	Ally McBeal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ally McBeal was a television series which ran on the FOX network from 1997 to 2002, and was one of the best-known comedy-drama television series of the 1990s.
		Ally McBeal was hugely successful, but received much criticism from TV critics and feminists who found the title character annoying and demeaning to women because of her excessive flightiness, lack of demonstrated legal knowledge, and extreme emotional instability.
		However, Ally's search for true love struck a chord with young female audiences, and the eccentric characters around her were developed further, giving the show firm footing.

	www.theory.org.uk Resources: Ally McBeal - Role model?
		Ally McBeal, played by Calista Flockhart, is a young lawyer from Harvard and the main character of the successful programme launched in 1997.
		On the whole, Ally McBeal is not a typical central female figure: She is constantly insecure, narcissistically obsessed but at the same time never really happy with herself.
		However, to a certain extent, Ally McBeal can be seen as a typical human in modern society that desires to live a life of her own and struggles with identity matters that arise from the conditions of late modernity.

	Don't Call Me Ally - Lisa Friedman
		Each week, Ally McBeal is portrayed as the stereotypical hysterical woman confronted with a situation which leaves her on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
		Instead, when handling a legal matter, which is a rarity, Ally McBeal’s personal life seems to take precedence as she becomes consumed in a frenzy as to how the legal issue relates to her own personal life, rather than focusing on her client and her client’s needs.
		Ally McBeal, on the other hand, has the emotional maturity level of a seventh-grader and seems more concerned with her personal trials and tribulations than with her professional practice.

	Salon \| "Ally McBeal"
		Now, Ally is supposedly a talented go-getter at an up-and-coming Boston law firm and her voice-overs keep telling us how comfortable and self-assured she feels arguing cases.
		Ally is obsessed with Billy (Gil Bellows), the Moby Dick of would-be husbands.
		Ally McBeal is more like the female Austin Powers, minus the irony; the show is a defrosted throwback to leering '70s "liberated chick" series like "Charlie's Angels" and "Police Woman." Except that producer/writer Kelley is luring you in with intellectual jiggle.

	ALLY McBEAL IS SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
		Ally McBeal debuted on FOX in 1997, and was an instant ratings success.
		Coincidentally, one of the attorneys at the firm is Ally’s former boyfriend, Billy Thomas (Gil Bellows).
		With a few exceptions (such as the recent episode involving Ally and her parents), the storylines that focus on Ally have been relentlessly goofy, and in fact provide growing evidence that Ally is just not a particularly likable character.

		A week earlier in the Times, Ginia Bellafante pointed out that although Ally predates flawed, addled, romantically obsessed heroines like Bridget Jones and her endless parade of imitators, we eventually grew tired of her and blamed her for the whole irritating invasion.
		Ally may have been an original once (this argument goes), but she quickly became a type.
		Defying the holiest of self-help axioms, Ally refused to live in the moment, uncomfortably straddling the past and the future.

		Ally stands on a street corner in downtown Boston waiting for the crossing light.
		For Ally, hearing a smooth music track in a group of strangers is one thing, but to hear it in the office is quite another.

	Ally McBeal \| PopMatters Television Review
		Initially, the episode is amusing, as Ally is introduced to the world of cross-dressers, but turns poignant when the young man returns to the streets one last time with fatal results.
		In one episode, "The Man With the Bag," Nelle (Portia de Rossi), another of Ally's co-workers, must defend her father, fired from his job as a teacher because he believes he is Santa Claus: her embarrassment at her father's delusion is matched by her attempt to understand it.
		He appears in her bedroom, on the street, in a stall in the unisex bathroom at work, everywhere she turns, to the point that, when Ally encounters the real Barry Manilow performing at her favorite nightclub, she assumes he is her fantasy and assaults the singer in front of all her friends and co-workers.

	Amazon.com: Ally McBeal - Ally on Sex and the Single Life: DVD: Greg Germann,Peter MacNicol,Jace Alexander,Sarah Pia ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		When Ally McBeal premiered on the Fox network in 1997, the series was already riding high on critical praise, with its upscale mix of savvy humor and hot-topic legal drama.
		That leaves plenty of room to establish Ally McBeal as the lively focus of the series--confused, opinionated, sexy, neurotic, frustrated, ecstatic, intelligent, emotional...
		Since Ally was in production from 1997 until 2002, just prior and a little bit after the advent of TV on DVD, this probably did not figure into the calculation of Fox as to how this would turn into a legal quagmire that could not be overcome.
