Two Great Things Together: Boston Legal and Bakula!

[commodore64]

This so rocks me world. It's like the shows I watch, few and far between, manage to get Scott Bakula. Anyway, I heard a rumor that he'll be on Boston Legal. I seriously thought he should be on for some time. I think it fits their kitschy and good actor roll they've been on.

Thought I'd pass on the good news.

I love Boston Legal. This is great news.

The Shat should return the favour and do a guest shot on Enterprise...

Oh wait.

^

wonder what he's gonna play hmmm...

 

[commodore64]

Hey, wasn't my prediction an environmental lawyer? I'm staying with that one.

 

[MattJC]

Do you think they'll have a subtle nod to Enterprise on Bakula's episode?

 

[commodore64]

Yeah, I think the writer likes doing that. Maybe Bakula is from a firm Crane used to work for and the joke is: "I did a better job when I was there than you did."

Kelley seems to like Star Trek and Star Trek jokes.

This is fantastic! Does anyone have a link?

I thought I read that BL actually finished filming for the entire season, but I hope I'm wrong. I would hae to think we would have to wait until next season to see this.

 

[commodore64]

Doesn't look planned out. I suppose they'll have at least 24 episodes (depending on what happens after the writer's strike). http://boston-legal.org/episodes.shtml

Perhaps he'll show up on Roe v. Wade -- the musical. :P

I kinda think this is Boston Legal's last year.

Huh? Why do you think that's so? I thought it was doing well enough. It's still racking up emmy awards (Spader & Shatner) and I thought the ratings were ok but admittedly, haven't checked it out.

That would too bad if it were true. I get a real kick out of the show and now with Scott guesting....I'm hoping that after the strike, DEKelly writes him in some more!

 

[commodore64]

I got the impression last year they were hanging on. This year they've kinda petered out in story lines, imo.

Tom Sellek, another ex-beau of Shirley's managed to show up several times. I can imagine if BL survives next year Scott will make another appearance. You can't pull a rabbit like that -- a blocking character who comes out of nowhere -- without including him in more episodes. At least, that's what I think.

Would work for me !!
