I Pop a Chubby Everytime I Hear the Name…

Denny Crane

The Boston Legal: Fifth Season DVD went on sale Tuesday. I could hardly contain myself.

Because of the weird hours I work, I got rid of my cable television subscription and became a DVD-only televsion viewer. It can be a pain at times — like when I'm trying to remain ignorant about the current plot of shows, like Battlestar Galactica — but for the most part, it's actually a better way to watch television: no commercials, no cliffhangers.

But this has been killing me, one, because I love the show and, two, because it's the final season. Actually, I like any law show (you know, I went to Perry Mason Law School and am licensed to practice law on television), but over the last four seasons, this one has boldly gone where no law show has gone before, and I'm going to miss it, especially the main characters, Allan Shore and Denny Crane.

Whoops. There I go.
