Ally Mcbeal's Most Amusing Episode

     In season 1 of Ally McBeal, Ally  (Calista Flockhart) was a bit of a fuddy-duddy, but a fairly harmless woman. Some of my favorite Ally moments were more embarrassing than shocking.


  • She dated a Rabbi
  • She is asked to eulogize a professor she had an affair with
  • She assaulted a woman in the supermarket of a can of Pringles
  • She got caught stealing spermicidal jelly from a grocery store (just in case)
  • She gives mouth to moth to a client and he tries to call off his wedding
  • She was let go from her job for objecting to a senior partner grabbing her butt
  • She and her roommate Renee (Lisa Nicole Carson) have a dirty joke contest
  • She was brought in on multiple cases to sway the judge with her view of true love, and ...
  • She was secretly in love with Billy (her married boyfriend from college)


     Later on in season 1's The Blame Game,  Ally really lets loose.  In the previous episode, Ally has a one-night stand with a male model, played by OLTL and Port Charles soap star, Micheal Easton. Ally runs into him again and finds he hasn't left town, which means there is a good reason to use that jelly. Then the model outright ignores her and tells Ally she's too old, and the entire bar sings sports arena favorite Na Na Na Hey Hey directly to her. Even the dancing baby  (see video below) can't cheer up Ally enough. So, she and Renee embark on a revnge plot for the model called "The Penguin." This isn't your traditional Barney Stinson's Bro Code play, although it does sound like one.


     The penguin involves Renee going out with the model and luring him to an outdoor location (in this case a pond). Renee begins kissing him and gets him to take off his pants, then she makes him chase her out to the street, where he is caught waddling with his bare freezing legs (and other parts). Ally and Georgia (Billy's wife) drive by and laugh and cheer, humiliating him. God thing this was before camera phones. Cheers Ally, you win this one.
