Ok so it started a few weeks ago, but only caught up with the first 3 seasons.
Nice start to a new season and alot of the old cast members have gone, but some will be back for cameo roles.
And just to get everyone in the BL mood here are a few excellent quotes from past seasons that they like to call meta-references (talking about the show itself in the storyline) :notworthy
In the episode "An Eye for an Eye", Alan is asked if there is "someplace he'd rather be" to which he quips that he'd like to be on cable as that is where all of the best work is being done.
In "Gone", Denny, after shooting a homeless man in the face with a paintball gun, tells Alan, "They can't get rid of me, I'm the star of the show!"
* In the same episode, Denny tells Alan while on the balcony "I can act, I won an Emmy." William Shatner who plays Denny Crane has won two Emmys for the role. Alan Shore responded, "Just the same", as James Spader has also won two.
* Denny complained that he was "tired of [his] Alzheimer's being a story point."
* Alan says to Denny, "Ah, there you are. I've hardly seen you this episode."
In the second episode of the third season, "New Kids on the Block", a new male law partner and a law associate arrive at the firm and tell Denny they are the new guys, to which Denny responds, "If there were new guys they would have shown up in the season premiere." Then, Denny grabs the new girl's buttocks and says "Welcome to Boston Legal." After she complains, Denny looks at the camera and says, "Cue the music", at which point the opening credits begin. As the opening logo to the show slides on from off camera, Craig Bierko's character Jeffrey is seen to be looking back and forth as if 'seeing' the credits transition on screen.
This is my fave :notworthy
In "Guantanamo by the Bay", Jerry Espenson tells Shirley Schmidt he hears a "happy song" in his head. When she asks him to sing it, he begins to sing the Boston Legal theme song as the credits begin. He can be heard and seen throughout the credits singing along. During Candice Bergen's intro shot on the opening credits, a startled Shirley Schmidt can be seen listening to Jerry Espenson rather than the stock footage of Schmidt.
