Today’s Boston Legal had Scott Bakula, Alison La Placa, and even the great George Wyner! Somebody likes me, and most of these folks I’ve not seen in a while. The show may be utterly disposable entertainment, but …
Oh, wait, I just realized, they have La Placa and Laroquette … its a The John Laroquette Show reunion!
I did not watch the episode yet, but my local paper noted the Scott Bakula / Candace Bergen reunion from Murphy Brown. However, when I looked up last night’s TV schedule at TitanTV, I noticed Alison Laplaca’s name in the Boston Legal write-up and immediately thought of THAT reunion as you noted. Of course, we may be the only two people in America (other than Larroquette and Laplaca themselves) to so note it…
I think it’s odd how much the Laroquette show has fallen off of the radar. It did, after all, run four seasons. Was a pretty good, dark sitcom at the start. Then they lightened it up season by season, making it less good… and for a couple of seasons, got ratings bumps because of it, if memory serves.
I saw a taping of it once. That bus depot was the biggest sitcom set I’ve seen!
Haven’t seen it rerun anywhere.
And I was in the shower when the far more obvious point about Bakula guest-starring: that it’s part of the long tradition of Star Trek cast members on Boston Legal.
