Last weekend, my wife commented about really wanting the DVD set for the show “Ally McBeal,” which ran on Fox from 1997 to 2002. Produced and written by David E. Kelley of “The Practice” and “Boston Legal,” “Ally McBeal” was smart, quick paced and funny (at least for the first two seasons).
The show used pop music as a scene transition device and while very clever, it delayed the release of the series to DVD in the United States because of delays in getting music clearances.
The entire series set was finally released last fall and I surprised my wife with the box set on Tuesday (Thanks Amazon & FedEx). Re-watching the series with my wife has reminded me of how much I enjoyed much of this show in its original run.
