My wife and I loved to sit and watch Boston Legal for its clever wit and story lines. We enjoyed the humor when it mocked all political parties and their members.

I enjoyed the show so much that I bought seasons 1-3 on DVD. Sadly we became steadily uncomfortable by the left wing political messages that were being forced down our necks by season 4 and 5. The humor became very partisan with the right being touted as gun swinging religious zealots with mental impairment and the left as intelligent, caring and thoughtful human beings. There seemed to be nothing in between.

The worst episode for me was on the eve of the presidential election when Denny admitted to voting for the Democrats, the whole episode was nothing more than an outrageous play to swing viewers votes firmly to the left.

This show is supposed to be light hearted entertainment and should have been presented as such. But it actually became nothing more than a party political broadcast on behalf of the Democratic party. Actually it was less than that, it became a party political broadcast on behalf of the Democratic party disguised as entertainment. A subliminal parley to get your vote without you even realizing.

I am pleased the series is now over, I would have not watched another episode.

This is why I give this show one star.

Boston legal went from being really funny to being really annoying over the course of its five seasons. If I wanted to be preached at about the liberal point of view, I’d listen to the network news. In the beginning Boston legal was mostly funny with occasional bits of “Hollywood wisdom.” The final season consisted mostly of blatant sermons espousing the Hollywood take on social issues with extremely rare bits of humor and entertainment thrown in, like finding the occasional kernel of corn in the stuff on a feed lot. Five thumbs down. Even Shatner’s usual excellent comedic performance couldn’t save it from being a ponderous preachy bore.

i have all 5 seasons and this last one had just a few laughs and was to political and a real disapointment
