Boston Legal To The Rescue! Watch It - It Will Do Your Heart Good

[On Par]

If you didn't see it Tuesday night, noted creator/writer David E. Kelly of Boston Legal wrote a speech that was powerfully and profoundly delivered by James Spader. It's the speech we all want to hear. And while it wasn't delivered by a voice in Washington DC, for a brief and shining moment, I was once again reminded of how it was to be a proud American. While I can't yet find the text, this is the video from Crooks and Liars.

[Debi]

2. My husband is a Trial Lawyer and we NEVER miss that show

(He walks around saying "Denny Crane" thinking it will work in court :eyes:)

Tuesday night's show was awesome - I still have Spader's voice in my head yelling "She's an AMERICAN, she's and AMERICAN".

Soooooo Cool!

3. That Was Great... wow, TV?

who needs cable?

4. Alan Shore gets off a great line about the Bush admin almost every week

If you watch this show all the time, it will make your heart feel good that at least the writers for this show are tuned into what's going on and its current. Last night was just truly great.

5. great speech, too sad it wasn't for real, so what was the verdict?

[MSgt213]

6. She got no jail time. I think the jury found her guilty. Judge ruled

[On Par]

8. Guilty - $1000 dollar fine - 3 months jail suspended.

She owed $400, so with interest and penalties, Judge "Shelly Berman" a comedian by trade in real-life, issued what those costs totalled.

7. Network & time, please?

9. Tuesday's 10PM on ABC

Kelly has stopped trying to be fair and balanced. He's tossed off the cast that was suppose to bring in the 19-49 targeted group, and has gone with mostly seasoned pros, and a liberal bias.

14. I was flipping through the channels

And came across this character having a cigar with Shatner. I guess that must mean I just missed it.

Awesome scene.

[On Par]

16. You Were About 5 minutes, and one commerical too late.

Howver, for once the bad thing about TV - reruns - may be a good thing!

[boobooday]

17. Ah, but the internet is even better

Thanks for posting the link!

[KatyaR]

18. That scene gave me chills, but I have one question?

I haven't watched this show in ages--is it just me, or is James Spader slowly morphing into William Shatner? I hardly recognized him . . . .

[On Par]

20. If Spader says "Beam Me Up Scotty" You've got a winner!

[On Par]

21. Time To Bump This Up to "Greatest!" And Give Everyone A Chance

...to view it !

Three cheers to David E. Kelly for writing it, and James Spader for delivering it in such a profound and powerful way.

[blue cat]

19. Watched at crooksandliars.com

Made me cry. I'm just so emotional about my country being brought down by Bushco's policies.

[On Par]

22. I Had A Tear As Well....For How Far We Have Fallen

..and how divided we are.

In the cigar scene Spader says "We've become a mean people." The divider and not the uniter made it that way. It's going to take a generation to heal these wounds.

[On Par]

23. Bump It To "Greatest !" So Everyone Can Enjoy It !
