Major upheavals have left Ellenor (Camryn Manheim), Eugene (Steve Harris) and Jimmy (Michael Badalucco) in charge of the firm. In an attempt to rebuild their ranks, Ellenor hires an old friend: the enigmatic and ethically-challenged Alan Shore (James Spader). Shore's brilliant-yet-highly-unorthodox methods succeed in winning big cases - but will they also threaten the future of the firm?

James Spader deserved every Emmy. I rarely watched The Practice but when I heard Spader was joining, I immediately started watching. Fantastic. Sharon Stone was also brilliant in her guest starring role.
I agree. I started watching The Practice in the 6th or 7th Season with my then wife. I thought it was good but when Shore joined it was unmissable. I was so shattered when it was cancelled but as we often get things delayed where I live (or used to), as soon as my disappointment had turned to despair, an ad popped up on the same network that aired it in my country saying something like "Love Alan Shore from The Practice? Then tune in next Friday for the new series Boston Legal, following Alan's exploits at his new law firm".
******** Spoiler Alert ********
I treasured every episode of Boston Legal, for it's humour, it's exceptional writing, the comedic antics and even it's quirky habit of regularly 'breaking the fourth wall' - e.g. Denny telling Alan not to pursue a female on the show because "She's only a guest star" or walking out for the end of episode balcony scene and Alan saying to Denny "Where have you been Denny, I haven't seen you all episode?" I think on one occasion followed up by Denny as the credits were about to roll saying to Alan "Hey, don't forget we're on on Thursday night next week instead of Friday" (or words to that effect). Another gem was Denny's impending marriage where his fiancé wanted to live in Hawaii to which Denny said "What am I supposed to do, BEAM myself to Boston every morning?" (a nod to his Star Trek past and the curious fact that the show seemed to be populated largely by ex Star Trek actors).
My favourite show as a teen, along with my Mum and Dad was Hill Street Blues. Bochco influenced David E Kelly who did The Practice and BL but also other great and quirky shows like Picket Fences. I sincerely wish Kelly would do another series like Boston Legal. It completely turned everyone's opinion of William Shatner as an actor around, forever no longer typecast as Captain Kirk.
James Spader, what an awesome actor
+Gustavo Hansen
I watched Nix deliver his apocalypse speech in Tomorrowland. I keep thinking James Spader could have been a better Nix.
@@thebrowntaipan He does Red Reddington and kills it on the blacklist
I could listen to Spader read a dinner menu, and be glued to the performance.
If he read that menu, the chef would be licking his shoes begging him to eat.
This scene never gets old. Such a talented actor.
Every single one of Alan Shore's closes gives me chills.
You mean David E. Kelly. :)
@@garyhughes723 what?
Denny Crane wouldn’t know…never listens…denny CRANE
@@swigzbyI think they’re referring to David E. Kelly’s writing and direction throughout the series. While that’s true to a certain extent, it needs a certain kind of actor to pull off an Alan Shore. Long story short, you’re still right.
James Spader is brilliant have never watched Boston Legal, but fell in love with Spader, (Reddington). In the Blacklist going to watch Boston Legal now because of Spader could listen to him talk all day.
he's insane in boston legal. for me, its my favorite series
Could start with season 8 of The Practice and then Boston Legal, that will be awesome 90 hours ....
In Boston legal he is even more brilliant
And I love the blacklist
You shall not be disappointed.
"I brought the pie ladies and gentlemen they didn't give me my slice" LOL
Only one Alan Shore. Only one James Spader-awesome actor!!
and only one Raymond Reddington!
James Spader is adorable. great actor and lovely man
It was when Alan Shore came into the Practice, everyone realized just how bland the entire show had been up to that point. That is why Boston Legal is the best law show ever made. Every single character is like fireworks ! Just absolutely amazing.
Loved watching clips on YT, that I asked Santa last year for the complete set....$45 on Amazon...worth every penny
100%
Several seasons are also available on Apple TV/Hulu
Practice gave birth to Boston legal....legal drama and reasoning in the practice is unprecedented.
Yeah. The Practice as a drama had good “drahma” content wise but was lacking magic. I think I remember that they even tried to do an Ally McBeal crossover to spice it up🤣
James Spader is Awesome!
Simply, the BEST! Im sure you enjoyed Boston Legal then :)
RockstahRolln That speed was backbreaking for Eugene and the firm. I remember watching this episode when it first came out. Then, I thought to myself how talented James was and still is. I enjoyed Boston Legal and am now enjoying Blacklist. He's truly the man.
pastlink98 Spot on! I too am truly enjoying Blacklist, his acting is simply fantastic!
intellectual vigor and a healthy moral compass, rear combination without all the BS
For those who watched it back in 2003-04, the last season of The Practice was amazing, though not an ending that was true to the character of the show for most of its run. The show had slowed down and barely survived cancellation and timeslot changes multiple times. They cut the budget and fired most of the cast and those who remained looked bored and tired. Then Spader took over and put on an acting clinic week after week.
