Ally McBeal: Fable, or Fact?

[odas]

I hope I'm not chasing an urban legend, but...

I remember many months ago someone said an episode of Ally McBeal had Callista Flockhart say the line: "I just want to come home to a man who will tickle my feet."

I don't know if this is true, but does anyone recall the episode, or even have a clip?

I remember seeing that episode a few years back That one and the one where they had to defend a toe sucker in court I don't have the clips I'm still trying to forget I even watched that show twice I just didn't get that show Maybe it's because I'm a man

I'm not sure if I'm refering to the same show the good General mentioned.....but I know there was an episode of "Ally McBeal" where a middle-aged woman had a case against a guy she dated, who snuck into her house in the middle of the night and tickled her feet.
In fact, in the episode, the woman blurts out in court sounding horrified: "He....He tickled my feet!!"
Never was into this show, found out about this episode thru the t.v. guide, which had the write up: "A case about a guy who likes to tickle feet".

I can clear this up...

You'll all talking about two different episodes.

Odas, to answer your question - this is a fact. In a very early episode of AMB (I think it was the series pilot), Ally gave a speach near the end and said, "all I ever wanted is a guy waiting for me at the end of the day to tickle my feet."

Then in an episode called "Happy Birthday Baby," the firm represented a guy who broke in his gf's home and tickled her feet. In that episode, Ally said to her bf, "(to add some excitment) maybe you could sneak into my room in the middle of the night and tickle my toes once."

So that's the answer to your question. The best thing I can say about AMB is that, for a TV show, there were many tickle references by the female leads.

Wow...

I was not much of an AMB fan because I was not able to watch every episode since my schedule in school goes beyond the sked of AMB in our area. Man, I thought AMB was only a comedy mixed with a little drama. Indeed there was more that I've been missing. Hearing those lines from those episodes proves to me, like what Brown Eyes said, that AMB surely had tickle references to the female leads.

I wonder of Calista would say that in real life. Surely if she does, I'll love her... and I would be home immediately after work before she arrives, with all the feathers ready to tickle her stockinged feet fresh out of her high heels.

Does anyone have this clip? I'd surely love to see this, even though there is no actual tickling actions.

Here are links to summaries of the episodes in question, complete with (non-tickling) pics:

The one in which she says, "All I ever wanted was to be rich, and successful, and to have three kids, and a husband who's waiting home for me to tickle my feet." is here:

And here's the one in which there's a case about the foot-tickling guy:

Enjoy! Happy New Year, odas. 😀

There was also an episode where Ally is trying to dodge a date with this really annoying guy, and she pretends to pass out or some such. The guy knows she's faking, and tickles her feet forcing her to end her pretending.

The show and others produced by the same guy (his name escapes me) had numerous feet and tickling references. Ally had most (she used the wish I had a guy to tickle my feet line in a few episodes), but they have popped up on the Parctice, snoops, Picket Fences, and at least once on Boston Public (all mostly feet oriented things)

Thanks for the info, Myriads. David E. Kelley is a creator, writer, and/or executive producer of all those shows. (See link below)

Looks like he might be one of us. 😉

P.S. He was married to Michelle Pfeiffer (don't know if they're still together), as if you needed another reason to envy him. 😀
