My husband is watching it on DVD and I swear if he plays one more episode I’m going to SNAP.

The theme, in all its sucky glory is [here](http://www.televisiontunes.com/Boston_Legal.html). It plays automatically. You DON’T really want to listen to it. Trust me.

Is there any TV show with a more obnoxious theme than that? GAH!

I nominate **Firefly**. Fantastic, swashbuckling neo-western-space-opera incredibilicity: nearly ruined by some warbling, drawling schmuck who writes far better dialogue than lyrics.

Second nomination: **Blake’s 7**. Interminable introduction in the first place, but if you watch the later seasons, you get to watch **two** introductions! Not only are they both stupor-inducingly long, but they’re nearly identical! Argh!

Yuck. I’ve never heard that before. It’s awful.

Not as bad as BL, though. BL causes me physical pain.

I love the firefly song.
