According to the Zap2It guide page there wasn’t going to be an episode tonight.

Were they lying to me?

I found out that Channel 5 in Boston will show yesterday’s Boston Legal episode (Bumped by a Patriots football game) on Wednesday the 22 at 1:06 a.m.

Meaning an hour after tonight’s midnight, ie, set up your recordings _today._

Other stations might have moved the broadcast to other slots, so YMMV.

Saw it last night on Canadian E channel. Denny is a huge Asshat and I don’t believe for a second it was some sort of “episode” he was having.

I thought for a moment that Alan might make it through a closing without taking a swipe at the Republicans. Nope.

When Jerry and his sister were confronting the head of the sperm bank I thought “Just ask him to tell you if the same donor gave to both mothers, without revealing his identity. That’s enough for the situation.” That’s what the judge said and I could have saved them a lot of time.

Considering how Shaken Denny was, I can see it was an episode. He’ll be getting pretty bad by season ending, I’d imagine. Either that, or the finale will involve a time jump to a few years later when he’s in a hospital.

Whatever happened to Rene Auberjonois anyway?

He left along with several other folks, like Mark Valley.

Speaking of shaking, I noticed Denny’s hand trembling when he came to Alan’s office to apologize. Nice touch there.
