Boston Legal: Seasons 1-5

Boston Legal Seasons one through 5 - Rating: 2/5

I love Boston Legal, but the boxed set contained some
DVD's that skipped badly. One complete DVD wouldn't even load. I emailed the seller twice about this problem and did not hear back so I feel like I wasted some of the $117 I spent.
I'm not so keen about ordering anything else from Amazon now.

Great to see William Shatner in his perfect role! - Rating: 5/5

I agree with everything Tami said in her great review, but wanted to add a few things I really like about this series. First, for me, the best part of this show is the great relationship between Denny Crane and Alan Shore. It captures for me what I value in my own favorite friendships, and constantly reminds me how much I value my own friends. Boston Legal does a better job of illuminating this friendship dynamic than any show I can think of. Second, as a kid who grew up watching the original Star Trek, I have generally been disappointed with most of what Shatner has done since....until this series came out! This is the perfect role for Shatner, and as a life-long fan it is a real joy to see how well he does with this role. To me this show is about friendship and the potential joy of everyday life, and for me Shatner and James Spader are the ideal actors for the roles, and both deserve the credit for making this show what it is.

Love This DVD Set! - Rating: 5/5

Boston Legal has become one of my favorite TV series. I am very please with this 5 season set.

Boston Leagal - Gotta' Love It! - Rating: 5/5

I'm a Trek lover so Cap. Kirk (William Shatner) was a childhood fav. I love him as Denny Crain in this TV series. A movement of new faces keeps each season as fresh and funny as the last. A "Best Byu" in DVD.

So glad to have complete series!!!! - Rating: 5/5

I was so sad to see Boston Legal end its series. However, I am very grateful to be able to own this whole set. This is the only TV series that I own or desire to own. The writing was well done. The topics were thought provoking. And it kept up with current events. In some ways this reflects the history of issues in our country during the period in which it was filmed. And what a better way to preserve history--through crazy, thought provoking humor. My favorite show was the last episode but I can't think of an episode I didn't like. For me, this series even made me sometimes view the world differently, even if i wasn't aware of it at the time. Just a couple of days ago, I was in a store where a man had a "tick" and made some kind of funny noise. I just turned to my friend and said, "he squeeks". It seems like a simple thing, but before I would have been uncomfortable or even made a joke at the persons expense. i guess some people might think that comment is a joke--but if they knew this series they would know it was much more of an acceptance and statement of fact.

One other thing that I love about this series is that it doesn't seem to matter which side of an issue you are on or what your political affiliation is. Or at least in my family. I have a sister who is polar opposite of me when it comes to politics--but we both loved this show. I think when a show can do that, it is magical because more people are able to listen to both sides of an issue when it is presented in a fun way.

If you loved this series, you will of course love this DVD set. If you haven't seen this series, I would urge you to at least rent a few of the DVD's and then if you fall in love with it, buy them.
