I used to mock William Shatner, like we all did, when his stilted over-acted bits on the original Star Trek were on repeat & syndication shows during the 70's and 80's... but man did I LOVE those old episodes, and the Star Trek's that followed.
Then, he went and created Denny Crane .. on "Boston Legal"..... what a great comeback, and something really worth seeing. EVEN IF you detested his performance in past TJ Hooker episodes, etc... Denny Crane is the real thing..
Anyway, a nice article .. worth a read.
