I think it was ADA Earl Rhodes in the episode "Whipping Boy" as a guest on The Defenders Or prosecutor ADA David Koster on For the People his network series in 1964. His most gritty performance was as the white power activist in the film: The Intruder
I liked how Shore watched that entire exchange and was just smiling in admiration by the end. He first smirks when Denny says " medical records aside, if Denny Crane tells a jury it was the husband: it was the husband"
I gave up on clickbait titles a long time ago. Although the ones that bother me the most are from Newspapers or News Stations. They should know better that the correct details matter.
i would say that denny crane friendship keep alan in check (i know that it sounds very strange but im not saying that denny crane keep alan shore in check, im saying that his friendship keep alan shore in check ). alan change a lot from the last season of the practise to the last seasons of boston legal, and not only because boston legal had more humor, it was because alan was a man that needed a good friend, someone compatible with him, what cori colson said to alan was partially true, he was a lost man in some ways, the scene in the car with the hooker in the last season of the practise show that, alan was a man that had some issues. But Denny friendship made that part of alan shore dissapear.
If you like the clips, you'll love the show. I've seen it 3 times and I'm sure I'll watch it a 4th and 5th time. It's definitely one of my favorite shows.
What a damned natural actor Bill Shatner is. And Jim Spader - Endless Love to BL to BL. I wish Bill could have let his managers guard down enough for a co-starring part in The Blacklist. I love the show and Spaders chilling character, but I can imagine how much Bill would have added - as a Moriarty.
Alan shore - Knows Law as a profession is bad, he practices it and hates it. Denny Crane - Knows Law as a profession is bad, he practices it and loves it.
Denny Crane would love any profession that Denny Crane did. By the very act of Denny Crane doing a thing, elevates that thing to the level of, "Denny Crane". Not loving a thing that is being done by, "Denny Crane" would, in and of itself be Denny Crane casting a dispersion upon, "Denny Crane". That will never happen.
@@soldier4242Exactly, maybe he's why Boomers watched but Gen X grew up watching Spader in Pretty in Pink & Sex, Lies, & Videotape. He's the reason why I watched, not to mention the "the practice"!
My mom started watching this show a few months ago and whenever I heard Spader speak, all I heard was Ultron. Man, he truly was a great choice for his voice.
There has never been a better TV show. Boston Legal was a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece. Absolute niche. Top writing, top casting, very best acting- nothing beats all these.
Boston Legal is more of a spin-off than a sequel, and I much prefer it to The Practice. This also reminded me that I'm already nostalgic for 2004. What the hell, man...
The Practice ran for 7 seasons... and when it came back for its 8th David E. Kelly decided to up-end it. He introduced Alan to the practice... who tore through it causing all kinds of trouble... making a fortune, breaking all kinds of laws and getting himself sacked. He sued them using Crane, Poole and Schmidt which brought him into contact with... well.. Denny. There ends The Practice and there begins its spin off Boston Legal. If you've watched BL... you really should watch S8 of The Practice. You'll see where lots of characters came from. including Catherine Piper... the frank old lady (Betty White)
Boston Legal is a sort of "sequel" to the Practice, but they are so tonally distant it's best not to think about the similarities. Boston Legal is more like Ally Mcbeal than the Practice.
This is from The Practice season 8. Alan was first introduced in that show and then later in the season they introduced Boston Legal to start a spinoff. ;)
The title of this video is a lie. 1. It wasn't James who met Denny, but Alan. 2. Alan didn't meet him in this clip, as the first few seconds demonstrates.
Too bad Shatner never made an appearance on The Blacklist. Could have been a guest on the 150th episode, something like that. That would have been cool.
Denny's office Alan walks in. Alan: Denny, have a moment. Denny turns around in his chair. Denny: Yes, Alan. Alan: My you certainly look robust. Especially today Denny: Robust? I've always liked your use of vernacular Alan. Alan: You even seem to have a glow about you. What is it? Or is the mad cow really kicking in? Denny: It's not the mad cow Alan. That's not it. Alan: What is it then? Denny: I'm on the medicine. Alan: What? Denny: You heard me. What's the matter? Alan: Your on the medicine? When we tried to get you into the trials, they turned you down. So how did you do it? Denny take a large rings of keys out and fumbles for one of the keys. Denny: I bought a majority stake in the company that makes it. This one opens the cabinet to it. I think? Alan laughs Alan: You know something Denny? You never cease to amaze me. Let's go out and celebrate this momentus occasion. Denny: You know what would really be momentus Alan? Alan: What? Denny: We go to the courthouse and help Shirley out. Alan: Out of winning her case? Denny: Hey, what happened to your new found confidence in me? Alan: Okay. But only if I can help
