Hey, it's Boston Legal-what's not to like?! This show has got something for everyone. The writing has been superb from Day One. The characters are glorious in their diversity, from Denny Crane ("lock and load" as he steps into a stall in the men's room, sports section in hand) to the beleaguered Paul Lewiston, trying desperately to maintain a modicum of Old World decorum in the midst of a microcosm of America's increasingly bizarre socio-economic landscape. One of the basic premises of this show seems to be that there are no sacred cows-equal opportunity irreverence reigns supreme. Tell me that you are not thoroughly tired of the current state of PC (political correctness) which makes one reluctant to express any kind of opinion at all for fear of reprisals ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. The good folks of Boston Legal never fail to show us just how ridiculous it has become. It's a big juicy slice of life with plenty of eye candy, lots of laughs and an undercurrent of caring and sharing that pulls it all together. The next time you have one of those days when you just want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head, lock and load some Boston Legal before doing the blanket thing. Works every time for me.

Being a long time fan of 'The Practice', I had recently purchased the entire series and while watching the last few episodes realized I had somehow missed in RealTime that Boston Legal was the "spinoff" or "continuation" of The Practice. The courtroom drama with intimate knowledge of the every day lives and quirks of the characters has made me a HUGE belated fan of Boston Legal. I have done more laughing out loud at television since getting this set than I have in years. You just learn to love to hate and hate to love each character and it is almost seamless the way new characters come in almost unnoticed and long standing ones go without really missing them. Great writing to character[s] and even better execution by the actors make this set a must have for the fan of courtroom type dramas. This will be the fifth and final season for the show--I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Hopefully there will be a spinoff" or "continuation" of this series. This set is very clear [NOT DARK AND GRAINY] and of course without commercials. Well worth the money!!!!!! 'DENNY CRANE'

I had just started watching Boston Legal recently and was immediately enthralled! The price for the 4 season was great and the show has lived up to my high expectations. For me, William Shatner makes the show - the quintessential chauvinist pig who is lacking a very important social filter! The characters are larger than life and it is pretty hard to imagine that people like these folks really exist - but I'm not watching it for the reality, only the entertainment value, which is huge. A very imaginative, thought-provoking show that keeps the watcher coming back for more - that's my rating!

I missed most of the first two seasons, so this package was a lifesaver! This is rapidly becoming my favorite show, and having it on DVD makes it possible to watch whenever I want. The extra info on each season is a lot of fun as well. And since I have an upconverting DVD player, I get a cleaner picture than watching the broadcast, even though the broadcast is in HD.

What a shame that the best thing to hit TV in years has shot its last episode. I just have to own the series. What a fabulous ensemble cast! They will be greatly missed in our household.

I dont watch TV. I hate commercials. But I saw an episode or two of Boston Legal and decided to buy the whole series! I have now watched the 4 seasons I bought (when will season 5 come out? I cant wait). These are beautifully recorded and mastered; there is no extraneous junk on the disks like trailers and other nonsense. It is just pure, unadulterated, hilarious, profound, awesome, Boston Legal! They address every issue imaginable in the world today and do it with wit, with heart, and with soul. I love this series and will probably wear the disks out watching them!!!

This is David E. Kelley's best work. It will make you laugh out loud at the craziness that goes on at this law firm in Boston. It's the fast-paced life of high-priced attorneys. The camaraderie between Alan Shore and Denny Crane will make you feel like the world is a better place because of them. The depth of their friendship can bring you to tears of emotion and laughter. After the first disk you will love them both. You will not ever regret buying this set.
I am sad to see the show come to an end.

First, I was very pleased with the very fast shipping from Amazon. I live in Canada and my estimated delivery date was about 3-4 weeks after I purchased. Much to my surprise, the videos came in less than 2 weeks.

The videos themselves are very nice quality with good-looking menus and bonus features. Each season comes in well-designed cases.

I would recommend this amazing value to any Boston Legal fan!

Best price ever!!! Quick and easy!! Looked at Best Buy and could not even buy 2 series for the price of all 4. My purchase was new dvds and I opened an Amazon Charge and saved even more money!Pays to research a little bit since it was a X-mas gift for a Boston Legal Fan.

My husband is a HUGE William Shatner fan....ME....not so much.I thought Picard was the better Enterprise captain.
Being a fan of The Practice, I was amazed at how great Boston Legal was. I kept telling my husband that he should watch the show, but he had a tough time not seeing William Shatner playing something other than Captain Kirk.
Then the reruns started playing on ION TV....and he was hooked! He's so excited about getting Season 1 thru 4 on DVD so that he can watch the shows in the order they aired an see the ones he's missed.
And I'm a HUGE William Shatner fan now also.
I will be buying season 5.
