! Boston Legal !

Post Reply New Topic

It may not be the most original show on television primetime, but its characters definitely are.

How can you not get enough of Danny Crane and Alan Shore? As weird as weird can be?

But I'm not talking about the main characters. I just saw a recent episode. I generally watch it every week, and there was some character that, for some reason, must have skipped my mind in the past. There was a lawyer, who was at one time a client, that had Asperger's Syndrome! Truly, it was written right into the show. I sort of couldn't believe my eyes.

I have only seen a few episodes, but I too was amused by the weird factor in Boston Legal. The last one I saw, Denny and Alan wore pink flamingo outfits, heh. It would be interesting to know more about the writers of that show.

Another show with a weird factor that you may like is "Scrubs".

Ohhh i love "Scrubs"!

I watch "Boston Legal" almost every week too, though i missed the last one..
I wasn't too thrilled when that one lawyer of theirs was diagnosed with Asperger's after threatening one of the partners..

Scrubs? Watched it once, probably. I rarely can get into comedies. Like, I liked Married With Children, Roseanne, Becker, Home Improvement, and more recently, Twins. I used to watch Gary Shandling as well, but things like Seinfeld completely turn me off.

And relating to Boston Legal, the lawyer who was diagnosed with AS displayed more of a bizarre and comical feature of social discontent. I don't know, but I don't imagine people with AS acting like that. I can't seem to imagine people with AS pacing back and forth in a courtroom in such a way as to become extremely noticeable to everyone around him while blurting out utterances that made him appear to be losing his mind.
