One of the best shows of the last decade, David E. Kelly and his cast of characters deliver an amazing Emmy award winning performance. James Spader and William Shatner play so well together, along with Candice Bergen and the other great characters. It was awful of ABC to cancel this show. A must watch for law show fans and a very informative (yet liberally biased) show that can be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys current issues.

Yes, it can be overly quirky, but coupled with the mainstay characters and their various idiosyncrasies is a wealth of social and political commentary that made the show not only funny, but exceedingly relevant. At its center is the endearing relationship between Denny Crane and Alan Shore (William Shatner and James Spader) that never loses its appeal. Boston Legal is an underrated gem and a show that deserved more than to be canned.
