Remember when TV theme songs explained the show you were about to watch? Like, if you were in the dark as to what "My Mother the Car" was about, all you had to do was listen to the theme song. It was almost a courtesy to the viewer: "Oh, this show is about a dude whose mom is a 1928 Porter? I thought it was going to be about a lovable black orphan. Next!"
Do they do this anymore? Aside from spoofs? Considering that the titles of six of the ten top rated shows from last week were acronyms (CSI, ER, CSI Guam, NCIS, ACM Awards, NCAA Championship) it might help me get a handle on what, say, "NCIS" is about. That title sucks. It sounds like a federal tax form. NCISuck. A little ditty explaining the concept would go a long way.
