I love Boston Legal. It is one of the few shows that actually causes me to laugh out loud.
Tonight the home run struck was really a grand slam. Of course the subject was a juicy and vulnerable one, Big Pharma. Denny Crane almost died and it turned out he was taking forty or fifty different prescription drugs a day. So the James Spader character got to sue big Pharma, and he didn't miss a trick in his attack.
I find this is the only place on non-PBS stations that you hear this kind of talk, and on this show it is done artfully and loquaciously, in the most delicious fashion. James Spader is always brilliant; his character represents the best voice of aware Boomer consciousness when he is going after these corrupt forces.
Hearing these arguments on mainstream TV gives me hope. Barack Obama might actually be able to effect some positive change if he can manage to get elected. There are still a lot of aware Americans, although I often wonder if we have 100 monkeys:)
What do you think, monkey?