This series couldn’t be made today among all these pansy snowflakes being raised in this country today. What a commanding role Shatner mastered…made us tune it for more and more. That’s brilliance at the highest level of a craft!
Did this young lawyer just be fired ? It seemed like Danny said to Alan :"I hate HR" (I'm french and my english abilities cannit help me to find out). 🧐🇨🇵
His story about impressing women by telling them he met Denny Crane is similar to Daniel Radcliffe’s story about how Trump told him to tell people that he met Trump.
I had not heard that story about Trump! I don't even have to Google it to know it's true. Even if it wasn't Daniel Radcliffe, I would bet my life that he said it to someone at some point.
This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
2:26 the face when you realize you just met someone even crazier than yourself. :D
😂
Which episode was it
Yeah, he knew at that moment for sure 😂
@@selphermafube8447 It’s from The Practice
It was reciprocal.
“Don’t waste your time trying to get into my head. There's nothing there.”--Denny Crane
Mad cow.....
"Denny Crane." - Denny Crane
And thus, an epic bromance was commenced.
Shatner's best role and I was a Trek fan. Denny Crane..... what a character portrayal!
I think it was ADA Earl Rhodes in the episode "Whipping Boy" as a guest on The Defenders
Or prosecutor ADA David Koster on For the People his network series in 1964.
His most gritty performance was as the white power activist in the film: The Intruder
puts to rest any question as to whether Shatner can act, he can!
Whenever I see Shatner now in commercials, I think to myself *HEY, THATS DENNY CRANE!!* lol
Do you want to know why he's the best?
It's quite simple.
He's, Denny Crane
@@ddelaney712/thread
I liked how Shore watched that entire exchange and was just smiling in admiration by the end. He first smirks when Denny says " medical records aside, if Denny Crane tells a jury it was the husband: it was the husband"
The finest flamingos ever!
The crazy thing is that yes, Denny was clearly already losing it at this point, but the times he went to court? He still absolutely got it.
He wasnt tho
James Spader did not meet Denny Crane. Alan Shore met Denny Crane.
And bragged about it later, so he could get into some legal secretary's panties?
Alan Shore did not meet Denny Crane. Alan Shore was allowed the opportunity to bask in the glory of the radiant one known as Denny Crane.
Thanks Karen.
@@mitchminer2031Not sure that makes one a "Karen". 🤔
I gave up on clickbait titles a long time ago. Although the ones that bother me the most are from Newspapers or News Stations. They should know better that the correct details matter.
One of the best TV characters ever.
This is my favorite "William Shatner" role. Way better than Capetian Kirk or T. J. Hooker.
@@areliablesource2848 T.J. Hooker best
Not all of us are star treck fans.
Denny Crane has to be one of Jim Kirk's ancestors it's the only goddamn explaination.
It's Jim, Jim.. but not as we knew him...
Bwahahahaha!!!!
Ahahah! Absolutely.
I've been saying, bring back Shatner in Star Trek but as a lawyer related to Kirk that repeats his name all the time. He can even be in discovery.
Somewhere on S3 he said he had his own starship.....
Alan and Denny are very much alike, but at the same time different enough to make each other feel challenged and help each other grow.
i would say that denny crane friendship keep alan in check (i know that it sounds very strange but im not saying that denny crane keep alan shore in check, im saying that his friendship keep alan shore in check ).
alan change a lot from the last season of the practise to the last seasons of boston legal, and not only because boston legal had more humor, it was because alan was a man that needed a good friend, someone compatible with him, what cori colson said to alan was partially true, he was a lost man in some ways, the scene in the car with the hooker in the last season of the practise show that, alan was a man that had some issues.
But Denny friendship made that part of alan shore dissapear.
@@pepomega , I agree.
I think they’re a slight variance of Archie Bunker and Michael Stivic the Meathead.
I'm watching clip after clip of this series on youtube, I've never watched the show but like James Spader. The show looks awesome.
If you like the clips, you'll love the show. I've seen it 3 times and I'm sure I'll watch it a 4th and 5th time. It's definitely one of my favorite shows.
@@gmbrat2002cant find full episodes on YT.
@@seedsoflove7684 If you have Prime, they have it there.

