Great episode of "Boston Legal" -- one of their best. Interesting that Steve McQueen played the original defendant "Joe Gordon." The current one I recall portrayed law student "Bell" on the "Paper Chase" TV series.
This 2-part episode of "Studio One" also led to the long-running TV series in the early 1960s entitled "The Defenders," with E.G. Marshall and Robert Reed assuming the father-son roles of the Prestons. Shatner even showed up on some episodes as a district attorney.
This must have brought back memories for Shatner. One item on "Boston Legal" was not brought to a conclusion, however -- did Brad ever extract himself from the air duct??
