Critic Reviews
Jul 23, 2013
Season 1 Review:
Even if you weren't in the practice of watching ABC's 'The Practice,' you might find its spinoff, 'Boston Legal,' habit-forming. [3 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
No pair of actors on any other show, new or old, on any network is as pleasurable to behold as these two. [1 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
As was "Ally," "Legal" is rated "Q" for quirky. Wacky characters abound, clients look askance at the goings-on, usually with good reason. One lawyer appears in coat, tie, shirt, and nothing else. [2 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
It's all charming, with the crackle of Kelley at his best. [1 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
[James Spader's] raffishly amoral Shore is the most enjoyable thing to happen to courtroom drama in years. [1 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
Shatner has never been funnier - on purpose or inadvertently. [1 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
Boston Legal represents a vast improvement over the final season of The Practice. [1 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
Whatever one thought of Practice last season, Boston Legal is a separate show -- and it should be viewed with a clean slate. Taken on its own purposely outrageous terms, Boston succeeds as a decent legal comedy led by two broadly amusing characters. [1 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
Shatner has a ball playing a paragon of inappropriate behavior and lends the egocentric character a surprising touch of poignancy in his rare moments of introspection. But it's going to be tricky finding the right balance between Shore and Crane while allowing each to stay in touch with his inner devil.

Season 1 Review:
It may be a case of going too far but in such a crazy-daisy way that it can't help but be entertaining. [2 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
There is no mistaking "Boston Legal" for anything other than a Kelley office drama. The show and its characters have all the trademark tics that have become his calling card: Quirky cases, outrageous characters, legal arguments as sermons on the mount. Everything is just a little bit heightened, at least when it's not completely over the top; caricatures too often sub for characters. [1 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
The cases on "Boston Legal" will inevitably become ridiculous; that's the trend in Kelley's shows, as he pushes the envelope beyond reason. But the show's regular cast has great promise. [2 Oct 2004]

Season 1 Review:
Oddly entertaining. ... If you're a fan of Spader's ability to make creepy characters watchable, if not likable, then this solid hour is worth your time. [2 Oct 2004]
