''Boston Legal'' was a legal [[Dramedy]] series than ran on [[ABC]] from 2004 to 2008. It was to the [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] trope what ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' is to [[Dr. Jerk]]. The series starts as a senior partner at the firm goes completely insane and has to be hauled off to a mental hospital, and the rest of the employees aren't much more stable. They include a renowned trial lawyer in the early stages of Alzheimer's (affectionately referred to as Mad Cow Disease by him and the rest of the firm), several lawyers suffering from everything from extreme shyness to [[~~Useful Notes/Asperger Syndrome|~~Asperger Syndrome]], and the lead, who is merely lecherous and corrupt (although he, too, suffers from occasional [[Word Salad|mental issues]]). Together they take on cases that are almost as odd as they are.

Created by [[David E. Kelley]]. Technically a [[Spin-Off]] from ''[[The Practice]]'', with which it shares Alan Shore, Denny Crane, a few female supporting roles who were victims of [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]] or otherwise [[Put on a Bus]], and virtually nothing else. It ran for a total of 101 episodes in five seasons.
