3.0 out of 5 stars I don't know..., May 5, 2007
By Lovblad (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
After having read the reviews I bought this rather pricey DVD. I am a great fan of Boston Legal and was however really disappointed. Indeed, the whole thing is conducted in a really stiff way. One would think that they are at a meeting of the UN council discussing world peace or something like that. Also a writer for Rolling Stone magazine (come on, that is one paper that is over-the-hill and which never really was good with movie reviews)who thinks he is funny and intelligent introduces the whole thing. I mean this is too much. Also some of the actors come over as stiff and much less lively than on the show. James Spader for example was really disappointing: I mean in the show he is fantastic and here...a bore. Buy this only if you must.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lackluster Legalisms, September 27, 2007
By C. L. Kingsley "Sakurako" (Hartford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love Boston Legal and by the end of August, deprived of my weekly injection of intelligent and creative zaniness, I'll do anything to see a new showcase of the talents of this group of actors and writers. The DVD for Season 3 wasn't available yet, so I ordered this DVD instead. I thought it would be sort of a roast of the series or at least a fun way to get the actors' perspectives on their characters.

I was wrong. The format for this panel discussion was surprisingly banal. I assume someone must have edited the live talk show this was taped from but there were still yawn-making pauses while the microphone slowly traveled from one audience member to another so they could address questions to the panel. The actors were mostly quite amusing but couldn't say anything unless they were called on. The producer and director took themselves far more seriously than I had expected.

This is not a FUN video, although there were a few interesting behind the scenes insights. For example, Renee Auberjonois' character was added because it was felt that at least ONE person at the law firm should look like they took life seriously and were working hard to make sure the executive john didn't run out of toilet paper. Now I understand why they are writing him out for Season 4 but I felt his amazing talents were always underutilized on this show. He got the same backseat treatment on the panel.

If this ever comes up as a "4-for-3" special and you can get it for free, without paying shipping, it would be worth that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and enjoyable, July 9, 2006
It's nice to see these folks outside of the courtroom. They seem to really enjoy each other's company, and I recommend this for the die-hard 'Boston Legal' fan.
