About the only thing I watch on television these days is Boston Legal<\/i>. Part stems from my loyalty to The Practice<\/i> for so many years. Part stems from my love of the cast–James Spader, William Shatner, and now Candice Bergen (who is still pretty damn attractive).<\/p>\n
I realized a few weeks ago that in Star Trek: Generations<\/b> it wasn’t James Kirk that Picard found in the Nexus. No, it was Denny Crane. Watch the “cooking with the Captains” scene in Generations<\/b>. Watch the way Shatner approaches his role in that scene. That’s Denny Crane in the scene, not James Tiberius Kirk.<\/p>\n
Shatner has found his role. Shatner has the role that will define the way he’s remembered. And that’s Denny Crane, not James Tiberius Kirk.<\/p>\n
I don’t know how long Boston Legal<\/i> will last. I hope a few years, maybe three or four. It’s not The Practice<\/i>, and I like it for different reasons than I liked The Practice<\/i>, but as long as Denny Crane is along for the ride I’ll be watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
