Last week on
Boston Legal, we saw Episode 4.18, "The Court Supreme," which followed Alan Shore (
James Spader) as he presented an appeal to the Supreme Court regarding a mentally challenged man who was unfortunately convicted of statutory rape. Lorraine Weller (
Saffron Burrows) on the other hand, approached Katie Lloyd (
Tara Summers) with unexpected news about Jerry Espenson's (
Christian Clemenson) girlfriend. In tonight's episode, we'll be seeing more of the
Legal crew as Denny Crane (
William Shatner) does something very unexpected.
Boston Legal's Episode 4.19, entitled "Indecent Proposals" will air tonight in its new timeslot at 10pm. Read on to see what's to come in tonight's episode.

Tonight, we'll get to see Denny fall for a cattle rancher Sunny Fields, played by Christine Ebersole, who is calling out to the government to stop selling cloned meat. Shirley Schmidt (
Candice Bergen) on the other hand asks the help of Alan to sue the Democratic Party after her nephew, who is also a delegate, disagrees with his state's primary vote.
In other Boston Legal news, James Spader, who plays Alan Shore on the series, recently spoke about getting back to work following the writers' strike.
"[It was] As if we were coming back from our holiday break," Spader told the Palm Beach Post. "We ended up breaking just around the same time that we would have anyway. [The writers' strike] lasted a few weeks longer than it might have, which I was very pleased to take advantage of. No matter how late we came back, I knew that my first day back I would have the feeling I probably could've used a few more days off."
Nonetheless, it seems that Spader is indeed enjoying playing Alan Shore, who at first came off as different and non-mainstream. In talking about the diversity of his character, Spader said, "Alan has been many things during the course of this run. He was conceived in the last year of
The Practice as a very destructive force. He was The Cat in the Hat. He was supposed to come in and make a big mess and escape unscathed and have a lot of fun along the way."
Spader also revealed that Alan's diversity carried the show to its success, with the help of the equally colorful characters on the show.
"Alan is an amalgamation of a bunch of different things. To a great degree, he is a voice who is a product of what's going on in the world today," Spader said. "He has become a voice to make noise about this and that. There's some of me, there's some of David [E. Kelley] and I think there's a healthy dose of the influence of the world in which he's operating."
Catch more of the marvelous Alan Shore and the rest of the
Boston Legal crew tonight at 10pm on ABC.
