Writer-producer David E. Kelley has a knack for creating popular and highly acclaimed TV series featuring lawyers, and Boston Legal -- coming on the heels of Kelley's The Practice and Ally McBeal -- is no exception. Like its predecessors, this smart and saucy show has wowed the critics. It has also revitalized the careers of its two Emmy-winning stars, James Spader and William Shatner. The 2005-6 season boasts 27 episodes rather than the customary 22, largely because a handful remained unaired when Legal was bumped in the spring of '05 to make way for Grey's Anatomy, a surprise hit that retained the much-coveted Sunday evening time slot. Therefore, the first five episodes of Season 2 tie up loose ends from the previous year; these include the departure of Rhona Mitra's Tara Wilson and Monica Potter's Lori Colson. Kelley also had the good sense to dispose of semi-regular Betty White, whose caustic, homicidal secretary had gotten to be extremely annoying. The supporting casts are studded with recognizable stars, many of them recruited to appear in multiple-episode story arcs. One of them, talented young Kerry Washington, comes to the fore in "Race Ipsa" as an African-American engaged by Alan Shore (Spader) to help him win a controversial discrimination case. This same episode -- perhaps the best of the group -- finds Denny Crane (Shatner) under fire from his partners (Candice Bergen and Rene Auberjonois) after he shoots his therapist in self-defense. Another superb installment, "Deep End of the Poole," features the return of senior partner Edwin Poole (Larry Miller), recently released from a mental institution and disrupting the office while Shore is being targeted by a vengeful prosecutor (Alan Arkin). Boston Legal relies more heavily on humor than its predecessors, and while Kelley tends to rely too much on overused comic tropes, this series remains one of the most entertaining currently airing in prime time.
