Bye bye, Boston Legal...

Boston Legal makes me smile -- the last episode was tonight, which is sad. But it went out well, shark-jumping and all.

You get to hear about it, though, because of this: When I was on jury duty, one of the questions the attorneys asked the crowd of potential jurors was if we watched any "lawyer shows," and which ones. I said no as people talked about Law & Order's various iterations, and the like. But then someone said Boston Legal. And I had to raise my hand and correct myself -- I told the judge that I watched it, but didn't consider it a lawyer show. Which caused him and the attorneys to chuckle. 

I got picked for the jury, by the way. Boston Legal is de-lawyerly enough that it's not disqualifying.
