Aided by clever allusions to Shatner`s Star Trek legacy and disposable references to their own status as characters on a TV show (as Kelley and his writers deliberately demolish television`s “fourth wall” for comic effect), Spader and Shatner quickly turned their end-of-episode balcony scenes into an honorable tradition where differences in the tastes of fine scotch and slow-tasting cigars.

He runs the office (and shares scotch and cigars on the balcony) with his founding partner Denny Crane (Shatner), an eccentric former trial lawyer who now notoriously manages alone, for better or worse.

The courtroom combines theatricality. The departure of his girlfriend Tara (Rhona Mitra from Season 1) has made Alan thoughtfully lonely, so his male bond with Denny becomes the emotional core of the series, even as he reaches new heights of hilarity in episodes like “Finding Nimmo,” an instant classic in which Denny introduces Alan to the joys of fly fishing.

And while senior partner Paul Lewiston (René Auberjonois) juggles the company`s ethical dilemmas and bumpy reunion with his drug-addicted daughter (superbly played by Jayne Brook), founding partner Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen) dodges the advances of her soon-to-be-remarried ex-husband (Tom Selleck), while she suspects Denny`s future sixth wife (Joanna Cassidy) of digging gold with high stakes.
