Ally McBeal

Ally McBeal was an American television seriescalled a "dramedy", created by David e. Kelley. The series ran on CBS from 1997 to 2002. In America was to see the series on FOX, in Netherlands on NET 5 and RTL 5, in Belgium on channel two. In 2007 the series repeated on RTL 8.

The series is about a young lawyer, Ally McBeal, played by Calista Flockhart. She is working in the fictional law firm Cage & Fish in Boston, where she has some very eccentric colleagues. With them she visits arranged a bar, where singer Vonda Shephard usually occurs. A particular aspect of the Office are the so-called unisex toilets.The men's and women's toilets are not separated from each other, and often find here important revelations and developments.

The case law gets little attention in the series. Lawsuits are used as plot means to philosophize about love, sex and romance and relationships between men and women, and to the lives of the characters, especially Ally itself, send.

The series uses fantasy images to the inner thoughts and feelings of characters to depict. As Ally McBeals tongue literally rolls out of her mouth at the sight of an attractive man, there is actually steam from her ears at the chagrin and is very small at great shame. The series also has the so-called "dancing baby" made popular. This is a video file of a three-dimensional baby who dances on the song "Hooked on a Feeling". Ally McBeal was long haunted by a hallucination of this baby, which her desire to have children (the famous ticking biological clock) showed. Another well-known example is the music of Barry White, which was used as a sexual stimulant. As a character (usually John Cage (played by Peter MacNicol)) the music of White in mind hears (often accompanied by a dance), he feels sure sexually. Usually this makes for an irresistible attraction that turns out for other characters.

The series took care of the breakthrough of Lucy Liu, who after the series had big roles in include the two Charlie's Angelsand Kill Bill-the first movie.

Of the original actors played outside Ally only Elaine and Richard in each episode with it.

There was also criticism of the clearly visible weight loss of Calista Flockhart in the second season, that according to the media on anorexia would indicate. One episode, in which the ladies become obsessed by the genitals of a male nude model, came across a lot of criticism because the scene was rather a portrayal of the nightmares of the man than the actual fantasies of women. Also the scene sexist towards men. ==Prices<span class="mw-editsection" len="325" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Won<span class="mw-editsection" len="326" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Emmy Awards:
