So I watched Chuck, and was delighted (although after that one episode of It's Always Sunny, that song they kept playing tonight always makes me giggle). And I watched Heroes, and was tickled by Sylar going evil again. Because let's face it, Sylar being all lovey dovey with Veronica Mars makes everyone want to vomit. And then I watched the Soup's salute to "Dude's, Bro," and again, my television was there for me, giving me that digital hug my mother never did.
But at 10:30 the Soup ended. And so I said to myself, Boston Legal is ending, let's watch the last half hour And, predictably, I felt an urge to take a hair dryer into the bathtub.
I realize the show isn't supposed to be realistic. But as a budding Jack McCoy I couldn't help but be irritated by the Supreme Court scene.
Now, if they just used make believe Justices that'd be one thing. But they didn't, they tried to replicate the Court. And so they used people who vaguely resembled people who vaguely resemble the justices, and in the meantime turned Antonin Scalia (who almost kinda looked like Nino's fifth cousin if you really squinted) into a whiny child and John Roberts into a humorless twerp and let the main character go off on a pointless rant about the evils of the Court to the Court as the Justices sat helplessly by.
I know, it's not supposed to be realistic. But Boston Legal's cartoonish salute to liberalism makes me just that much happier to say goodbye to the show. So here's to you Boston Legal, we hardly knew ye:
