Ally McBeal - Season 1 Part 1 [DVD] [1998]

Ally McBeal - Season 1 Part 1 [DVD] [1998]

Much lighter in tone than creator, producer and writer David E Kelley's other forays into ... more

legal dramaLA Law, andThe Practice, the slick
thirtysomething seriesAlly McBealhas never been
out-and-out comedy but it spikes its exploration
of emotional territory with sharp funny lines.
Ally (Calista Flockhart) is a kookie cutie, a
ditzy, skinny, single lawyer and we are privy to
scenes from her overactive imagination (courtesy
of CGI), surrounded by larger-than-life peripheral
characters--almost grotesques--like outspoken boss
Richard Fish (Greg Germann), nervy courtroom wizz
John "The Biscuit" Cage (Peter MacNicol) and nosy
secretary Elaine Vassal (Jane Krakowski). In later
series these characters (including popular
newcomers Lucy Lui and Portia de Rossi as frosty
law babes Ling and Nelle) would edge towards
one-dimensional caricatures as the same ground was
retrodden relentlessly, but in this first series
there is something compelling about the intrusive
dynamics of this group of oddballs. The point is
you don't have to like them to find them
entertaining. Ally herself can be extremely
irritating in a love-to-hate-her kind of a way.
She is a curious dichotomy, a 1990s woman with a
go-getting career and a penchant for her own way
and yet with the romantic ideals of someone from
another generation. Basically still hung up on
ex-boyfriend Billy (Gil Bellows) who works for
same Boston practice, alongside wife Georgia
(Courtney Thorne-Smith), Ally is on the look out
for her Prince Charming. The first series and its
lead both garnered Golden Globes, a lot of gossip
and a healthy audience for the Fox television
network in America. Channel 4 snapped it up for
British audiences who were intrigued, not least by
the unisex toilets and sophisticated afterwork bar
soirées where chanteuse Vonda Shepherd was always
to be found crooning away in the corner. All in
all,Ally McBealleaves you with the conundrum of
wanting more but not being able to say why. --Emma
Perry

Ally McBeal - Season 4 Part 1 [DVD] [1998]

Ally McBeal - Season 4 Part 1 [DVD] [1998]

The first half ofAlly McBeal's fourth season starts with that all important question, the ... more

one Ally has been waiting for from day one: "Ally
will you... move in with me?". As always Ally's
romantic dreams never quite become a reality and
the series continues within the Grimm Fairy Tale
world of Ally's love (and quirky work) life. The
most important twist this season occurs in the
first episode "Sex, Lies and Second Thoughts"--the
departure of Tracy Ullman and Ally's current beau,
Brian, to be replaced by the series' new
heart-throb Larry (Robert Downey Jr). Initially
dating both father and son ("Two's a Crowd") Ally
cannot help but become besotted by Larry's
charisma; he being a fellow lawyer further seals
their bond, that is until Larry's past comes back
to haunt him.Other highlights include a quirky
romance for John ("Reason to Belive"), a charity
auction leading to an all male fan-club for John
("Love on Holiday") and a romantic connection for
Mark--though the recipient of his affection may
have hidden more than he bargained for.
Unfortunately the series was outshone by the
real-life drama of Calista Flockhart's and
Downey's rocky relationship along with Downey's
drugs convictions. Even though he won a Golden
Globe for his performance, he ultimately had to be
dropped from the series.On the DVD:Not much on
offer here for Ally's début into the DVD market.
The individual episode menu does offer a language
selection of French and English and the subtitles
for the Netherlands and French. You also have the
option to select chapters from the specific
episodes, along with a "previously onAlly
McBeal..." for that little reminder of whom Ally
is dating now. Although standard for a TV DVD
release, the 1.33:1 aspect ratio and 2.0 Dolby
sound is disappointing for a television series
which offers ground-breaking use of special
effects. --Nikki Disney

Ally McBeal - Season 3 Part 1 [DVD] [1998]

Ally McBeal - Season 3 Part 1 [DVD] [1998]

In David E Kelley's Boston law drama,Ally McBeal, his lawyers' private and work lives are ... more

always inextricably linked. Nobody does anything
in the "Cage and Fish" firm without their
colleagues knowing about it, including going to
the toilet. Kelley is as willing as always to
embrace implausible coincidence in his storylines
for the pay-off of maintaining the high pace and
dramatic neatness.Our anti-heroine Ally McBeal
starts her third season with a wet, wordless fling
in a car wash with Jason Gedrick, and it's no
surprise that Ally ends up facing Gedrick at the
altar when a client asks her to be bridesmaid.
With the entire firm invited along as guests, can
she keep quiet about the groom? Well, you know
Ally--she may not have any lasting success in the
romance department but it's a subject she feels
very strongly about. The third season sees fewer
CGI expressions of Ally's thoughts and
imagination, but the drama is just as colourful.
Billy's increasing concerns over the balance of
male and female power manifests itself in his
newly dyed blond hair and his hiring of six
PVC-clad women to follow him around boosting his
testosterone. Other highlights include Ally
exploring her lesbian side with Ling, Elaine
posing as John's "fluffer" to banish his sexual
insecurities and an explosive Thanksgiving party
at Ally's. There are plotlines within Series 3
which stretch plausibility, such as finding out
that Ally's dad is the man Georgia's been snogging
to forget her husband's metamorphosis into a
blonde-haired, sexist egomaniac.Ally McBealdoes
have the tendency to descend into sickening
sentimental tosh, like all the "child inside"
nonsense in Episode 11, but that aside, it
continues to provide escapist entertainment of the
first order. --Emma Perry

My new addiction

Advantages: sexy, sassy, absolutely crazy and shows that normal people don't really exist
Disadvantages: addictive, you might abandon your idea of a stable world where everyone acts entirely reasonable

...a few random episodes from Ally McBeal on TV before and quite enjoyed it so when I saw the HMV offer for the complete first season of Ally McBeal for 9.99 I thought it was time to give it a go.

The first season has 22 episodes plus the trailer, all of which you will find on the 6 discs that make up the box set.

*DISC 1*
0. Pilot
1. Compromising positions
2. The kiss
3. The affair

...many things I like about Ally McBeal is that you could have never guessed what they do or how they'll handle a situation.

*The Characters*

ALLY - our protagonist. She is probably best described as nuts. And don't tell me I'm politically incorrect - here's what she said herself: "I like being a mess. It's who I am."

When we meet Ally she's just left law school and has taken on her first job in ... more

"I Just Had Computer Sex! It Was Amazing!"

Advantages: Fantastic comedy, great stories, fantastic cast
Disadvantages: None

Only in Ally Mcbeal would you hear people talking about computer sex, showing off face bra's and sniffing each others butts. From writer David. E. Kelly, (Boston Legal and Chicago Hope) comes this fantastic comedy which is Ally McBeal. Airing between 1997 to 2001, Ally McBeal was a fantastic hit both in the states and here in the UK, (Channel 4). Season One starts with us meeting Ally (Calista Flockhart) as a child. She sniffed the butt of a boy ...
...went off to law school, Ally simply following Billy there, but Billy decided to end it with Ally. So Ally completed law school on her own. Many years later, Ally gets fired from her law firm and bumps into an old friend, Richard Fish (Greg Germann) who hires her to work as his law firm. So Ally starts work and then finds out Billy works there with his new wife. So that's the scene set. What can you expect from the rest of the season? Well without ...
