Boston Legal Did That Have to be the Last Episode As you might expect, the David E. Kelley series went out in its own quirky fashion. Though the TV show has had its up and downs, some of this seasons episodes have been the series most outrageous and poignant. Did it really have to end Boston Legal is a direct spin off of Kelleys previous ABC legal drama, The Practice. The TV show revolves around the legal workers at the Boston firm of Crane, Poole and Schmidt. Alan Shore James Spader is the offices most outspoken lawyer who ends up taking on the most outlandish and controversial cases. His best friend is firm senior partner Denny Crane William Shatner, a once legendary litigator who exhibits outrageous behavior due to the advancement of Alzheimers. Other partners include Shirley Schmidt Candice Bergen, Paul Lewiston Rene Auberjonois, Carl Sack John Larroquette, and, most recently, socially inept Jerry Espensen Christian Clemenson. Other ongoing characters have been played by Mark Valley, Julie Bowen, Gary Anthony Williams, Tara Summers, Henry Gibson, Constance Zimmer, Monica Potter, Rhona Mitra, Saffron Burrows, Meredith Eaton, Taraji P. Henson, Justin Mentell, Ryan Michelle Bathe, Betty White, and Craig Bierko. The dramady debuted on October 3, 2. ABC.

The ratings slowly declined each successive year and last season, Legal averaged 9. Though thats still a decent audience, ABC announced that season five would be the final one. It was initially reported that Kelley had to fight to get a shortened fifth year to wrap things up. Then, it was spun as a mutual decision.

Give us something to watch, dammit Kelley believes the demographics are only part of the reason why Legal received its walking papers. The series has received minimal promotion this year and the shows creator has doubts that the network execs have even watched it. He notes, Five years into the show, if anyone has ever seen the show at ABC, theyve yet to bring it to my attention.