I’d say Alan’s storyline’s were amazing....the rest of the show and characters was pretty weak in Season 8
The show was running on fumes by the time Bobby left. Alan Shore was the last gasp from a show that was ready to rest.
Boston Legal ended basically the same way the Practice did. Money issues, time slot issues, rating issues everything. David E Kelley had to negotiate hard jus to get that final season of BL it was on a strong verge to get canceled after the prior season. I didn't kno why cuz I thought the show was great. I'll say this the last season was the best season in my opinion
@@verlinden80 it was the ownership change of the channel. Not just BL but a lot of shows were cancelled that year, since the new owner didn't want the shows which didn't belong tô them. I think the rating were still pretty great even in last season.
@@verlinden80 Seems like The Blacklist is also going the same way
Did you hear that? The final nail into the coffin "He would go through all this & not give me my slice"
James Spader made the last season of the practice outstanding.
James Spader rocks!
I found Boston Legal in reruns a year ago, and ony show I can watch repeat episodes and enjoy that cast. Shartner and Spader are marvelous. Love to see that format more....
I am so delighted to read all the comments on Boston Legal and Alan Shore, though I have not seen the Practice. Boston Legal is not just good for the kind of issues it takes up in every episode, but also for the kind of office camaraderie that we need to emulate. The series changed my life, so much so that I would think and act like Alan Shore in my office. To tell you the truth, it has made me come out of my introvert behaviour. No one can beat James Spader in the role of Alan Shore, and I wonder if he would ever know how many lives he and David Kelley have changed by their TV series.
i hope you were joking when you said you act like alan shore, lol.
No, Jack Muller. I wasn't joking. One makes a lot of compromises everyday in the corporate world but on some fundamental issues you have to put your foot down even if it means losing your job. Second, I have a penchant for calling a spade a spade. After watching Alan Shore I stopped feeling bad about telling it like it is. Third, like Alan I am very good at estimating people and making good, worthy friends. And like him I have very few friends in office. Guess, I identified with that character. David Kelley's BL should enter the annals of filmmaking for making the best socially-relevant TV series and sub-texting.
The series astonished me ,made laugh and gave me pause to think. It was pure entertainment.
How does James Spapder not have at least 3 academy awards?
Probably because he does more TV than Film
He won THREE EMMYS for playing Alan Shore! The first for The Practice and the other two for Boston Legal.
It's one hell of a defence "I am a terrible person and a criminal and my opponent is one of the best and most upstanding people I've ever met".
Yes. But it highlights the hypocrisy of Eugene and the right to Alan's equity share.
Great actor, great writing. Tnx!
Thats an immaculate speech,it cldnt get any better
It’s not often the spin-off is more well-regarded than the original ala here or NCIS being a spin-off of JAG. The Practice suffered from a lot of backstage issues but casting wasn’t one of them. Spader being cast was a stroke of genius. It was literally the type of role that saved his life tbh.
Damn. I just started watching this show. I was too young at the time. I love it!!! Please reboot it.
This was the introduction of Allan shore by far the best acting lawyer performance. I have yet to see anyone actor top such a role! 🎉 have your flowers!
kudos to the acting, the writing, and the perfect music
I Feel Like I'm Listening To One Of Reddington's Classic Stories!
Same here
Exactly
Love the show everyone of them
I loved The Practice, but Boston Legal has just enough humor to really make it different
Hey anything with Denny Crane and Alan Shore is great right? :D
Has just enough DENNY CRANE to be different 😅
wowooh!
I'm so impressed by Alan Shore.
he's really smart and incredibly smart advocate.
Alan, I love you men.
It was this scene that got me into watching the rest of 'The Practice' series.
I love James Spader & I Love BLACKLIST.. Never miss it.. Australia.....
Love James Spader!
I watch 7 season of the practice, just to enjoy the 8th, when Alan shows up.
"No Strings on me!"
Go Ultron c:
I loved this show and all the characters! I miss this show.
I am watching The Practice on Hulu right now and I am on 2nd season. Can't wait when Alan Shore shows up!
You're in for a long wait! ;)
@@codyw1 lol, right?
It became mandatory viewing when James Spader & Rhona Mitra joined a third or fourth rate show
Alan Shore's closings are so convincing that sometimes, like in this situation, the wait for the Jury is unnecessary.
Please release the complete series on DVD!!!!
