on a lighter note
I am enjoying Boston Legal right now. I love this show. I started watching it one Tuesday night when Ali mentioned that she was looking forward to watching it later that evening. So I tuned in to check it out.
And now I admit that I enjoy every minute of it. Laughing at the craziness of the world of this lawfirm. I cannot believe what happens to these people. Cracking up out loud, but trying to be quiet so I do not wake-up the husband down the hall. And I have been known to sit with my mouth slightly open because there are moments that shocking. Oh I love it! My favorite part though is the music in between the scenes. The deep "mmms" of the singers. How to explain that one if you don't watch...just imagine deep bluesy sounds that aren't words but are very sultry. Almost like a human saxophone.
Tonight I have decided that I want those sultry sounds between the moments in my life. Imagine, you take the dirty dishes to the kitchen and begin to fill the dishwasher. As you close the dishwasher door, the chorus sings "mmhhmmhmm." You finish reading a wonderful email from a friend. Hhhhmmmmm. You put a pan of enchiladas in the oven. Yeaaahhhhhmmm. You turn on the water for a hot bath. Ooohhhmmmumm. You pull up to the drive-through espresso window. Mmmmhhhmmmm. You slip between the sheets of your bed and spoon up against your already sleeping husband. Ummmhummm.
Love this. Hearing a chorus sing during the little vignettes of your life.

I've only seen "Boston Legal" a couple of times because I have Tai Chi on Tuesday nights, but the times I saw it, I loved it. After finding that Amazon.com had the complete first season available, I ordered...and will indulge myself at my own pace when they finally ship them in May.
i have never seen the show
but i have
truly
enjoyed what you took from it
and put into your own words...
:)
drive up espresso? Now that's something to chant about. Don't got that in DC!
OOh how wierd! We had a ruff parenting night last night ... and so were tooo drained to watch our preserved episode of the West Wing from Sunday (I'm dying to get to this BTW) and hubby crashed, drained from dealing with Mr. 6. I, too was drained, so drained I just needed to escape. Normally I don't watch TV on Tuesdays, but stumbled upon Boston Legal after watching Seinfeld's Putty on the show before it. I don't even know what show this was. I just saw Putty and laughed. But I was totally enthralled by Boston Legal. (You're right. The music is such a huge part of this.) I expect now I'll be watching often. I confess to the allure of Shatner and Spader and I've always loved Candice Bergen. Not to mention my touch of Trekkiness: Odo and Kirk together on Earth! HeeHee to fellow Trekkies! I just love when I log-on to find someone on the very same page. I'm off to hum while I make lunch!
I've never watched Boston Legal but it always looks so preposterous, over-the-top, in a fun way. I really like James Spader (by the way, did you see him in the movie Secretary? If not, put it on your Netflix queue!) My special trashy show is on tonight: Top Model!!
You're hilarious!! I think that sounds like a brilliant idea!!! going to have to check out this show.
i have a confession to make--i can not bring myself to watch boston legal. why you ask? because i loved, loved, loved ally mcbeal and boston legal is so similar in it's quirkiness (same creator) that it just reminds me that ally mcbeal isn't on anymore and that the last season just flat out sucked and that just makes me too sad...
ha ha ha ha ha! I love this! In fact, you have just inspired a post I think! (I'll save it for Friday as tomorrow is Thursday and I'll have a poem - ) I love this need for music between the scenes, you know what else would be funny - a laughtrack!! ha ha haha!! xo
I also LOVE Boston Legal...especially James Spader..YES!
you crack me up.
now, in between the moments of my life i just know i am going to get little images of you singing a chorus to me.
mmmhhhh!
oohhhyyeaaaah.
ummmhummmm.
so fun. this inspires me to take a peek at boston legal just for that very reason.
I have never seen or even heard of Boston Legal-but tomorrow night The Office is on. Have you seen that show yet? (My favorite!)
