Case closed on 'Boston Legal'

Firm's financial troubles, Alzheimer's drug focus of two-hour series finale

By Chuck Barney
Contra Costa Times

Don't miss:

Boston Legal series finale — Prime time figures to be a little less weird and wacky now that David E. Kelley's offbeat series is calling it a night. In the two-hour farewell, financial problems may force the firm to be put up for sale. But Alan (James Spader) has other concerns on his mind as he petitions the Supreme Court in hopes of securing Denny's (William Shatner) access to an experimental non-FDA approved medicine that could slow his Alzheimer's. There's no telling how the unpredictable Kelley will end it all, but we'll be ticked off if Alan and Denny don't get to share one last cigar smoke on the balcony. 9 p.m. Monday, ABC.
