Somehow or other I missed this series when it aired and I came across a good deal on the DVD"s of the entire five season series and took advantage of it, only to discover that it wasn't that good a deal after all. I don't enjoy shows with "messages," and
Ally McBeal dvd spent too much of it's energy trying to indoctrinate the audience with political correctness and liberal politics.
Jokes are often truly funny the first time you hear them, but after that they lose their humor and cease to amuse, that is the story of "
Ally McBeal dvd It is a continuous repetition of the same one or two jokes, over and over again, and after the first few episodes it gets sillier and sillier and ceases to be funny. It is the story of a group of lawyers made up of two or three certifiable schizophrenics, assorted oddballs, and Courtney Thorne-Smith and Jane Krakowski. Albert Hall is great as a long suffering judge.
After watching the first season episodes I found myself fast forwarding to those scenes featuring Courtney Thorne-Smith who played the part of "Georgia," the wife of Ally's former boyfriend and lover, who has to deal with his continuing romantic interest in Ally who in turn makes no secret of her desire to rekindle their old affair. Georgia is the only lawyer in the group who can be described as "normal" and her bemused reaction to the oft repeated foul-ups, combined with her incredible beauty, makes watching worth while.
I was impressed with Jane Krakowski. She is a very talented singer and dancer and her acting skills are much in evidence as she portrays "Elaine," the office busybody and slut who manages to dominate every scene that she is in. Contrary to what another reviewer wrote I love the singing of Vonda Shepard. I was really unaware of her before watching the series but have since purchased one of her albums and enjoy it immensely.
