I absolutely LOVE cinematic fairy tales
This clip from the early 1990s television series Ally McBeal... was pure slush!
But having said this.....I have to admit that it always made me smile.....especially when Ally walked through the deserted Boston Streets at the end of each episode
(my second fav scene was always the staff of the law firm having early evening drinks at the suddenly busy nightclub every weeknight!

How many out there remember it?
Gosh, was that the 90's? It does not seem like that many years ago. I did enjoy this show. The writing was so good.
ReplyDeleteLoved Ally McBeal... Perhaps the last show I followed regularly. I haven't watch TV since!

The show lost me when the dancing baby came.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome. I could I have forgotten that :-) You'd get up there, wouldn't you John?
ReplyDeleteI did not see the show when it first came out, but last month I watched the entire 4 years on Hulu and loved it. Some shows were not as good as others, year 4 was dicey, but it was worth watching. Not much is.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the programme, but that clip makes me wish I had. Was it always as good as that?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was un missable. I also loved "Thirtysomething" to. x
ReplyDeleteI think it must be an age thing. I never got into it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't stand the show.
ReplyDeleteSorry
yes al..it was rather marmitey
ReplyDeleteand now looks so dated....
Ah, my life in one TV show...
ReplyDeleteThat sure was a fun show. The funny thing is, most of those actors look even better today. How does that work?
ReplyDeleteLove that song!

Must say I have never heard of it. Seems to me you are a bit of a romantic on the quiet John.
ReplyDeleteChuc said he loved watching Ally McBeal. I think I was too young at the time to appreciate it?
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to remember where I put my Vonda Shepard CD.
ReplyDeleteI was too busy with other things to watch it with any regularity, but i can say that about most TV shows.
ReplyDeleteAs for the deserted streets and suddenly busy nightclubs, John, the streets were deserted because everyone was in the nightclub!
I may have to watch some on hulu and see if i like it. The few times i watched it, i thought the characters were too whiny.

Oh John... Ally McBeal was a favorite of mine. I would even purchase it on DVD if it wasn't over $100.00 US.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clip. I loved the dancing baby of course and JOSH Groban episodes too. Sigh pure fantasy.

Had me grinning like a silly cheshire cat from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteJohn...you're my everything!
Whew. As Kermit would say, "Time's fun when you're having flies." I enjoyed that show, but it doesn't seem possible that it was that long ago already. OY. (I wasn't a huge fan of that weird dancing baby, though.)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the cast of characters (wasn't crazy about the Ali McBeal character nor the baby). Most memorable: Ling Woo (Lucy Liu)striding into the office accompanied by the wicked witch song from Oz. It was enjoyed regularly, but got tiresome in the fianl season.
ReplyDeletegod I was a lil tot back when this was on the air.
ReplyDeleteGeez, I loved that show. And my Mum loooooved Barry White. He was gone too soon!
ReplyDeleteLoved that show, was slightly freaked out by the odd dancing baby.... :o)
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about Ali Mc Beal. Yes that was quite fun - didn't she used to have visions of babies as well.
