Boston

I'm watching an old Boston Legal DVD, and I realized something important. The theme song is fantastic ... if you only hear it once in one sitting. Maybe twice. The "fantastical" quality lessens if you, for example, put the DVD in the player but then maybe take a phone call for a few minutes. And you hear the theme played over and over again, but you can't go turn it off because you're charging your phone as you talk and need to stay near the wall socket. Or if you maybe fall asleep watching the DVD and you can't find the remote to turn it off, because it slid underneath your couch AND the batteries fell out, and you don't want to get off the couch to walk to the TV. That's when the theme song becomes a little problematic. 

But overall, I'm a fan. It has a certain Sanford and Son quality that can't be ignored. And if any of you now have either theme song stuck in your head then my job is done. Transference is complete.
