Boston Legal Season 5 DVDs

I love watching legal dramas (though for some reason I don’t have any on my current TV viewing list). Beginning with L.A. Law when I was a kid, and progressing through The Practice, Ally McBeal, and Boston Legal, I guess I can say that all my “knowledge” of the American justice system comes courtesy of writer/producer David E. Kelley!

Boston Legal was the only show that I never caught during its original broadcast time, preferring instead to view the DVDs. I finished Season 4 last summer, but haven’t started in on S5 yet because I don’t have the box set. But that could change soon, as Buy.com has it on sale for $34.80, along with free shipping.

The Boston Legal Season 5 DVD set comes with four discs that feature all 13 episodes from the show’s final season. It also comes with some bonuses, including deleted scenes and trailers, as well as a bunch of featurettes about the characters and behind-the-scenes happenings during production.

I’m kind of sad that the show is off the air. Denny Crane, Alan Shore, and Shirley Schmidt were some of my favorite television characters, so it’ll be hard to see them go. I’ll especially miss Denny and Alan’s scotch and cigar out on the balcony after a long day of legal wrangling… Nevertheless, I’m curious to see how the series ended. Was the finale a worthy farewell? I guess I’ll have to buy this box set to find out!
