A great great show. One of the few shows I laugh out loud constantly too. The cowboy episode when the two of them were on a ranch was one of the best shows this year. I will miss it.

David E. Kelly is one of the best author of today, always bringing up issues that should matter to us, both that most people disregard because they are to busy buying stuff. He is sarcastic..., funny, a genious if I can say so myself!!!

You clearly didn't watch the show that much because it was silly, yes, but no more than any other episode. Denny shooting the Chinese? Been there done that. Religion war? Seems perfectly fine for the show. Alan's ridiculous speech to the chinese and insulting the supreme court? Perfectly normal. The only thing that was too far fetched for the show was alan and denny getting married. However it was "almost as fun as jumping a shark" so it's all good.

I thought the finale was perfectly befitting of the characters and the show and would not have left it any other way :)

Five years of fervent loyalty definitely rewarded.

I never missed the show, although I got furious sometimes at the preachy uber liberal rants. I laughed so hard at the self-referential comments! Refreshing.
I also loved William Shatner's character, and was amazed at what a really good actor he proved himself to be in this show.
I'll be sorry that it is not on my list of shows to record every week.

I'll miss it, one of the best comedies on tv for years. (so decrying it as less-than-serious is just silly)

I'm one that loved this show off and on. I didn't even mind the over the top preachy episodes when they were clever. But there is a difference between clever and silly. Silly for silly sake isn't always funny, and that is what happened last night. I was sad.

I wanted a truly great finale and this was just...eh.

Silly? Of course. But that's what made this show great. They never took themselves too seriously, never forgot it was just a tv show, never forgot to stand for something - anything - even the most idiotic stance, and never stopped making me laugh.

I thought Denny and Alan getting married was absurd - stupid even - but it's just a tv show - and legalizing their love and commitment was just about as far over the top as they could go. So why not go out with a bang? In the end, it was touching, as you never have to question how far those two would go for each other.

Nobody would ever get away with talking to the Supreme Court like that - and Scalia certainly never would have married those fools - my only wish was that they'd skipped that idea and gotten the older judge who can't stand them (the "namsy pamsy" judge) to marry them. That would have been icing on the cake.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The humor and satire were there, and it required some discipline to pay attention to the show and enjoy it. The show was definitely for the masses as the show required some "intellect" to appreciate all of its nuances. I will truly miss this show and pray that David Kelly has another show on the horizon.

The silliness of this show is exactly why I never missed an episode. I'm not nearly as liberal as the writers and their preaching would have grated on me if it weren't for the cleverness of the scripts. I for one have always loved shows that break the fourth wall. I find myself laughing out loud when that happens because it's so unexpected on television. I will miss Boston Legal.
