Boston Legal's Monday episode saw a satisfying conclusion that left viewers wanting more. Unfortunately, that episode marked the ending of the legal drama's five-year run. And even though series creator David E. Kelley, the cast and crew, as well as the fans of Boston Legal, wanted the show to linger on for at least another season, that decision was sadly up to ABC, which opted to pull the plug on the program this year.
"ABC didn't want us back," Kelley told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "It's as simple as that. They didn't even want us back for this year at all. We had to fight to get back on with 13. It's not a product they care to market."

Crane, Poole & Schmidt will plead its case one last time. After five seasons, David E. Kelley's offbeat legal drama Boston Legal is calling it a night with a two-hour finale called "Made in China" and "Last Call," which finds the infamous law firm in dire financial straits. There's no telling how the show will come to an end, but the series won't be the same if Alan and Denny don't get to share one last cigar smoke on the balcony.

As the spin-off of The Practice nears its December 8 series finale, the Emmy-winning writer-producer of Boston Legal David Kelley is said to find himself without a television series for the first time in two decades. For the fans of the legal dramedy who are dreading to see its five-season run come to a close, NBC recently scooped up a script by Kelley for a possible Fall 2009 premiere. The script is reportedly about an aging lawyer who works with his adult daughter at a Chicago firm. The premise sounds pretty bland at this point, but additional developments should be in the offing.
“It'll feature a cauldron of eccentric characters,” Kelley tells Entertainment Weekly. “It's much more of a comedy than some of my other shows. Some of the [touches] will remind you of Boston Legal and Ally McBeal, but it won't be an issue- or case-driven show. It's about the comedic relationship.”

The last episode of Boston Legal opened with Carl Sack, Shirley and Alan staring intently at Denny's eyeball. So he went to Shirley for medical advice. Meanwhile, some have commented how it had come to that: the four top lawyers of a top law firm all lounging around and doing nothing, when someone who looked like a poor person came in. Also, it was weird, according to some, how Bill Shatner assured James Spader that him losing an Emmy had nothing to do with “being the star of the show.” It sure broke the proverbial fourth wall.
Tonight on Boston Public, Alan Shore and Denny Crane take a break from all the lawyering and go to a Dude Ranch in Utah. However, they would soon find out that they have very little in common and find themselves at odds with some of their fellow enthusiasts in the ranch. Fortunately or not, Melvin Palmer happens to be at the same ranch so they call on him despite finding him irritating. Meanwhile, Shirley Schmidt has to defend someone who unintentionally blows up her doctor when she set his office on fire for prescribing potentially fatal medication.

On the last episode of Boston Legal, his ex-flame Phoebe Prentice called Alan (James Spader) to attest to the innocence of her husband in the murder of a nurse. Unbeknownst to her, Alan was secretly hoping that her husband was guilty and convicted to get a second chance at Phoebe. Meanwhile, Denny thought things would work out for Alan since the client looked kind of unlikable and the jury would most likely rule against him. It was a moral and professional dilemma on Crane, Poole & Schmidt.
On tonight's episode of Boston Legal, Alan and Shirley (Candice Bergen) are on for what looks like an uphill fight against the military while fighting on the side of a man whose brother died in a military hospital under suspicious circumstances. Meanwhile, Jerry (Christian Clemenson) has to help his sister Joy (Annie Potts) in her quest for the identity of the father of her son.
