October 04, 2004Denny Craneoriginally, the spin-off of the practice was going to be called fleet street (note the url), but they smartly renamed it boston legal. the last season of the practice focused more on james spader's character (alan shore) and the spin-off will be following through with that effort. it took me some time before i could seperate in my head alan shore from spader's other attorney character e. edward grey in secretary where he plays an equally as quirky lawyer and clearly because the right choice of actor to play shore. the debut has shore in typical form -- doing the right things, but in ways that often offend everyone around him. his ability to be ok with that is admirable in a strange sort of way. as the show progresses, i fully expect that he'll partner up at the firm, perhaps taking over for the firms infamous leader played by william shatner (denny crane). they are quite the duo. so i'm back to watching broadcast television and can hopefully avoid missing too many episodes. i used to enjoy la law and was thankful when the practice came along to fill that void. this time i didn't have to wait long for the next show to take over.
