DVD Review of Boston Legal Season 4


Boston legal has one of the most intimate, loving, committed relationships I’ve ever seen on television. And that relationship just so happens to be between two heterosexual males. Denny Crane and Alan Shore of Crane, Poole, and Schdmidt, two of Boston Legal’s finest.

David E. Kelley can make you hope and believe in anything. I actually believe if men could develop and keep relationships such as this one on Boston Legal the world would be a much better place.

In Season 4 of Boston Legal the most notable additions to the cast are John Larroquette and Tara Summers. Boston Legal Season 4 opens with Alan Shore defending senior partner Shirley Schdmidt. Jerry Espenson assists new lawyer Katie Lloyd on her very first case; which happens to be a capital murder trial. Clarence/Clarice Bell gets into trouble with the new senior partner Carl Sack played by John Larroquette. Alan in his newly committed relationship is given an ultimatum, and then enters a sexy litigator from his past to stir up trouble.

Wilds antics definitely ensue with this quirky cast of characters. But don’t let the side splitting laughter fool you. David E. Kelley and his staff of writers manage to brilliantly weave in up to the minute news stories with their ingenious twists along with the most talked about social issues of our day. Anything you might consider taboo is covered on Boston Legal and it’s done by giving equal time to both sides of the issue. If it shouldn’t be said or done then you know Denny Crane either does one or both.

Season 4 of Boston Legal will have you engaged from beginning to end. This is undoubtedly one of the best court room dramas ever done. This Emmy award winning series has single-handedly revived the careers of James Spader and William Shatner.

With that being said Boston Legal Season 4 is definitely one DVD worth watching.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 a DVD Review

Ah, Grey’s Anatomy the baby of executive producer Shonda Rhimes. Is the fourth season of Grey’s Anatomy still going strong or does it begin to waiver? Let’s find out.

First, let’s briefly recap Season 3 of Grey’s Anatomy. In Season 3 Cristina is left at the alter by Dr. Burke which not only shatters Cristina but Meredith also. Izzy slept with George and told him that she was in love with him. The chief appointed Dr. Torres as chief resident instead of Miranda. Karev falls in love with his mystery patient Ava.

In Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 DVD we pick up where we left off last season. It’s a new day at Seattle Grace and fresh new interns have arrived. To everyone’s surprise Meredith’s sister Lexie is one of the new interns at Seattle Grace.

Cristina is left to pick up the pieces after Dr. Burke’s departure from her life and Seattle Grace. After watching again how love has failed someone Meredith quickly withdraws from Dr. Shepherd.

Izzy bordering on stalking George wants him to face the fact that they are in love with each other. Poor Dr. Torres realizes that her marriage is falling apart. George wants to do the right thing, but as usual love conquers all. Or does it? You’ll have to watch the Season 4 DVD of Grey’s Anatomy to find out.

Dr. Bailey who is the rock of Seattle Grace is having marital problems. We see how a woman whose career takes off strives to find a balance between work and home.

Typically in a medical drama you will see some very interesting medical mysteries, procedures and story lines that shock you and those that also pull at your heart strings. Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 DVD has all of that.

Seattle Grace has found a replacement for Dr. Burke who immediately takes a dislike to Cristina. McSteamy really needs a better story line. Now that Madison is gone it seems like they don’t know quite what to do with him.

One thing I did have a problem with is the back and forth between Meredith and Dr. Shepherd. Although, there has to be struggles and detours before the protagonist ends up with her love interest.

In the Season 4 DVD of Grey’s Anatomy unexpected relationships are formed revelations are revealed. Bonds are strengthened and a few surprises abound.

Overall Grey’s Anatomy Season 4 DVD is worth watching.
