My own theory on this is that if the series somehow gets picked up for another season, the firm can miraculously recover only a few months after the new President Barack H. Obama rescues the country from complete collapse by re-distributing all the money in the country equally among all of its citizens and raising taxes to 105% on the filthy rich, who after all, have all the money.

In reality, a company the size of Crane, Poole and Schmidt can simply make a loan call on all of its partners and remain solvent while it reduces expenses and re-organizes its structure to be more efficient. Certainly lawyers can survive longer than ordinary citizens since they have no hearts.

We'll see how this plays out.

Disclaimer: Although the series creator David E. Kelley is a liberal idiot, I still enjoy watching Boston Legal. It's actually one of my favorite shows and I should admit that at least 30% of the time I agree with some of the causes pushed by the writers in the court cases.
