DVD Reviews of Ally McBeal - Ally on Sex and the Single Life
DVD Review: Simply Ally
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed "Ally McBeal" when it was on television. I'm happy to have this DVD that highlights some of the best "Ally McBeal" shows. The humor and funny antics of this show still make me laugh. DVD Review: I purchased this as a gift for someone
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this as a gift for someone. She absolutely loved it! She is a huge Ally McBeal fan and could not wait to watch it. The price is right. I really would have liked to purchased the other ones but they were not available.
DVD Review: Region 2 Only?
Summary: 5 Stars
So, buy you a DVD player that can play both regions, or buy region 2 and burn the DVDs into no region copies.
Once again, the bloody musical copyright issues kills another brilliant work of ART!
The same thing happened with Northern Exposure's release to DVD. The American legal copyright issues can be damned. Your fans hate you for it.
DVD Review: Ally McBeal - Ally on Sex and teh Single Life
Summary: 5 Stars
Brought back many laughs made me wanting more...DVD Review: BE WARNED, watching this will make you wish the whole series was available!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I missed the first two years of this show when it broadcast. I caught the third show of the third season and fell in love. When it went off the air I thought it couldn't be too long and they'd release it on VHS or DVD. I'm still waiting. If you're desperate for a peak of her wildly short skirts or a Fishism, this DVD will help you. But do be warned as it may just make you crazy for more. Oh to visit that unisex toilet again!!!
Description of Ally McBeal - Ally on Sex and the Single Life
THEME OF LIFE-Ally agrees to see Dr. Tracy Clark(Tracey Ullman), John Cages therapist. Not only does Dr. Clark tell Ally to go ahead with her scheduled kickboxing match with Georgia, but she tells her to get a theme song, "something with bounce." Will this help relieve Ally's stress over a "real" case, defending an attractive doctor from a malpractice suit? Or is it just another chance to fantasize? THE PLAYING FIELD-Dr. Tracy Clark (Tracey Ullman) tells Ally, "You can't stand being liked for your sex appeal and you can't stand not being liked for it." Then she tells Ally to get rid of the dancing baby. Unfortunately, Ally kicks a 'little person' by mistake thinking it's her dancing baby.When Ally McBeal premiered on the Fox network in 1997, the series was already riding high on critical praise, with its upscale mix of savvy humor and hot-topic legal drama. Created, produced, and written entirely by the amazingly prolific David?E. Kelley, the show immediately found an appreciative audience of women drawn to the title character's frank perspectives on dating, sex, and career objectives, and men lured by a cast full of attractive, outspoken women with vibrant personalities and flattering wardrobes. (If you think that's a sexist observation, you haven't tuned in to the show's brilliant balance of male chauvinism, feminist attitude, and hilariously turbulent office politics.)
This two-disc compilation of episodes from the show's first season is aptly titled, because Ally McBeal--a Boston lawyer played by Calista Flockhart--is defined by her seemingly perpetual singlehood, her sexual and emotional yearnings, her professional passions, and--by one of Kelley's creative masterstrokes--her flights of imagination (often visualized via amusing computer-generated effects) that give the series a constant, unpredictable edge of humor and emotional depth.
These well-chosen episodes offer a comprehensive summary of the first season's major developments, including the emotional history shared by Ally and her now-married colleague Billy (Gil Bellows); the notorious "dancing baby" (in "Cro-Magnon") symbolizing the insistent ticking of Ally's biological clock; the amiable quirks of John "the Biscuit" Cage (Peter MacNicol); and the dubious pearls of wisdom known as "Fishisms." Here we witness the sublime chemistry of the ensemble cast, and each member is given ample time in the spotlight. Regular guest star Dyan Cannon is strongly featured in "Silver Bells," prior to the second-season addition of Nelle (Portia DeRossi) and Ling (Lucy Liu). That leaves plenty of room to establish Ally McBeal as the lively focus of the series--confused, opinionated, sexy, neurotic, frustrated, ecstatic, intelligent, emotional... and never, ever boring. --Jeff Shannon
