Ally McBeal is a tv series on Fox about a character of the same name (Calista Flockhart), a lawyer at the age of 28, working at a Boston firm called Cage & Fish, after partners John Cage (Peter McNicol) and Richard Fish (Greg Germann). She is employed along with other young lawyers in similar situations meeting challenges in their careers and personal lives. Intermittently through their romantic entanglements, always complicated and often amusing, especially those involving Ally, the cases they were working on would somehow parallel or comment on what was going on in their personal lives. Cage & Fish is a highly sexual work environment, indicated by the unisex bathroom. Some of the other employees include her ex-boyfriend Billy Thomas (Gil Bellows) and his gorgeous wife Georgia Thomas (Courtney Thorne-Smith), Ally’s nosy secretary Elaine Vassal (Jane Krakowski), ruthless but excellent litigator Nelle Porter (Portia de Rossi), frequent enemy and seemingly heartless lawyer Ling Woo (Lucy Liu), and Vonda Shephard as herself performing at a local bar the characters frequented, providing a musical background to what was happening in the show. This was one of the many more surreal elements that recurred, as well as Ally’s tendency to fall over when she was a guy she found attractive, and the dancing baby she envisioned when her biological clock started to tick. Later episodes also included guest stars James Marsden and Christina Ricci, and musical guests Al Green and Barry White.MORE