It was a fantastic show.
To quote Troy McClure, "It's the role I was born to play!"
Captain Kirk/Denny Crane forever.
Haha! Said with such conviction - those two little words that mean sooooo much.
So full of himself! I love it
after finishing Boston legal I was so happy to find this, but then I was so disappointed in what they did with Tara.
Alan’s face 🤣😂🤣
He can't belive what hes hearing 😆😆😆
Feels like BroLove
Shows what a brilliant actor Shatner is
What a damned natural actor Bill Shatner is. And Jim Spader - Endless Love to BL to BL.
I wish Bill could have let his managers guard down enough for a co-starring part in The Blacklist. I love the show and Spaders chilling character, but I can imagine how much Bill would have added - as a Moriarty.
They got a bunch of great actors in The Blacklist as well. Alan Alda as their "Moriarty" for the first seasons for example.
I never actually thought about a Shatner character on BL. You have basically given me, days of pondering. thank you.
Alan shore - Knows Law as a profession is bad, he practices it and hates it.
Denny Crane - Knows Law as a profession is bad, he practices it and loves it.
Denny Crane would love any profession that Denny Crane did.

Best friendship ever on tv
Lol, Alan's looking at Denny like ... are you kidding???
Awe.
William Shatner was the ONLY reason we watched this show. What a guy!!!!
Did you fail to see James Spader kicking ass in every single scene he was in?
No he wasn’t
James the girl is Nada Spade.
@@soldier4242Exactly, maybe he's why Boomers watched but Gen X grew up watching Spader in Pretty in Pink & Sex, Lies, & Videotape. He's the reason why I watched, not to mention the "the practice"!

That is Mirror Universe Kirk.
The beginning of The Flamingos❤
My mom started watching this show a few months ago and whenever I heard Spader speak, all I heard was Ultron.
Man, he truly was a great choice for his voice.
I'll have to try that if I ever get pulled over for traffic violations, "I know Denny Crane". Just a thought!
Absolutely if you're in the midwest just say Hupy and Abraham and I know Denny Crane.
😆 works for me every time.
William Shafter’s best job & role yet as: “Denny Crane”!😱😮
Come on Blacklist one episode with Shatner and Spader.
Blacklist is soo bad
Denny Crane!
Yeah, that’s about it!
Best bromance to ever hit TV
Alan fell in love at first sight.
When Star Trek and Star Gate fans collide.
more like collude.. not collide
THAT, was the moment that Allan fell in love with "Denny Crane"! Lol
Also. Denny Crane loved Denny Crane from the moment he was named.
Awesomeness
When a man meets his hero
There has never been a better TV show. Boston Legal was a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece. Absolute niche. Top writing, top casting, very best acting- nothing beats all these.
"Denny Crane" - Denny Crane
So the practice is prequel to Boston legal?
yep
Boston Legal is more of a spin-off than a sequel, and I much prefer it to The Practice.
This also reminded me that I'm already nostalgic for 2004. What the hell, man...
The Practice is a masterpiece. But it's not for the fun you should watch it.
The Practice ran for 7 seasons... and when it came back for its 8th David E. Kelly decided to up-end it.

Alan vs Eugene was about 5 episodes on what this case Alan wanted Denny for.
Alan Shore meets his true love
The best
Very true!!!
THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST!!!!!
Denny Crane! hahahaha
The entire season 16 full length episodes used to be available on AdTube. Shocking that they no longer are available.
Season 8, not 16.
This is the moment Alan Shore becomes Flamingoberg
"Wanna get there faster, son? Tell her earlier you held court with Denny Crane. Denny Crane."
Alan Shore was the only reason I watched this show.
Batman and Robin...... Denny and Alan..... ! 😎😎
"But its the brother who died " hehee
James Spader met William Shatner...
Even a nut job like Alan Shore looks at Denny Crane and thinks he is completely insane.
Man!
2 WORDS! Denny Crane 😏
Say it again!
What season and episodes was this? Im currently at 2nd season episode 17 and i havent seen this one yet
This is from The Practice season 8. Alan was first introduced in that show and then later in the season they introduced Boston Legal to start a spinoff. ;)
Denny Crane
Flamingos!
The title of this video is a lie.
1. It wasn't James who met Denny, but Alan.
2. Alan didn't meet him in this clip, as the first few seconds demonstrates.
What is the name of this show?
There's no session 7
So which episode is this ??
The Practice S08E17
“Denny Crane”
Where is the rest? ;)
Look, Raymond Reddington before he became a fugitive!
Dennys Crane..like a courtroom boogeyman
Which episode is this
What season or episode is this ??
As it says in the description: The Practice S08E17
a liberal and a conservative can be friends!
Was this part of an actual episode?
yes, The Practice S08E17 - "War of the Roses"
Denny Crane.
Too bad Shatner never made an appearance on The Blacklist. Could have been a guest on the 150th episode, something like that. That would have been cool.
What movie is this because I’ve watched whole of Boston legal and I never saw this scene 😒
If you saw boston legal, watch season 8 of "the practice". The last season of that series is like a prequel to boston legal.
shouldn't the title of this video be "Allan Shore meets William Shatner"?
2:10

Alan walks in.
Alan: Denny, have a moment.
Denny turns around in his chair.
Denny: Yes, Alan.
Alan: My you certainly look robust. Especially today
Denny: Robust? I've always liked your use of vernacular Alan.

Denny: It's not the mad cow Alan. That's not it.
Alan: What is it then?
Denny: I'm on the medicine.
Alan: What?
Denny: You heard me. What's the matter?
Alan: Your on the medicine? When we tried to get you into the trials, they turned you down. So how did you do it?
Denny take a large rings of keys out and fumbles for one of the keys.
Denny: I bought a majority stake in the company that makes it. This one opens the cabinet to it. I think?
