Most honest fiction on the tube ...

Tonight I watched a return to the airwaves of the most genuinely honest show I've seen in recent years. I had hated that the few shows which aired last season seemed to come to such an abrubt halt. So tonight when the closing dialogue between Alan Shore and Denny Crane closed with a toast by Mr. Shore: "Here's to no tomorrows ...", I promptly remoted to "list" and changed my DVR setting to "save until manually erased". Granted that the show is somewhat chauvanistic, it is at least openly honest - and that is why it is so endearing to me .... The show is loaded with high profile celebrities, the "regulars", but always seems to include delightful cameo appearances - tonight - the Rev. Al Sharpton (the "rabbit" for this episode). As each episode concludes in the series, I once again find myself with a somewhat ridiculous urge (particularly at my age) to light up a fine cigar :-) ... "Boston Legal" ... Bravo!!! *****
