Boston Finale; The next Best Thing

Boston Legal's Finale was great! Brad and Denise' baby made her debut! Cute. Jerry (Hands) and Clarence take a case in which a woman is issued a line of credit by a casino, and loses it all, wrecking her credit because she cannot afford to pay off the loan. Alan offers the number of a friend who is an expert in the behind the scenes happenings in casinos. But, it comes to be, that she only speaks Russian. They get an interpreter and they find out that casinos pump something into their air that makes people feel happy and comfortable. I can't remember what they called it. The attorney for the casino is told this along with all the other things that make you comfortable and feeling good in the casino like the scantily clad cocktail waitresses and waiters that bring the players drinks free of charge as long as they are playing, all the bells and whistles, the lighting, the music etc. So he mentions the feel good air enhancement. Enter Shirley Schmidt. She doesn't think that Jerry and Clarence can handle the case and advises them to take an indian nickle if that is what offer comes down. However, the offer is 225,000. After Jerry looks at the note, then Clarence, then Shirley, Shirley says quite cooly, we'll advise our client of your offer. Man!

Meanwhile Denny Crane and Alan Shore are defending two brothers that are accused of killing their abusive father. (Menendez brother like) Their mother swears they didn't do it, but all the evidence points at the boys. She has the alibi of being at the dentist, which her dentist confirms. then she comes up with a ploy by enticing the dentist into an affair and sends Alan and Denny the used condoms in blank, though watermarked, medical stationary. That doesn't work. They don't believe her and the prosecuter tears the dentist to shreds. So they come up with the idea for the boys to take the stand and defend themselves because if they cannot convince the jury, they are going to get life in prison. So on the stand they go. And they snitch on each other! One says the other one shot their dad and then the other one does the same! Why? To create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors! Genius! Naturally the jury comes back with Not Guilty for both boys and Denny Crane's legendary undefeated status still stands! To the Balcony for scotch and cigars, boys! Oh, and yes. There's the sleepover. Can't wait till next season!



Did you watch The Next Best Thing? I agreed with judges on all their picks. I do think that the chick who did the Ann Margaret impersonation was good, but she never shut up! So, she didn't get picked. But, the Jackie Gleason/Art Carney duo was the best! They nailed it! The guy who did Robin Williams, and the one who did Jack Nicholson was awesome. Not so great was the Bono impersonator, the Al Pacino impersonater, but they made it through. Eeeh on Celine Dion, Lucille Ball. The Little Richard impersonator was really good too. And the one who did President Bush (George W) was so funny! Really good make up (4 hours worth, he told them) and had the voice and the mannerisms! He was REALLY good. 9 acts going onto Burbank. So we'll see what they get next week from New York...... It is definitely not Idol!