The eighth season for 'The Practice' is one of those great examples of being able to make one of your greatest seasons from unfortunate conditions. As everyone knows, the budget cuts caused most of the cast to leave - however they were able to create a plot around why those characters left and the repercussions of that, bringing in a new character played by a great actor (James Spader) to interact with the remaining characters, building the entire season around it. The tail end of the season did become a bit of a prelude episodes to 'Boston Legal', but I think they were able to wrap up 'The Practice' at the same time by breathing new life into the show one last time.
The only other show I think did that well was "X-Files" Season 8 when David Duccuvney left and only appears in half the season, building a mystery story arc around his character that refreshed the entire show.
All I need to here is the first thing he says and I know why he was chosen to play Raymond Reddington.
This looks like his audition reel 😂
James Spader in Season 8 was such a revelation. Saved the series. Season 5,6,7 were okiesh.
if i could.... have this speech for my next court case.. DAMN! well put
I missed Boston Legal (France) I hope they'll rerun it. Fortunately, we have The Blacklist! 👌👌👌
Adorable amazing spader
@Debbie Kidman: Hopefully you've watched James Spader as Alan Shore in Boston Legal; Raymond Reddington is "Alan Shore Unleashed!!!! :-)
Every single thing he says about the American judicial system is accurate and a big reason why I gave up on pursuing a law degree after getting a bachelor's in CJ. Our court system is based on 2 things: the best debater wins and if you have enough money then you can buy your way to justice. Alan Shore is fun to watch, but is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with modern American jurisprudence. People like him exist and succeed in law. That's not a good thing. In a moral world, Alan Shore would have been disbarred and imprisoned. Instead people like him are lauded and get rich.
Please do a mashup of Alan Shore and Ultron - it would be epic!
That's ok. Alan Shore was better off with Crane Pool and Schmidt
The Practice > Boston Legal
Matt Greer apart from the bromance between Crane & Shore, the court cases are pretty much a watered down version of the Practice because the Practice gave you the good, bad, and ugly about the law.
koolyo2foots Law and Order does that shit too. I liked the quirkiness of Boston Legal.
Matt Greer you obviously haven't watched the practice because people who watched both shows will know the practice is way more serious.
koolyo2foots >> I think you sound biased and just don't want to acknowledge the serious tones of Boston Legal... I mean.. Come on, Boston Legal was gold in many many ways. It spoke on the shit that ails many people and the world around us, but managed to keep it from going overly dramatic. I can't stand heavy drama. It just starts getting fucking stupid when it becomes overly dramatic about EVERYTHING. Anyway, from what I had seen of The Practice wasn't that much different...
Cant say about The Practice. Only saw a little of it....
But Boston Legal was kyst an outstanding shoe of the highest quality. Great actors. Great writers. Great characters. And great stories. ...And great moments ( "I'm Schmidt!" )... And a great balcony.
i actually byhearted the entire scene 😂
GREAT SPEECH SO TRUE
Other than Treks, this was the best ever! Im about to Binge!
Amazing how in the end Alan's f.features are resembling Danny's so much. ... just like a dog owner and his dog. ...
Give the man his slice! 😁
After that speech I would have given Alan three slices of that pie and some ice cream!
I'm more then a little baffled as to how Alan Shore could consider Eugene 'beyond reproach'. Time and time again, Eugene flexed the bounds of his 'morality' to suit situations that benefitted himself and the firm. How this behaviour allowed him to sit on his high-horse and peer at those around him with contempt signifies only his delusion and lack of self-reflection.
Gotta start buying these t.v. shows . I miss "howdoyoudoI'mAllenShore ".
Hail Spader
Alan Shore...
FLAWLESS VICTORY
FATALITY
It really makes you think I'm on HOW the judicial system actually works.
This is the moment denny decides he will hire alan.
One person wouldn't give Alan his slice. Has Eugene Young seen this clip, then?
....many people in this world can relate about the slice...
or the microphone taken...weakened...
... a hellhouse of pretty veils world...hiding in complex numbers...with naked silenced souls...
it prizes the beauty veils and trash the rest...for profit...always profit...
it looks good...sounds good...there u have it...bliss on top..
Bravo
Jessica Capshaw is the best!!!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ I love it!!! :) :) :)
They have seen him in action. Why would they try to make him mad?
They weren’t trying to make him ‘mad’ They just didn’t want him as part of their law firm anymore. His behavior was putting their business at risk
No entiendo nada, pero me gusta él y su voz.
He acts fom heart..❤man.,!!!🌹🌹🌹🥹🥹❤
awesome sauce
Shore & Crane Law firm pls
Plot twist: shore becomes after this an undercover agent kills and assumes the identity of Reddington.
Where can I get this PRACTICE and BOSTON LEGAL full movie to watch pls? Been trying to get it here on CZcams with no luck.
