The Law Has a Funny Side


One of the funniest quotes from Boston Legal.

Denny Crane: How can you ban red meat?
Dominick Ryan: Well, they've got a whole campaign, they're going to go with it. They plan to promote Summersport as the seafood capital of the world.
Denny Crane: We're carnivores. When the pilgrims landed, first thing they did was eat a few Indians.
Dominick Ryan: [Shirley and Dominick stare aghast at Denny] Is there anything we can do?
Shirley Schmidt: We'll get in the media TRO.
Denny Crane: I'll argue it myself. Ban red meat. That cannot possibly pass Constitutional mustard.
Shirley Schmidt: The word is "muster", Denny, but you're right, the law lack condiments.

I have fallen in love with this show, and it really didn't take much. But the following reasons surely helped.
  1. William Shatner - The last time I saw William Shatner in anything was Star Trek, and let's face it I was a fan. But, this role portrays a whole new side of the actor which is down right lovable. Okay, I can't finish this point without saying..."Denny Crane".
  2. Alan Shore - This character is hilarious! His quick wit and strange quirks make the show. He suffers regularly from night terrors, and has an irrational fear of clowns. If that's not enough, the character is played by James Spader...now come on, who doesn't love James Spader?
  3. You can win a case by merely uttering the words "Nansy-Pansy".
  4. The last scene of every episode shows that appreciating the quiet joys of a friendship is all anyone ever needs.
  5. The speed of dialogue - sure can give Gilmore Girls a run for their money.
  6. Abbot and Costello routines never get old.
  7. You get to meet people who are "verb bigots".
  8. In reference to the quote above, Denny Crane does not have Alzheimer's, he suffers from Mad Cow Disease instead. Yes, this is meant to be funny...watch the show to find out why.
