Ally (1999–2000) User Reviews

Really Cool Series!

[macpherr · 7 February 2001]

When I first started watching Ally, I really did it because the show is more about Ally's private life than law. I did not understand that because in my mind the show should be about law, not her life. Well, Ally kind of grew on me that I got used to the fact that law is not really the main issue. David E. Kelley (Boston Public) is a remarkable writer because he is always leading the audience to deal with a legal issue is a suave way. There is a lot of law in the show, but it is just not blunt. I like Calista Flockhart "Ally McBeal" and I can identify with her because of her profession and thinness, when I was her age I also was the thinnest of the thins. I am not that anymore, not because of my but, but because of gravity! She is a very good actress. With "Larry Paul" Golden Globe Winner, Robert Downey Jr. Ally is much more interesting. I wish Downey the best in his personal and professional life. (Take Care, Robert! We are rooting for you ) Downey is obviously a very sensitive person in a tough environment. Well, I am just putting my 5c in because everybody likes Ally.

Going to miss it

Fox isn't doing really well. Terrible in fact. Now that X-files and Ally are now canceled, Dark Angel (Jessica Alba) has a chance of joining them. If that happens, Fox will have to fill in 3 more hours of new shows.

Ok, back to Ally, that's being canceled because of low ratings. Jon Bon Jovi, Christina Ricci, Matthew Perry and all of the other stars didn't work out. Ally was truly a comedy about the law. After May 20th, it's going to be "Ally who?" Just thank goodness Boston Public is looking forward to another season. Watch Ally McBeal, Monday nights on Fox at 9:00 P.M. Eastern, while you can!
