I was not aware of this series until the fourth season....So. I bought the entire series to follow the plot and character development....I was NOT dissapointed....Each year brought more laughs than the previous year....My only dissapointment was that it's life was only five years and no more....I would reccomend this to all for its comedy of the "legal world"....

Boston Legal Season Four continues the antics and drama of the crew at Crane, Poole & Schmidt. I like the addition of the new female staff members, particularly Katie (Tara Summers). There is a serious disconnect from the third season however, as the notable absence of Claire (Constance Zimmer) in my opinion detracted from the show. Overall, entertaining as usual.

Many viewers seem to have missed Boston Legal on TV, partly because it was usually on quite late at night. It's one of my favorite shows, very on-topic dealing with current issues of our decade - apart from being very entertaining it makes me think every time I see an episode.

I have ordered all my dvds from amazon and have been extremely satistified. As for the series of Boston Legal I previously have ordered 1 thru 3 of the series and plan to order season 5. I truly believe everyone would enjoy this series. Has a wonderful talented cast and some terrific writers. I have also previously ordered the House series from amazon. Another series filled with hours of great entertainment.

Okay, I take back everything I said about the previous season -- this one rocks! The main characters are brought into sharper relief with some better stories that revolve around better things than plastic love dolls and the like. The interplay between the new female staff (Katie, Lorraine, Whitney) is most intriguing. Denny Crane gets trapped in one ridiculous situation after another and Jerry Espenson shows us ever deeper dimensions of his neurotic brilliance, but most assuredly we are laughing with them and not at them. Yes, you don't have to be young and/or body beautiful to have a good time on this show, and get as much action as your heart desires (although sometimes it doesn't hurt, heh heh).

All the unmitigated pomposity that permeates our most revered cultural institutions is mercilessly skewered here, and even the United States Supreme Court cannot escape! Perhaps my one criticism is that we don't always get the most satisfactory explanation as to how Denny and Alan manage to win some of the more preposterous cases (I mean, sometimes it seems just a bit too easy) and, in the event that they were to actually lose, would they be moping rather than celebrating at the closing scene? Hold on-- come to think of it, in one case, the judge became so annoyed by an apparently frivolous lawsuit that he had them both locked up in a jail cell!

I think this show really begins to hit its stride here in terms of good stories and character development, and feel most regretful that it was eventually cancelled!
