Denny Crane might be 100% Ammurrican, but Shatner is Canadian.

I thought the same thing.

Boston Legal actually has a very strong anti-gun message. Shatner's character is the only pro-gun person on the show, and he is always portrayed as a bumbling idiot who also happens to be mentally ill. These short clips don't really give you the full effect.

A bumbling idiot gun owner and obviously mentally ill due to his owning guns.

Of course the interesting thing is that when it comes down to having to use the guns, he succeeds brilliantly.

I watched the episode.

I don't watch this show, have never seen it until today. I don't watch most network TV shows. 24, House. That's it.

Anyway, this show is clearly anti-gun. But heck, it's not "Austin Legal", it's "Boston Legal". At least they reflect the opinion of those in Boston pretty accurately.

The show is highly liberal but the only reason I watch is Denny Crane. Shatner is brilliant in this role. He does use guns quite often, one scene he went in the court room dressed in an old costume carrying a musket and accidently fires into the ceiling. The attorney who was held at gunpoint is sterotype lib but actually admits he owns a gun in the last episode. Maybe the producers are coming around.

Definitely Shatner's best role ever. He's brilliant.

Point. I'll qualify further, best role in a series as a regular character.

Er..as a little one, that episode was scary!
