World’s greatest lawyer is ready to cross-examine you Does watching Denny Crane get you in the mood? It does me, and I’m Denny Crane. Let’s get frisky together Saturday Night as we watch DVD highlights from the fourth season of my greatest legal cases and personal exploits. From there, the next step is love, and just as in my law career, I’ve never failed to satisfy. Denny Crane.
