Ally McBeal

One of the best shows to ever hit TV. There are some pretty negative comments here, but I know why. Folks are angry that the show changed in the last few seasons and they are disappointed that it ended. The first three seasons you couldn't go to the water cooler if you had not watched the show and had some little tid-bit to say about what you saw. That spells great writing and fabulous performances to me. Calista Flockhart is a wonderful person and a terrific actress. She made the show work. without her, no Ally. There are episodes that are priceless. The dancing baby is unique and entertaining. No one had ever taken that kind of risk on TV. A computerized baby dancing with real people. Of course everyone's doing it now. I believe Ally Mcbeal to be a classic.

I recently started watching this show again because I enjoyed it when it first came out. On this latest binge watch I found that I still enjoyed it except it being the longest running infomercial for Vonda Shepard. I cannot stand her singing now , i'm just sick of her droning voice. Thankfully that kind of music monopoly doesn't exist in today's TV shows.

Ally McBeal was ahead of its time. I found the first three seasons compelling, but after that it was not so much. Ally McBeal and The Practice were the two series I watched. Ally McBeal was first, and then The Practice, and it was my evening viewing in my younger days when I could stay up and watch whatever was on the tube.

Like, why? Why is she in every episode? Far too much Vonda

An absolutely brilliant TV show. It genuinely deals with the abserdity of law (with amazing detail) and life. John Cage and Richard Fish are, without a doubt, the funniest characters in the show. Ally is also very good. It's one of those shows which makes you say "I wish my life was like that..." and you strangely join the show on an emotional ride. I think we can all safely say that we miss Happy Boyle... ...a must watch.
