Boston Legal comes to NImmo Bay once again.

                                                             Set your watches, TV’s and TIVO’s

                           for  December 8th.

This will be the very final episode of Boston Legal.

As you all know, an episode called" FINDING NIMMO" was filmed here in 2005.  William Shatner and James Spader came to Nimmo Bay on a fishing trip and caught the wild salmon fever from catching fish, and ended up in a BC courtroom in Port McNeill trying to save the wild salmon from the devastation from sea lice.

Now Denny Crane (Shatner) and Alan Shore (Spader) are back once again to give you, our guests and millions of others, an ending to this Emmy winning series that will never be forgotten.  The end of this two hour special on ABC is filmed at Nimmo Bay: with a surprise ending that will leave you laughing in the isles, gasping with disbelief or crying with compassion. Perhaps all of the above and maybe at the same time.

We are sad to see this great show come to an end, but it will live on with its many fans for years to come.
