[Editor`s note: We think this is the clip. We have no insider knowledge. This is purely speculative and certainly no disrespect or injury is expected. Additional clips on Outfoxed.org.] One of his favorites for milestones in the history of right-wing dramas is Boston Legal, and the chapter of this show ends with a mention of this episode. One of the most original episodes of Boston Legal — in which he collaborated with a co-writer, Phoef Sutton — was “Son of the Defender” in 2007, in which Denny Crane was forced to recount a murder trial he had co-sponsored fifty years earlier as a young lawyer alongside his father in the new family business. For flashbacks, the Boston episode used Kinescope footage from the two-part episode “The Defender” by CBS Studio One`s Reginald Rose, in which Ralph Bellamy played the father and a young William Shatner played the son. This live TV show was fifty years earlier and was a particularly clever use of a very old TV legal drama to tell an entirely new story. I also found it interesting that something similar happened on a previous Shatner show. The two-part episode “The Menagerie” of Star Trek included footage from the original pilot of the series “The Cage.” While Shatner didn`t play a role in the pilot, Leonard nimoy did play Spock, so the episode focused on his relationship with the former captain of the Enterprise. Given that Shatner has always been there and has been a staple of television and film for so long, footage of his appearance in the 1957 television pilot The Defender could be incorporated into this week`s episode. Season One/Additional Information The following information about the episode will be incorporated into a separate episode page – possibly PS: I can`t find any clarification as to whether this was intentional, as the writers based the episode on the knowledge that this old series existed and could be used, but I`m still looking.
