Description of Boston Legal - Season Three:
In year 3, Boston Legal continues to toggle with ease between comedy and pathos. The season begins on a bittersweet note as Denise (Julie Bowen) gets engaged to the terminally ill Daniel (Michael J. Fox), who disappears to try an experimental treatment. Enter two new litigators, smart-talking associate Claire Sims (Constance Zimmer) and cocky partner Jeffrey Coho (Craig Bierko). Once Daniel exits the picture, Jeffrey and Brad (Mark Valley) compete for Denise's affections. The firm soon welcomes a third new face: legal secretary Clarence (Gary Anthony Williams)--also known as Clarice, Clavant, and Oprah.
As before, cases vary from minor to major. Story arcs include the murder of a judge's wife (with Ashton Holmes as the suspect and Katey Sagal as his mother) and an outrageous peeping tom (David Dean Bottrell) with a jones for Shirley (Candice Bergen). Denny Crane (William Shatner), meanwhile, finds love with diminutive attorney Bethany (Meredith Eaton-Gilden)--and her mother, Bella (Delta Burke). And Alan (James Spader, who scored a second Emmy to add to the one he received for The Practice) helps former co-worker Jerry "Hands" Espenson (Christian Clemenson) out of a few jams. By the end of the season, Jeffrey is gone, while Jerry returns to Crane, Poole & Schmidt.
Throughout the year, the firm tackles a variety of timely issues, ranging from religious freedom to immigration law. Reporter Gracie Jane (Jill Brennan), a Nancy Grace doppelgänger, also comes in for some ribbing. Aside from recurring characters, like Jane Lynch (as a sexual surrogate), the third season counts a few actors behind the camera, such as Eric Stoltz ("Dumping Bella") and Adam Arkin ("Nuts"), from David E. Kelley's Chicago Hope. The featurette Character Witness looks at the year's most colorful characters--turns out Spader and Clemenson are old friends--and Out of Order looks at the judges, notably Gail O'Grady, Howard Hesseman, and Shelley Berman. --Kathleen C.

Stills from Boston Legal: Season Three Boston Legal - Season Three Reviews:
very disappointed 
2009-08-29 - I never received this item. I contacted the company who was to send it but they said,NOT OUR PROBLEM." They told me to track it. They should be the ones to track the item. THEY sent it.THEY have the mailing receipt, not me. I will NEVER buy from them again, and will tell my friends and e-mail list not to either. I'm VERY disappointed.
Another Kelley Homerun ! 
2009-07-16 - I picked up Season Three of Boston Legal, because I am a big fan of many of the Star Trek actors who are regulars or guest stars on the program. William Shatner is obviously at the forefront. That said, the formidable team of Rene A and Armin S also appear on the scene minus all of the prosthetic "alien parts" they wore in DS9 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Complete Series (Seasons 1-7). Speaking of aliens you may know, actor Ethan Phillips beams in from the Starship Voyager Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Seventh Season to take his turn as the dad of a suspected judge killer. The rest of the cast - including Murphy Brown's Murphy Brown: The Complete First Season Candice Bergen, and the always-fun James Spader - provide tremendous variety and enthusiasm.
All of this said, I expected the show to be a lot of fun, as I have enjoyed other David E Kelley productions such as Ally McBeal and The Practice. And Boston Legal does not disappoint. The writing reminds me a great deal of the legal drama and character-driven antics found in Ally. Shatner's would-be romance with a petit attorney could go toe-to-toe with the escapades of McBeal's fetish-obsessed Richard Fish('bygones').
The show is silly and serious and fans of other David E Kelley creations, are certain to devour it with much gusto. Highly recommended.
Good Stuff. 
2009-06-09 - It was everything I ordered. Unfortunately I didn't read the print well enough and the set came without a cover box. However, this was in the product description and hardly the fault of the seller.
Good product, no problems.
If you enjoy Schmidt happening......
2009-04-24 - If you love the series then you will have no complaints. More of the same, thank god, and the new characters are good. If for some reason you are going to buy just one season of BL I would go for the 1st or 2nd over this one, but that is not a complaint, just a statement concerning relative merits. RIP BL, I unplugged the cable when you went off the air.
AWESOME!

This show is so diversified in it's characters & in the stories. I am hooked! It is rare that I can actually believe that this in not real life..... or is it?
