Kelley Productions and <a href="/wiki/20th_Century_Fox_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="20th Century Fox Television">20th Century Fox Television</a>. Kelley and Bill D'Elia were the series' executive producers. </p><p>The series revolves around <a href="/wiki/Calista_Flockhart" title="Calista Flockhart">Calista Flockhart</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Ally_McBeal_(character)" title="Ally McBeal (character)">title role</a> as a lawyer working in the <a href="/wiki/Boston" title="Boston">Boston</a> <a href="/wiki/Law_firms_in_fiction" title="Law firms in fiction">law firm</a> Cage and Fish. Although ostensibly a legal drama, the main focus of the series is the romantic and personal lives of the main characters. The show originally aired on <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a> from September 8, 1997, to May 20, 2002. </p><p>The series received critical acclaim in its early seasons, winning the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Globe_Award_for_Best_Television_Series_%E2%80%93_Musical_or_Comedy" title="Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy">Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy</a> in 1998 and 1999, and also winning the <a href="/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Comedy_Series" title="Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series">Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series</a> in 1999. The series was canceled by Fox after five seasons. </p><p>Potential revivals of the show have been reported twice. In March 2021, it was reported that a revival as a limited series was in early development by <a href="/wiki/20th_Television" title="20th Television">20th Television</a> with Flockhart possibly returning.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In August 2022, it was reported that <a href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a> was in early development of a sequel series and had approached Flockhart to reprise her role and executive-produce. However, regardless of the report, neither project has eventuated yet. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ally_McBeal&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Overview"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Ally_McBeal_(character)" title="Ally McBeal (character)">Allison Marie "Ally" McBeal</a> begins working at the <a href="/wiki/Boston" title="Boston">Boston</a> law firm Cage & Fish, co-owned by her law school classmate Richard Fish (<a href="/wiki/Greg_Germann" title="Greg Germann">Greg Germann</a>). She left her previous firm due to sexual harassment. On her first day, Ally is dismayed to discover that she will be working alongside her ex-boyfriend Billy Thomas (<a href="/wiki/Gil_Bellows" title="Gil Bellows">Gil Bellows</a>)—whom she has never gotten over. Even worse, Billy is now married to fellow lawyer Georgia (<a href="/wiki/Courtney_Thorne-Smith" title="Courtney Thorne-Smith">Courtney Thorne-Smith</a>), who later joins Cage & Fish. The triangle among the three forms the basis for the main plot for the show's first three seasons. </p><p>Although ostensibly a legal drama, the main focus of the series is the romantic and personal lives of the main characters, often using legal proceedings as <a href="/wiki/Plot_device" title="Plot device">plot devices</a> to contrast or reinforce a character's drama. For example, bitter divorce litigation of a client might provide a backdrop for Ally's decision to break up with a boyfriend. Legal arguments were also frequently used to explore multiple sides of various social issues. </p><p>Cage & Fish (which becomes Cage/Fish & McBeal; Cage, Fish, & Associates towards the end of the series), the law firm where most of the characters work, is depicted as a highly sexualized environment symbolized by its unisex restroom. Lawyers and secretaries in the firm routinely date, flirt with, or have a romantic history with one another and frequently run into former or potential romantic interests in the courtroom or on the street outside. </p><p>The series had many offbeat and frequently surreal <a href="/wiki/Running_gag" title="Running gag">running gags</a> and themes, such as Ally's tendency to immediately fall over whenever she met somebody she found attractive, Richard Fish's <a href="/wiki/Wattle_(anatomy)" title="Wattle (anatomy)">wattle</a> fetish and humorous mottos ("Fishisms" & "Bygones"), John's gymnastic dismounts out of the office's unisex bathroom stalls, or the dancing twins (played by Eric & Steve Cohen) at a frequented bar. The show uses vivid, dramatic fantasy sequences for Ally's and other characters' wishful thinking; of particular note is the early internet sensation, the <a href="/wiki/Dancing_baby" title="Dancing baby">dancing baby</a>. </p><p>The series also featured regular visits to a local bar where singer <a href="/wiki/Vonda_Shepard" title="Vonda Shepard">Vonda Shepard</a> regularly performed (though occasionally handing over the microphone to the characters). Star contemporary singers also performed in the bar at the end of the shows, including acts such as <a href="/wiki/Mariah_Carey" title="Mariah Carey">Mariah Carey</a>, <a href="/wiki/Barry_White" title="Barry White">Barry White</a> and <a href="/wiki/Anastacia" title="Anastacia">Anastacia</a>. The series also took place in the same continuity as David E. Kelley's legal drama <i><a href="/wiki/The_Practice" title="The Practice">The Practice</a></i> (which aired on <a href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a>), as the two shows crossed over with one another on occasion, a rare occurrence for two shows that aired on different networks. </p><p>Ultimately, in the series finale "Bygones", Ally leaves Cage & Fish and relocates to New York City. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ally_McBeal&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ally_mcbeal_season_4_cast.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Ally_mcbeal_season_4_cast.jpg/220px-Ally_mcbeal_season_4_cast.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="168" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Ally_mcbeal_season_4_cast.jpg/330px-Ally_mcbeal_season_4_cast.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/28/Ally_mcbeal_season_4_cast.jpg 2x" data-file-width="361" data-file-height="276" /></a><figcaption>Cast of season 4 (<i>from left</i>): (<i>top</i>) Liu, Downey, Krakowski, Germann, MacNicol;

"The ease with which <i>McBeal</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'s</span> depictions of women are reincorporated into dominant masculinist discourses ... is particularly problematic for professional women. The increased danger that co-optation poses for professional women is due to the complex ways in which the discursive sedimentation that surrounds the female body, particularly as it has been traditionally sexualized and linked to emotionality, operates as a barrier to women's full and effective participation in professional spheres. Thus, <i>McBeal</i> operates as a cautionary tale about the dangers presented by the co-optation of postfeminist and third-wave feminist discourses as they relate to current professional discourses surrounding the female body."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-16"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-16">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation magazine cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,988616,00.html">"Is Feminism Dead?
