  • From The Practice, season 8, episode 18, "The Case Against Alan Shore Part 3". Some of the best "Denny Crane!" moments, in my opinion, were actually in the final season of The Practice, rather than Boston Legal.

      It is a fairly common tactic when trying to establish authority or dominance-- when you impose your schedule on others you are asserting power.
      Another such tactic is in your office, always place your desk with your back to the window. People sitting in front of you see you framed against it and it's wide, it's open, not limited. It's a psychological ploy. saying you don't have limits and are not boxed in. You're confident and have authority.

    The ending is so epic, it's not even a joke. That was his whole opening statement. He got up for the opening statement at Trial, looked at the jury and said, "Denny Crane" and sat down. How epic is that? Brilliant.

    Alan Shore clearly didn't want to settle the case, and didn't care about money. He just wanted to confront Eugene Young in court.
    In real life, the opening numbers were not that far apart, and something in the middle ($1.3M, give or take) would be easy to settle on.

    I hated those egotistical, self-important, whiny, proselytizing, preachy dips on The Practice, and I'm glad David E. Kelley started a new show focusing on James Spader's masterful Alan Shore and William Shatner's inspired Denny Crane. I loved Boston Legal. It was the antithesis of the Practice and couldn't get enough of it.
