James Spader on The Practice

[Karbassiyoon]

watched the show this week, it hasn't lost any of the intrigue thats for sure

and the lack of lara flynn boyle just makes it even better

How good is this guy? One of the best characters in a tv drama i've ever seen. Comes out with some brilliant lines, and his arrogance is glorious.

Best. Character. Ever.

I'm so glad I didn't give up on this show, it would have been a huge mistake. The fact they're basing another show around Spader (which I didn't know until today, thanks everyone!) shows how successful his role has been, even if he's not everyone's cup of tea.

Got to say though, I liked Bobby also - mostly just in the court room where he was brilliant.

Oh and Tara Wilson, say no more. Although, I liked the previous "receptionist" who is currently back making a cameo at the moment - Lucy. I think her real name is Marla Sokoloff from memory.

Great show - I'm not eagerly anticipating Boston Legal!

"evertonfc,

*Stands Up*

Has been a stroke of genius from David E. Kelley to bring Spader into the series.

I've always like The Practice, and was indeed a big fan of Bobby and his cohorts. But having seen the new series, it's gone up even more in my estimation.

And the infusion of William Shatner as Denny Crane was equally brilliant. The ego's at work at perversely charming; you can't help but love Alan and hope that his crassness will wreak the millions out of Eugene Young

Boston Legal should be tremendous, and we've got a local boy in there, too.

Vince Colosimo isn't in Boston Legal.
Rebecca DeMornay also isn't in it.It seems audiences didn't like her character.

Understandable. I like Vince, but he seemed too 'straight and narrow' for the show and DeMornay was crap.

I'm not sure Boston Legal will be as good. Part of the appeal was the fact James Spader kept getting in all the conservative types' noses, but the new firm seems like a bunch of nutters. Still, I'll watch it and see how it goes.

Spader has been brilliant but William Shatner is even better, I'm rapt he is in the new show.

This guy just gets better each episode.....
The practise is now the best show on tv due to this guy.

sssshhhhh, dont tell ch7 that, they may start promoting the show and even put it on earlier!!!

but knowing ch7 and the total dipsticks that work there, there's no chance of that.

Vince Colosimo isn't in Boston Legal.

Not that I always trust Google, but you're incorrect according to some American sources.

Eleanor is my hero, I loved that right hook she dished out last night to that bitch & she has that Danny Crane scared, she is the best character in that show.

I got the info from tvtome.com.It said this :

Although Rebecca DeMornay was part of the cast during the shows run on The Practice as Hannah Rose, she was let go due to the fact that audiences did not like her character.
Although Vince Colossimo was part of the cast during the shows run on The Practice as Matthew Billings, he was let go for unknown reasons

and this is the cast listed on Boston Legals web site ABC




James Spader - Alan Shore
William Shatner - Denny Crane
Monica Potter - Lori Colson
Rhona Mitra - Tara Wilson
Lake Bell - Sally Heep
Mark Valley - Brad Chase

Unknown reasons is another way of saying he got the arse because his American accent was cringeworthy.
