» » Boston Legal Duck and Cover (2004–2008)

Short summary

Alan ends up defending the priest overseeing Brad and Denise's wedding for harboring an illegal alien. Brad feels pressured to make sure his child is not born out of wedlock. Jerry's first client after coming back to the firm is a woman who was evicted from her apartment for having a pet duck. And Denny gets his hands on the NHL Stanley Cup and Shirley warns Denny that his antics will no longer be tolerated by the rest of the partners.

The title refers to the US Government campaign during the Cold War to reassure the Americans that one can survive a nuclear blast by crawling under something.

Jerry asks his client "Why a duck?" This is the title of one of the Marx Brothers most famous routines from the movie Cocoanuts.

    First I thought this episode should be used to get people hooked on this show, but then I realized that this would probably be too much for starters. No, this episode is a pure gem for veterans of the show. Like an aged and prized whisky, to be enjoyed with pride ... and with fireworks, a stampede, hookers running naked, and everything in between. This is a true testimony for everything we love about this show... multiplied by 10.

    I rest my case.

    I love this show and it makes all that is wrong with this world go away for an hour. Its pure escapism , and yet can be a learning experience with the court cases they represent . I did find , tho, a mistake in the fact that in this episode, a person is taken out of a church, which is supposed to be deemed a sanctuary and Boston is a sanctuary city . I felt bad for the demise of the duck and wished it had been the landlord instead
