the petition below and make your case for continuing to follow the crazy exploits of Alan Shore and Denny Crane. Write to the studio and the network and tell them you’d like to see the characters live on. Go ahead, channel your “inner Alan Shore.”


To: ABC, 20th Century Fox Television, David E. Kelley Productions

We, the undersigned, greatly enjoy watching the ABC TV show, Boston Legal. The series is truly a unique program, continually controversial, outrageous, and touching — often at the same time.

We’re truly sorry to see this wonderful show come to an end and are not ready to say goodbye to the attorneys of Crane, Poole and Schmidt. Please consider continuing the escapades in some new way, perhaps as a TV movie or a spin-off. There are millions and millions of loyal Legal viewers who are waiting to see what happens next.

Thank you for your consideration.

    Alan Shore needs to have his own program where he is fully redemptive. where he plays a good guy with an new guy who is like how he was
  • Joseph DulskiCountry: United States2022-07-13 12:35:32
    Bring back Boston Legal!
  • KristyCountry: Australia2021-05-13 07:32:13
    It's my favourite show of all time! Spader/Shore is amazing and I absolutely adore him
  • Little mouse's daughterCountry: United States2021-05-11 00:29:50
    I know the actors are currently playing other shows and such but Boston Legal was such a great show. I'd never really seen it because I was battling an illness and college at the time it was originally aired, I mean it was on the tv ... Anyway I just binged watched it all the way through and it made my evenings better after needing to socially distance and all. Thanks to all whom were apart of that wonderful show. Please bring it back if you will.
  • Tomasz WiśniewskiCountry: Canada2021-04-04 14:51:26
    Re-watching it again and I'm surprised how current it still is. Bring it back, that kind of commentary on the world at large it what the TV needs.
  • EclipseCountry: Australia2021-03-13 07:46:20
    Bring back Boston Legal, or even a spinoff would be good.
  • Robert LangCountry: USA2021-01-14 21:44:40
    Please please bring it back on some kind of a reboot or such. I'm sure a lot of the actors would say yes to recreating their roles...like Julie Bowen whose Modern Family has ended its run...I say go Denise Bauer! William Shatner,James Spader and Candice Bergen as well.
  • Ben GfrorerCountry: US2020-11-20 22:45:08
    Boston Legal was awesome, William Shatner looks the same 12 years later; maybe Betty White could do a call in cameo. Other than that, the rest of the cast is young enough except Rene Aubergonis who passed last year (a minor part of the cast, but the first episode could be dedicated to him.)
  • Maria M GregoryCountry: Houston Tx2020-09-24 04:52:29
    Boston Legal please bring it back. We watched it and loved it. Especially now with virus and sad news stories USA needs laughter so please return Boston Legal. Let us know when and what channel. Thank you. Greg and Mary Gregory. Vietnam Veterans
  • ChrisCountry: Uk2020-09-19 12:19:38

  • Guruprasad GadgilCountry: USA2020-09-08 13:32:13

  • Charles beasleyCountry: USA OHIO2020-08-24 02:15:33
    Please bring Boston legal back I loved ever episode.
  • Mr Lincoln SharpeCountry: Australia2020-08-19 22:17:02
    Really?? With Trump in the Whitehouse still no Boston Legal?? Shame
  • George BenderCountry: United States of America2020-08-05 13:49:50
    One of the greatest casts ever assembled for one show. Never should have ended! Please if there is a way, bring it back!!
  • Y LiuCountry: United States2020-06-20 18:00:37
    Please bring it back!
  • Ric HansonCountry: US2020-06-04 11:14:23
    Bring back Boston Legal! There is such a shortage of good programming on tv. I watch all five seasons on DVD, but would love to see more than the way it ended.
  • R LangCountry: United States2020-05-12 20:06:45
    I want to add that since modern family has ended that opens up Julie Bowen to come back as the needs of our and the only other person would be James Spader we would need to get in the scene it would be terrific if they were going to do a reboot of some kind of some of the same cast members at least Crane, Poole and Schmidt people
  • Robert LangCountry: United States2020-05-12 20:01:07
    It never should have been canceled and if it had been why didn't another Network or cable network pick it up they should at least do a reboot or consider it
  • S. MarioCountry: USA2020-05-10 18:18:28
    Boston Legal was my favorite tv program. There is nothing on tv since that is so entertaining! Please bring it back... with the same cast! Thank you! S. Mario

  • J.Country: USA2020-04-12 20:51:24
    This was an amazing show, I purchased all 5 Seasons... I would love to see it back at least for a tv movie. Please consider it.
  • Jerold & Sylvia JordanCountry: USA2020-02-24 01:18:13
    Would love to see Boston Legal back on TV. It is a pleasure to watch and enjoy the unexpected, unexpecteds. They are so comical sometime. Would love to see the untold stories or reruns!
