Star World brings back award winning series Boston Legal

Published by Jaish under Star World

Dark comedy… suspense…courtroom drama… Star World presents a truly unique viewing experience bustling with quirky characters and compelling cases setting it apart from the past and present legal shows. Beginning this Sunday, November 16 at 9 p.m. Boston Legal confronts social and moral issues, while its characters continually stretch the boundaries of the law.

Two-time Emmy Award Winner and two-time People’s Choice Award nominee, Boston Legal is about the professional and personal stories of a group of brilliant but often ethically challenged attorneys. Alan Shore and Denny Crane lead a brigade of high-priced civil litigators in an upscale Boston law firm. Shore, an unscrupulous and wily ambulance chaser and womanizer (played, with sly charm by Emmy winner James Spader) finds an uneasy alliance with Crane, a pompous, snooty, and occasionally batty elder lawyer (William Shatner in an Emmy-winning performance). Despite their ethical and emotional deficiencies, Shore and Crane usuallyfind themselves fighting on the right side, as they take up cases that no one else is willing to touch.

The third season is spicier then ever as it kicks off with Denise (Julie Bowen) shocking the firm with the announcement of her marriage while Denny Crane finds new love. Meanwhile, Alan continues to offer legal help to Jerry Espenson (Christian Clemenson) and the firm has a new attorney, Jeffrey Coho (Craig Bierko, Cinderella Man), who blurs the moral line in his pursuit of justice.

The stars that are going to add some more punk to the office politics for this season include Delta Burke (Designing Women), Michael J. Fox (Spin City), Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Parker Posey (Superman Returns), Tom Selleck (Magnum, P.I.) and Betty White (The Golden Girls).

This season Boston Legal has just got meaner and more dangerous. So don’t forget to tune in to the award-winning series, Boston Legal, starting this Sunday, November 16 at 9 p.m. only on Star World.