Boom!
I love the dramatic legal soliloquy on law shows and movies. Nobody objects...
Closing or not, the judge would have shut this dirtbag down in 20 seconds and possibly ordered a contempt ruling...he'd have definitely been disbarred long ago.
It was an entertaining show, especially Alan and Denny....however it is too bad they couldn't have found work playing it straight as a new series of "The Defenders" with Shatner in the father role this time.
WHY CAN'T I WATCH THE EPISODES ANYMORE??????????????????????????????????? WHY DID CZcams TAKE THEM OFF?????? It was thee only place I could wach Boston Legal which I LOVE!!!!
lol this is the internet it doesnt only consist of youtube you know // Kinox.to have fun watching Boston legal
Lol Avon calling!
This show went from black and white simple show to this personal, business, ethicality morally gray battle between people who loved or respected each other
I've been referring to this episode for what? 20 years now. It's my #1 example of what is wrong with America. Been saying it for years. America is run by Lawyers and if you want to know what that means watch the last episode of "The Practice" It say's it all! It's a message by the Creator of the show. 20 years ago...David E. Kelly .... I heard you. LOUD AND CLEAR.
Donde puedo verla en español.
What season does James spader show up in? It’s the only reason I’m even interested in watching it. Any hints?
James Spader was only in the final season of ‘The Practice’ (Season 8)...then he did Boston Legal
Does anyone know the outcome of “ the slice “? And was he right about Eugene Young ? I’m long to watch Boston Legal properly and in its entirety - is it worth it ? Thank you.
Boston Legal has brilliant moments. Boston Legal might also make you nauseated for what becomes the incessant sexual angle, which, apart from anything else, becomes exquisitely painful and tiresome. Of course these shows were written to be viewed one episode per week, but, even then..
@@jakeornot6306 The first season is the most problematic and I feel they got progressively better in that realm each season. Most likely due to the passing of time and slow moving cultural changes in the US. The addition of Candice Bergen's character really helped the show in that regard as well.
System that freed O.J. Simpson and jailed Ruben "Hurricane "Carter. Wow.
Jailing the innocent, and freeing the guilty... what a system!
We needed McDermott vs Spader. Wtf the practice
Do you have a favorite legal show? Why?
How did this turn out?
Where are the porch scenes?
Do Law Firms in the US also offer Company Secretarial Services?Many Law Firms in my country Malaysia also act as Company Secretary(Corporate Secretary)-many Malaysian lawyers prefer to be Corporate Secretaries(which is legal to be practiced simultaneously by a lawyer under Malaysian Corporate Law) rather than help with people's problems.
The practice good old school show. Law has evolved since and especially T.V. law; which is uniquely different.
Has law dramas got better or worse?
I think the new shows focus on H&R issues. Inner relationships and are less focused on law. The fancy suits and conference rooms is how the shows are marketed; which is a form of pull marketing.
I love everything about The Practice
and Boston Legal, especially the
closing arguments of Alan Shore.
But his story of his uncle bringing
the pie to the family function is
completely illogical.
He says his uncle was hungry
and if he brought the pie to the
function, he would get a slice.
But if he was hungry, why not
keep the pie at home or whenever,
then he would have the whole pie
to himself, instead of just a slice.
its not illogical, but in the scene is incomplete in context, the analogy works with the context of the series that its a succesful firm that attracts high profile and expensive clients, the reputation of the firm backs the expertise of the lawyers working on it, it wouldnt be the same if he worked alone or in a less reputable/cheaper firm, so "he attracts good expensive clients because he works in a good firm and will be paid handsomely for his services" becomes "he brings a pie to the party because he will get a slice"
Redington lite
That's what I know and I can prove it
Avengers Age of Ultron was a wonderful movie, and I respect Robert Downey as an actor, but the greatest actor in the movie wasn't even seen as a human being, and that was James Spader, and yet I don't get it. He could be a suprstar on the big screen, and he chooses to do TV instead.
James Spader has had a huge presence in the movies. He won best actor at Cannes for Sex Lies and Videotape and is lauded as a great actor in film as well as TV by directors and other actors. Check out all his other films from the 80s and up.
♥️
was boston legal a sequel to this?
+Kelly Dube Boston Legal was the spinoff to this show
Just like how Xena The Warrior Princess was the spinoff to Hercules The Legendary Journeys and Angel was the spinoff to Buffy The Vampire Slayer
there once was a clip with scene n speech of james spader in boston legal about scientology - why its deleted? i am missing it. I am sure it was there, i ve seen it oftenly.Now cant find anymore. Is youtubed blackmailed by S. to erase it?
Carter did it, killed those people. Dylan can take a walk.
Was this after Boston legal?
before
which episode is this?
