Ally McBeal is one Of the most lovable comedy dramas to bless our TV screens. The series has risen in popularity recently due to Calista Flockhart's role in Brothers and Sisters, but for some reason the first time the show ran was nowhere near as successful as it should've been... probably because, if I remember correctly, it was shown during the week in the middle of the day (long before TiVo caught on). Anyway, Ally McBeal brings together some of the quirkiest and entertaining characters in TV history. Romantic, hilarious and addictive. Many comedies about law firms have been attempted since Ally's 5 year run, but I have yet to see one as great as Ally McBeal, this is probably due to Ally's amazing cast, originality, gripping plot lines and quality writing.

SEASON ONE - The series starts and sets the tone quickly. Fantasist lawyer Ally get's fired from her old job after attempting to sue a co-worker for sexually harassing her. Ally runs into the self absorbed and materialistic Richard Fish (Greg Germann) and is offered a job at `Cage and Fish' only to discover her long lost love Billy Thomas works there... and he's married! We are introduced to Ally's roommate Renee: A sassy lawyer who doesn't take nonsense (Lisa Nicole Carson), John Cage: The lovable little odd bod and partner of Cage and Fish who becomes one of Ally's best friend (Peter MacNicol), Elaine: Ally's assistant and the firm's very own nymphomaniac (Jane Krakowski of '30 Rock') and of course Billy's wife Georgia (Courtney Thorne Smith of `According to Jim')

SEASON TWO - This is the season where things heat up in pretty much every way. Sexual tension between Ally and Billy becomes far too strong to ignore and turbulence rises in the love triangle.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Under Rated Series....Ever! 17 Oct 2008
Format:DVD
I completley agree with another reviewer..you have to be a little bit mad to actually enjoy Ally to the full.
Make no bones, this isn't no Friends, no Sex in The City, nowhere near a 'girly series'. This is an incredible and mindblowing, and possibly life-changing series that is so well written its almost impossible to comprehend the intelligence of the writer.
Ally will make you cry, male or female, because it gets through all your barriers and certain episodes just hit raw nerves that seem so well protected. The comedy is not canned laughter, its sublime, and was never really intended to be a 'laugh a minute series', its a lot more serious than that.
All of the characters are fantastic in their own right but Ally and John Cage steal the show with some dialogue, and closing arguments in court, that will leave you thinking about your life and where you are at for a very long time.
I watched Ally the first time round, maybe 9 years ago, and own all the box sets. Ive just started to watch them again, and ive just started to think again.....
Forget the Sopranos, this is the work of a genius.....

4.0 out of 5 stars Revisiting "Ally" 14 years later 5 Dec 2011
By K. Gordon TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
I had forgotten that the early episodes of this series were a bit creaky. and at first Ally seemed
so young, goofy and nervous that she felt more like a teenager than a smart 27 year old lawyer.

But by episode 5 or the show and the character finds it's stride. And if it doesn't quite measure
up to the best 'grown up' TV of today, it still deserves praise for being one of the series that broke
the mold of what a TV show was supposed to be in the US

It had an openness to complicated tones that seamlessly mixed wild, sometimes surreal humor,
more subtle humor and drama, to long story arcs and not easily solved once a week problems,
and to being more about character than event, making TV a more novelistic and sometimes
cinematic medium in the process.

Certainly Ally McBeal wasn't the first show to do any of these things, but it was one of the first
shows that was a big success with these new approaches, and that helped paved the way for
many of the best dramas dramadies and comedies on American TV in the years since.

I'll admit, with years of even braver shows since, Ally McBeal no longer feels quite as special, and
in fact now feels a little limited. Especially with DVDs allowing more than once a week viewing,
a certain sameness to Ally's constantly fearful, broken heart and her funny/sad attempts to overcome
it starts to plague the show.

But there's still a lot to enjoy here. The performances are terrific from top to bottom, and every
'silly' character is given their serious and moving moments, and every 'serious' character is allowed
to be laugh-out-loud funny at times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wacky but Funny 8 Feb 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed watching Ally McBeal when it was on normal TV a few years ago, but only caught a few episodes. Now working my way through - it's clever, funny, at times a bit sentimental, but wacky with some bizarre (and very funny) touches and oddball special effects. It was good to see the Pilot Episode, because it explains the early relationships of Ally and two of the other main characters. Nice also to see an american programme taking the mickey big-time out of the american legal system - surprised their lawyers allowed it!
