HOW many sites are there devoted to Ally McBeal? Oh, only a few
thousand. Life! sieves through hundreds of pictures of the lollipop-headed
McBeal to arrive at the best sites.
ALLY MCBEAL www.fox.com/allymcbeal/
This official site by the network, Fox, is not half bad. It has the
works, including the bios of the actors and episode guides, including the
banned-in-Singapore Episode 2. Read about it if you cannot watch it.
ARTHUR THAM 'S ALLY MCBEAL SITE dekland.tripod.com/allymcbeal
Arthur Tham is a rabid fan of the waif lawyer and confesses to
programming two or more VCRs to record the show.
This United States-based site contains news snippets of upcoming
episodes, such as how Billy will exit the show and who the new hunk on the
block will be. Does he have a life, we wonder?
INSIDE THE MIND OF ALLY MCBEAL bluesphere.simplenet.com/AllyMcBeal/index.html
Best part of this site are the downloadable sound and video clips from
the show.
Golden moments that you can relive over and over again include Ling's
wordless growl, guaranteed to send shivers down your spine. Download them
before the network's lawyers get wind of the site and crack down.
ALLY MCBEAL LITERATURE SOCIETY allymcbeal-litsociety.hypermart.net/index.html
In a bizarre twist of idol-worship, fans take over the series and pen
their own scripts. While few can match the wit and insight of the show's
writer-producer, David E. Kelly, the weird-o-meter does go haywire in this
collection of over 100 fanfic (short for fan fiction), with stories about
a blue silk dress and four interns at Fish/Cage & Associates.
October 25, 1999
The Skinny About Calista Flockhart Online
"Another well-done tribute is Arthur Tham's fan site.
His site is booming with chit-chat, multimedia, and even a literary
society devoted to the thin one."
"Similarly, The Essence of Ally McBeal offers more than one
good download. And if all else fails, try the Ally McBeal Stress
Reduction Kit which gives you a place to bang your head, à la Ally."
[Note: The Ally McBeal Stress
Reduction Kit is actually mine]

Ally McBeal
Arthur
Tham's Ally McBeal site
Not only is this site chock full of information, it also has amusing
features like the Stump the Expert
section. If you ask the site's proprietor an Ally McBeal question
that he can't answer, you'll be listed in the site's Hall
of Fame. So far, only two fans hold that honor. One, Hannah Kincannon,
asked how many times Ally said "Damn it!" after dropping a bowling
ball on her foot. The answer is ... well, you'll have to check out the site
for that.
The Practice
Arthur
Tham's The Practice Website
Arthur
Tham's The Practice Site is as comprehensive as his Ally
McBeal site, with a great news
section, cast
bios and episode
guide. There also is an events
page that lists upcoming talk show appearances and chats with cast members.
And for those who don't speak legalese, there are links to legal
dictionaries. Series creator David E. Kelley might even find it helpful.

WebSideStory's Picks of the Week 2/8/99
 You're Snappish!
One of the most talked about shows to come along in years, Ally McBeal weaves
storylines about the love or lack of love life of its title character and her cohorts.
This site, which includes a fan generated newsletter, has a very comprehensive and
all-encompassing information base of all events McBeal related. The event listings include
scheduled guest appearances by the members of the cast, airings of related TV shows and
movies, and reports about upcoming episodes. Links at this site include one to legal sites
that explain the legal lingo that is used on the series, another to the various newspaper
and magazine articles about the show, and of course the hallowed site of the infamous
Dancing Baby!

WebSideStory's Picks of the Week 6/29/98
Whether you're an Ally McBeal fan going through hiatus withdrawals or want to
jump on the Calista Flockhart bandwagon before next season kicks off, this World 1000
"Entertainment" site will get you hooked up. This site offers summaries of
previous episodes, fan fiction and plenty of original content. Be sure to check out the
Ally Addiction section to see how hooked you really are and the Humor section for a few
good laughs. You'll also find lots of biographical information about the show, events on
television and the Internet, surveys, and more.
June 11, 1998
 Once
again, though, it's the fans who make the Web the place to find your favorite star. Arthur Tham’s McBeal site
offers a couple of worthwhile items. My favorite page? The Ally McBeal Stress Reduction Kit (found under
“Humor”). Print this page out. The kit consists of a
large circle with instructions to “Bang Head Here.” There are more extensive
instructions below the circle, but you get the idea. You can also find the 20 signs that
you’re addicted to Ally McBeal. For the kit alone, I've given this site a BS2-8.
(BS2-10 is the best and BS-2-1 is the worse)
The Ally McBeal Stress Reduction Kit was mentioned on the cover.

The Calista Flockhart Award for May 1998
 I think your site is fantastic! It's very great with very good
info like Dana's
Ally McBeal Page, with a nice selection of graphics like Searchin' My Soul incorporates. A truly
awesome site! =)
