I loved this series from the first time I saw it. It still remains one of my all time favorites because of its uniqueness. The characters are all hilarious in their flaws and absolute human qualities of inperfection. The storylines are great and I love the technique that is now used in Scrubs where characters are given sound effects, animation and outside thoughts presented in really funny ways. This quirky series is at its best in the first three seasons.

The complete season 2!

"The menus and navigating is a little awkward, but its the best we've got so I can't complain: I'm thrilled to see Ally again just as the episodes aired in good quality and with music in tact.

DON"T WORRY IF YOU DON"T HAVE A REGION 2 PLAYER: IF YOU HAVE A PC OR AN OLDER MAC* YOU CAN DOWNLOAD "VLC MEDIA PLAYER" FOR FREE AND WATCH IT ON YOUR COMPUTER! Try it... just google VLC.
*(will not work on Macs younger than 2003, I believe)."

It's finally here!

"This was one of those quirky little shows set in a law firm. It uses its cases to set the mood for each episode but also relies on the peccadillos of its main characters to anchor the show. We have the wattle man, the Barbie doll, the nose noise man; even the unisex bathroom almost becomes a character.

Ally had once dated one of the other lawyers who works at the firm with his current wife which sets the mood for a lot of sexual tension. Ally is supposedly still in love with him though she manages to fall in love with most other hunky men who walk through her door.

As we move through the subsequent seasons we follow the loves and losses of most all of the Firms oddball ensemble cast. I can understand how the feminist movement pointed to this series with disdain. Ally was not an "I can do" female. In fact she was kind of an "I'm falling apart" type of gal. Sort of like me. Maybe that's why I'm so fascinated by this series.

It's too bad the music licensing issue keep this funny show out of the market for so long. There is a large current group of the purchasing public who will probably not buy this series because it's now just too old. I'm giving the same review to each year of the series because they're pretty much alike with interchangeable boyfriends and co-workers - but they're all good.....bg

Five Stars for the show, ZERO for the studio!!!

"Not only has it taken FOX over a decade to finally get around to releasing this show for the American viewers but they release the box set first with no tentative dates for the individual seasons (save season one which I suppose they HAD to release at the same time as the box set just keep the uproar to a minimum). Its these actions of studios, like FOX, that encourage bootlegging and piracy which they claim to hate. Then they have the audacity to boast that these DVD's contain the "original" music. I'd like to be naive enough to say, "what else would they contain?" Of course, many times that is just the greed of the original music artists demanding too much money for something they did 10-15 years ago."
