  • Boston Legal has many examples of how to break the fourth wall.
    Almost Shakespearian.

    One of my favorites is an episode where Alan and Denny don't interact with each other until the very end and they're at the balcony, and Alan says "There you are. Haven't seen you all episode." Makes me laugh every time.

      There was also the one Alan says "The call them cling-ons", and Denny responds "Did you say, 'Klingons'?"

    Breaking the fourth wall was ALWAYS one of the things I found most endearing about this show! And they always made it so cool and appropriate.

    There's also a clip where Shore places a wooden box in the middle of the courtroom floor and stands on it. When the Judge asks what he's doing, he says "Climbing on my soapbox Judge, I do it once a week".

      It garnered 7 to 10 million views when it aired, won a Peabody, and Spader won 2 Emmys-beating James Gandolfini in his last year on "The Sopranos". I don't think "underrated" is correct.

    How about where there is the Scott Little trial episodes, Alan and Denny have a conversation. The gist is that Alan is basically, "there is a big case going on and neither of us is involved; usually isn't it supposed to be about us?"

    When Jerry is up for partner in the final season, he talks about the possibility of him, Denny, and Alan getting a spinoff. He even asks Sack if he wants to be part of it.

      @@MrJamberee I meant "crazy" in a good way.☺ 2x23 wasn't even Kerry's 1st appearance with Alan. She worked a Death Row case him in sn 1, I think. That ep., (2x23) IS full of fourth wall breaks, tho. My favorite is 2x4: "Finding Nimmo" when Denny looks directly into the camera,😂 and later tells a lawyer "not to lecture him on the environment while he's trying to enjoy nature", and Alan replies: "All reality, none of it scripted."😆😂😂😂
