At the chaotic law firm of Crane Poole & Schmidt, there’s no such thing as temporary insanity – it’s more of a permanent condition! Amid torrid interoffice love affairs, and under the watchful eye of new senior partner Carl Sack, the firm’s brilliant but volatile attorneys take on such burning social issues as the death penalty, gays in the military, euthanasia, mortgage foreclosures, going green, racism, obesity and animal rights. So enjoy a stiff drink and light a cigar as the fourth season of the seriously addicting legal drama “Boston Legal” lands on DVD September 23rd from Fox Home Entertainment.
Headlining the stellar ensemble cast are James Spader** (Secretary, Sex Lies and Videotape) and William Shatner* (”Star Trek”), starring in their respective Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning roles as two unlikely kindred spirits among the brigade of high-priced litigators at Crane Poole & Schmidt; matching forces in her Emmy nominated role is Candice Bergen*** (”Murphy Brown”) playing the vigilant founding partner; and former TV lawyer John Larroquette**** (”Night Court”) joins the firm as the new senior lawyer from the New York office.
From prolific television producing and writing icon David E. Kelley (”Ally McBeal,” “The Practice”) “Boston Legal” tells the professional and personal stories of a group of brilliant, but often emotionally challenged attorneys. Sometimes irreverent and funny, sometimes intense and moving, “Boston Legal” prides itself on being at the forefront of issue-oriented television, often addressing issues that are underreported by the media. Fast paced and darkly comedic, the series confronts social and moral issues, while its characters continually stretch the boundaries of the law. Nominated for an EmmyÒ Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2007, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences recently honored the show with their Television Academy Honors, recognizing television with a conscience and achievements in programming that present issues of concern to society in a compelling, emotional and insightful way. The five-disc “Boston Legal” Season Four DVD collection includes all 20 episodes from the fourth season along with “The New Kids on the Courtroom Floor” behind-the-scenes featurette and will be available for the suggested retail price of $59.98 U.S. / $89.98 Canada.
