Tell Us About The Mcbeal Appeal

Sat., March 14, 1998

If you’re a fan, you don’t need a TV schedule to tell you what’s on at 9 p.m. Monday on Fox.

Calista Flockhart stars as “Ally McBeal,” a young, neurotic lawyer whose struggles with career, love and life have won the hearts of viewers nationwide. In its first season, “McBeal” garnered two Golden Globe awards: best comedy series (beating out favorites “Seinfeld” and “Frasier”) and a best actress award for Flockhart.

Do you, too, feel the “McBeal appeal?” Does the show, famous for quirks like a unisex bathroom and a dancing baby, speak to you about law, life or both? Do Ally’s obsessions make you rejoice with realism or cringe with disgust?
