I enjoyed the show, glad reruns are on.
I love when a show's character's have inside jokes about real life or previous shows.
My fav scene had Shatner and Spader on the roof top smoking a cigar, and Shatner was worried about his "Mad Cow Disease" and slowly dying.
Spader said something like, "Oh Denny, don't worry about dying, you are going to out live all of us, we I'll be dead, and you will still be doing Priceline commercials."

One of my favorite episodes -- very poignant -- was when they interspersed Denny Crane's case with flashbacks to when he had the same defendant, years earlier ... using as flashbacks, the black and white footage of a very young Shatner from a previous, unrelated TV show, where Shatner also played a lawyer. That was definitely one of the most clever ways to do a flashback that I've ever seen.
Edit: found the episode:
