For me, this is one of the best shows on television! If you haven't had a chance to see this yet, I highly recommend it. I suppose I could have listed it in drama, but I prefer the humor of the show. James Spader and William Shatner play off each other so well!
But... I don't care for the new lawyer, Jeffrey Coho, they have on the show. I think the actor does a great job, I just don't like the character.
Anyone else hooked on this show?

I love this show, too!
It's actually my husband's favorite show.
The relationship between William Shatner and James Spader's characters is one of a kind. They are both such jerks, but huge fun to watch. The writing is amazing.
I also think it's wonderful that they have Shirley Schmidt (Candace Bergman) as such a strong woman who all the men want. We rarely get to see a woman of retirment age who is still treated like she's desirable, attractive and interesting.
They do so many over-the-top, outrageous things on this show. I hope people don't think it's just a law show. There are physical brawls between the lawyers in the firm. Crazy characters, bizarre sexual situations, and all kinds of funny stuff.
I especially love how they refer to the fact that it's a show, like when Shatner (Denny Crane) said to Candace Bergman at the end of last season, "Come one, Shirley. It's the season finale. Shouldn't we have one kiss?" And she kissed him!
Or when Coeho and his cohorts showed up in the second episode of this season. Coeho said, "We're the new guys."
Denny Crane retorted, "That's ridiculous. If there were new guys they would have been in the season premiere."
LMAO. Love that Denny Crane! My favorite moment was when the judge appointed him to represent this horrific killer, and wouldn't let him out of it. So when he was alone in counsel with the killer, Denny took a gun out of his briefcase and shot him in the knee. It was so crazy. Then Denny claimed the guy had attacked him and it was self-defense. And he got away with it!
I think that anyone who likes outrageous comedy would love this show.

"Denny Crane. Tricks are for kids. Denny Crane. I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs." LOL...I Love it when Denny goes through a crowd of reporters saying that ;D Not to mention his obsession with "Mad Cow Disease"

My favorite Denny Crane moment is when he told the judge he had mad cow, then said he thinks the judge has it too. "Look at his eyes!" Or, in the bathroom when he yelled "lock and load." He cracks me up.
