75th Emmy Awards: Ally McBeal

[@jtgh922]

Wow...i know this was supposed to make me laugh, but I did shed a tear. You see, Ally McBeal was one of the few shows my mom I agreed upon; we'd watch together, LIVE (NO DVR) every week, back when appointment TV was a thing. My mom passed from cancer 2 years ago so I don't get to watch with her anymore, but this brought back such great memories!

[@kathykb8123]

I know exactly what you mean. My mom passed 5 years ago, and there were many shows we watched together. Makes me teary eyed as well.

[@imalwaysright]

🙏🙏🙏

[@JosephFarrelltron]

Basically same story for me. My best friend who also loved it also passed on. Came here to see what others were saying because I have no one to talk to about it.

[@notadum1]

Similar story here. My mom has advanced dementia, and when I saw this, for a second I forgot my mom’s state and thought I should send this to her. This show was a weekly bond for us and it will always hold a special place in my heart. So sorry for your loss.❤️‍🩹

[@elmaaliefendic5847]

Oh guys, wish that cast can see your comments and how they were part of lives. I’m sure they will ☺️

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

I was crazy about that show! Ally McBeal was ahead of its time and I wish we could binge watch it on Netflix now.

This brought back memories of the 90‘s being a young, free & single 😊 girl with a good job, my own appartment and car & putting myself 1st 😮!!! Why do we get to see Friends reruns soooo much (I do love love love it too!) but never have seen Ally McBeal since the original airing??? BRING BACK THE GOOD OLDIES I say!! ❤

[@jeanh6649]

Aw, this brings back happy memories. Such a well written and acted show. The music by Vonda Shepard was so great too. Made me laugh so much. I learned so many words from this programme. I used to write the whole sentence down in a notebook and look up the words in the dictionary! Lovely to see you all again. You all look great. Lots of love from Ireland. ❤

This was one of my favorite moments!! I wish it was longer and involved more of the cast!!

Yep

[@mkygod]

agreed. It would have been amazing to have Portia, Lucy, Jane, and Lisa Nicole join them too.

[@vipuntilwhenever128]

Yessss

[@RF23232]

​@@mkygod If you hear how Portia talks about her involvement in the show you understand why she isn't there. I always got the feeling that she didn't experience the fame that she expected from her role in the show. Or what she said was true. 🤷🏿‍♂️ We'll never know.

[@bernlin2000]

Calista is absolutely GLOWING, such a lovely, unexpected moment 🙂 absolutely absurd to suggest this woman is nearing 60 now, craziness!!!

[@jpjordan90]

Used to love this show. John Cage was such a wonderfully weird character.

[@Saigeee333]

Calista looks AMAZING, I love her hairstyle and dress so much. She’s as vibrant as her. Can’t wait to see her performance in Feud: Capote v. The Swans.

[@frankievalentine6112]

Same same I can't wait for that show!!

[@JeromeGentes]

I saw her last year onstage as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf at the Geffen Playhouse. She was FANTASTIC!

[@ProuvaireJean]

@@JeromeGentes I was blown away by her Martha, in part because it's a role I never could have imagined her doing. Zachary Quinto as George was bloody impressive as well. I've seen quite a few productions of WAoVW? over the years, but this one and the Steppenwolf one (with Tracy Letts and Amy Morton) are the two standouts.

[@mkygod]

She actually looks better than she did in Supergirl from years back.

My favorite moment... I miss this show so much. It came on when I was in high school. It was my 90s! Such a great show, and the cast still looks great!

[@misslegacyatheart]

This is amazing!! Ally was lighting in a bottle and few shows now, if any, have that kind of energy and kismet.

[@maxthepupp]

@missleacyatheart Lightning in a bottle - Great way to put that! It really was! From the first 10 minutes it engaged you enough to buy in - for better or worse for the run of the show. Like ( for me) Buffy or Northern Exposure. Immediately likeable!

[@loonycushion]

The whole world watched this show.

[@nad0862]

Yes Friends, Ally Mac Beal and Malcolm in the middle were really lightning in a bottle for a lot of people. They don’t do that kind of shows anymore most shows are just so depressing and dark these days.

[@ysalvarita]

I love Ally McBeal! Always been a fan of the show. Brilliant and funny. Too bad Elaine is not there.

[@memento81]

It is such a wonderful show striking a great balance between quirky comedy often revolving around mental health struggles and a law firm drama with hot topic cases and ethical conundrums. I wish the She-Hulk writers had watched it because this was their perfect blue print they could have adapted. A quarter century old show that was still more progressive, inclusive and feminist than the pandering flat garbage we are getting from Disney today.

I am delighted to see how many mothers and daughters watched this show together. Same for my mom and I. We were obsessed! In fact, my sisters and I rehearsed this dance and performed it for my mom’s 60th birthday! Please reboot this magical show!!!

[@TheTraceC]

I absolutely LOVED THIS!! WHAT A TREAT! BEST PART OF THE SHOW! To see this cast together again, no less in that iconic scene, was nothing short of AWESOME! 😊

[@-.J.S.]

How nice to see part of the cast. Ally McBeal is an amazing show. It holds very well even today in my opinion. I'm glad to have all the seasons on DVD. It's such a good feel show and yet it makes me think about a lot of issues. And the musical parts are magical to me.

[@lisamerrill24]

I own all the DVDs too. And it is the only show I watch over and over and over again. Loved this show. It was very unusual.

It felt like seeing old friends, those three actors embodied characters I watched weekly and wondered about. They were and are still, so good. Its sad now to realize that I completely forgot about them as actors. I loved them as actors wearing their characters and as a group of actors working together. It was a great show and its great the Emmys honored them.

[@patpritchard8200]

I loved this show back in the day, currently watching again, just got to season 4, loving it all over again.

[@ah7910]

It’s a bit spooky for me, as having not watched it for 25 years, I bought the complete DVD boxset and have been working my way through each evening. And you know what? It’s better than I remembered, TV really was better then. Now it’s made for people with ADHD. The show is touching, wholesome, quirky and often laugh out loud funny. It has heart, and Vonda Shephard’s jazz and soul music is sheer heaven. Again, TV created for a classier time. I was in my teens when it first aired, and so glad I can rewatch it as an proper adult now. This Emmy segment was wonderful, I feel quite tearful. I had thought she had shunned acting and would never do something like this in a million years… so wonderful to hear her speak and with such a positive energy. Thank you Emmys, thank you Calista.

Such fond memories of better times in my life. Ally, Barry, liked them all.

[@fionam7768]

Oh, and how important it was - IMHO- to RDJ's journey back to the mainstream. He was so good in it, and CF made sure people could see what he could still do, even broken. So that when he fell again - and he did; he wasn't quite there yet - he, and audiences, had proof that there was a way back in front of the camera IF he could get behind the camera together. And he did. And deserves all the praise he gets for getting there. But he never forgets the people, like CF and the 'Ally' team, who got him through to getting-there. ❤❤❤❤
