ABC Keeps "Anatomy" on Sunday, Rolls "Legal" to Fall

A spin-off of the ABC series, The Practice, Boston Legal shows the law in a diverse tone. In an episode from that series' final season, Alan Shore (James Spader, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Secretary) was fired from Young, Frutt, and Berluti and decides to work for Crane, Poole, and Schmidt where the series takes place. The series focuses on an assembly of civil litigators in an upscale Boston law firm.

Regrettably, Grey's Anatomy appears to be a second-rated show which is a rip off of E.R., Chicago Hope with a fusion of Friends. Accordingly, the saying: "Viewers do not like new shows, they like new shows that remind them of old shows, " applies. And here it is, a lot of geniuses are praising the pseudo-intellectual and egregious show. (Anatomy detracted the Nursing profession when Meredith Grey insultingly said: "Did you just call me a nurse?!") This was from the pilot episode.

The alphabet network has once again reared it ugly head. What it is doing to Boston legal is very unconscionable based on its rating-happy impulse. Obviously, every show is expendable, for the sake of high ratings and more profits, it would be easier to sacrifice Boston Legal which has awards and nominations as follows:

• Awards and Nominations 31st Annual People's Choice Awards Favorite New Drama: Boston Legal (Nominated) Favorite Male Star: James Spader as Alan Shore (Nominated) 56th Annual Emmy Awards Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series (The Practice): William Shatner as Denny Crane (Won) Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (The Practice): James Spader as Alan Shore (Won) 62nd Golden Globe Awards Best Performance By An Actor in a Television Series- Drama (Boston Legal): James Spader as Alan Shore (Nominated) Best Performance By An Actor in a Supporting Role In a Series, Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television (Boston Legal): William Shatner as Denny Crane (Won) 2005 Golden Satellite Awards Best Actor in a Series-Drama (Boston Legal): James Spader as Alan Shore (Nominated) Best Television Series-Drama: Boston Legal (Nominated)
  Come on ABC. Let this show deteriorate by scheduling it to a new night (Monday nights). Besides, ABC has a history of letting excellent shows slip (Miracles, Freaks and Geeks, Once and Again, The Practice to mention a few).
  

Going back to history, The Practice was scheduled to Monday nights which irritated David E. Kelley because such action reduced the show's ratings, hence, reducing its episodical value. Make the move ABC, besides, it would be acceptable to lose a constant and insightful viewers. (On the average, Boston Legal has 12M viewers a week. This is a constant because the show seems to have a solid following)
