Season 8 of "The Practice"
19 March 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Does anyone know why the re-runs of "The Practice" stopped after Season 7 and went back to the Pilot episode? I specifically wanted to see Alan Shore (James Spader) when he first appeared on "The Practice". If anyone knows if the airing of Season 8 is scheduled in the near future, please let me know. (mothersam9@aol.com) Thanks. I am very curious to see if Alan Shore changed his personality from "The Practice" to "Boston Legal". I love him on "Boston Legal" and can't imagine him being different in any way. I started watching "The Practice" a month or so ago just so I could see Alan Shore.....that's when I researched on the Internet that his character didn't even show up on the series until the first episode of the 8th (last) season. I was so ready to watch Alan Shore come on board this morning, just to be devastated that it was the Pilot episode that aired instead of Episode 1 of Season 8! HELP!!!!
