Boston Legal

Race Ipsa - S2-E23

Revealing mistake: When Denise is showing Brad how to kiss, the first kiss is a typical "stage kiss" with their lips pretty clamped shut, but she then details what he's doing wrong with his tongue, which clearly wasn't at all involved with the sort of kiss they just shared.

Hired Guns - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: As Denny walks out of his office after shooting the assailant, Sally moves to the doorway, hands by her sides. Shot cuts to further away and her hand is suddenly up by her mouth. (00:32:40)

Trivia: Alan tells Denny that he'll outlive them all, and will still be out there "doing Priceline commercials". William Shatner did commercials for Priceline for many years.

Let Sales Ring - S1-E16

Trivia: Alan mentions networks even censoring their scripted shows - that's a pointed reference to the fact that ABC executives ordered any explicit references of Fox News to be removed from this episode.

Son of the Defender - S3-E18

Trivia: The footage of Denny Crane as a young man trying a case with his father comes from a TV play called "The Defender", broadcast live in 1957. The details of the case and trial are the same as referenced in this episode, and the title of this episode is a direct reference. One notable difference is that Joseph Gordon, here played by James Keane, was played by Steve McQueen in the original, who of course couldn't reprise his role.

Alan Shore: Ah, Denny, I've hardly seen you this episode.

Denny Crane: Now, Alan, if all else fails and you think you've lost... pretend you've won! Works for our president.

Brad Chase: I outrank you.
Alan Shore: And I'm such a slut for authority.
