Ally McBeal was a television dramady that ran on the FOX network from September 8, 1997 to May 20, 2002. It centered around a love lorn lawyer McBeal (played by Calista Flockhart) who ended up practicing law at the same firm as her childhood sweetheart. While she combated unresolved feelings for him, McBeal took a wide array of eccentric cases, formed life long friendships, and ultimately found love. The program was unique it in its use of fantasy, song, and CGI animation including a dancing baby that haunted McBeal through most of the four seasons.

Skirts and Scrutiny
Ally McBeal drew the ire of feminists for portraying a woman who dropped her entire life to follow her ex-boyfriend, wore miniskirts with her suits, and was almost entirely preoccupied with finding love and having a baby. The show also drew criticism from groups when the already small framed star Calista Flockhart lost a significant amount of weight suggesting that she may suffer from an eating disorder. While she died it at the time, years later Flockart disclosed that she battled anorexia at the television show's run.Quotes
