Mr. Meta

Last night's "Boston Legal" (paraphrased from memory):

Alan Shore: Does it bother, you, Denny, that there's a major murder case going on in this firm and we're not front and center?

Audience: Duh!

Why have they been relegated so much to a sideshow (well, Denny always is, but you know)? And the murder case? Kinda boring, at least given how much time and how many episodes it's been given.

One of these days I will learn how to pronounce "Auberjonois" correctly. And I took French for five years!

Boston Legal
9 p.m., ABC
Michael J. Fox is back as cancer-stricken millionaire Daniel Post, who gets in legal trouble for trying to buy a healthy lung. Christian Clemenson is also back in his Emmy-winning role of “Hands,” as is Parker Posey, who continues to pique Alan’s curiosity. William Shatner and Candice Bergen are back, too. And oh yeah, Julie Bowen, Rene Auberjonois and Mark Valley, too. That’s a lot of actors.

The rest? Why, here, of course!
