Tonights (April 3, 2007) episode of Boston Legal (entitled: Son of the Defender) contained many long clips of the original 1957 Studio One episode of "The Defender". The clips were excellently woven into the show as flashbacks to Denny Crane's first case, which several times throughout the show was stated to have taken place in 1957 as well! Previous to tonight's episode I was completely unfamiliar with Studio One, and I was floored at seeing this very old footage which clearly was Shattner in his youth. But I knew good old IMDb would be there to help me find where the footage was from, and I hope other fans of Shattner track down this episode of Boston Legal (surely it will re-run this season, otherwise there's always the internet). This is a MUST see for fans of Shattner.
