I just watched News Radio (brilliant show) -- the "Cane" episode. Amazing, as always.
But what really blew me away was that A&E apparently has a totally different opening credits sequence than I have ever seen before. A brief recap for listeners just joining in...
I noticed a week or two ago that News Radio was on down here in Louisville on A&E (actually, Tracy pointed it out to me). I have happily been watching ever since, every night at 6:30pm.
Er... well... actually, it's usually around 6:32:07pm, when I look up from my coding, shout, "Gadzooks!!" and race off to the television to catch this fabulous show. Hence, I hadn't seen A&E's opening credits yet. Until tonight.
Tonight, I was actually a little hungry, so I emerged from The Coding State around 6:27pm. I heated up some soup (gas ranges are awesome -- I highly recommend them over conventional ranges. Buy GO, of course), and made it out to the TV by 6:30pm. I was delighted to see that the "Cane" episode was on (I've seen it several times before). But I almost spilled my soup when the opening spiel was over and the credits started.
It has shots of New York, cabs, busy people walking around... nothing like I'd ever seen when I watched it in South Bend (Philadelphia, too, I think). It just goes to show you -- even something that you have enjoyed for a long time can have new twists and turns to keep it exciting.
It's the little things in life.
That, and good parking spots. That's what makes life worth living.
