Boston Legal
Just recently I started to watch this show on the ION channel called Boston Legal. Right now it is all reruns and I am trying to catch up on the background of the characters. The two I really like is Denny Craig played by William Shatner of Star Track Fame and his best friend Allen Shore played by James Spader. Now what is unique about the two of them is that Denny is a Republican and a staunch Conservative and Allen is a Democrat and a big Liberal as is most of the rest of the cast. What is really interesting is even though their politics are so different they are still the best of friends. You see I can relate to this because my best friend Roz is a liberal and we do have some interesting conversation and we still remain friends. The first time I turned on Boston Legal I was a little up set because of the way they portray Republicans, you know the stereo type extreme right wing wacko’s but Democrats as down to earth, understanding and compassionate. Then I said Dave what do you expect it’s Hollywood and they will always portray us as wacko’s distort our positions and of cause just about every subject dealing with show ends up being Bush’s fault. So I decided to watch another episode and found that once I was able to get past the left wing bias I found the show extremely entertaining after all it is only a comedy. Of cause they say drama but we will have to disagree on that.
