I completely missed the first 5 years but having recently discovered
'Ally McBeal' via the 5 seasons on DVD I'm delighted the series is
being rebroadcast on UK/Irish TV.
I've been telling friends and acquaintences to look out for it on
Paramount & TV3 - it's nice to be able to talk about the show
Does anyone know of sites that archive the old gossip & rumours about
the show e.g. why did Renee/Georgia leave - most of my searches lead
to dead links
