Do you have your Theme Song?

One of my favorite things to do is watching American TV show. I can’t remember exactly when I started to watch it but I think it was started with the cable’s coming out. I guess my very first TV show was ‘Friends’. Actually Friends is still my favorite show. I still watch some episode of it and it’s so amazing that it still cracks me up even though this show came out more 10 years ago!

Even though ‘Friends’ is very popular, my real favorite show is not that known well at least in Korea. May be that’s the reason why I love this show more! ‘Ally Mcbeal’ was big in States before American TV got big in Korea. It’s basically about the life of lawyers and about how they work through with their cases.

 Ally Mcbeal has very its own uniqueness! First, every character in this show is exclusively distinctive! The main character Ally is full of fantasy and imagination. Every time she felt something or started imagining something, it literally came out in the show. Usually it’s just between Ally and the viewers, so the other character can’t get her thoughts. Viewers can agree with her and put their sympathy on her imaginations because her feeling is totally understandable and her imagination is something that everyone might think of for one time. Therefore this is the way how ally and the viewer build their relationship together. It’s kind of a thing that two friends share secrete together. John is another strange character. Actually he is a weirdo. Basically he stammers badly, moreover he says very random word like ‘Poughkeepsie' when he gets nervous. Besides, he normally sits on toilet to think over, works out with toilet door and has special remote to flush toilet and stuff.

Second, the music of this show is excellent. Not only the part of choosing good music but also the part of using them is superb. Since there is a bar with a good singer and good songs near by their office, normally the characters hang out in that place and sing sometimes. So this means there are always good songs in the show. However there are song particular songs that are used in very special way. Because of Ally’s abstractness, she went to therapist and she told her to pick her own theme song to cheer herself up or something. So she picked ‘Tell him’ as her theme song and for some reason John picked his too and it’s ‘You are the first, the last my everything’ from Berry White. It's so funny that it seems like sometime they share their theme song eventhough theme song can be only played in that character's head!

For the last, Toilet is a very special spot in this show. Even though there are normally two different places each for men and women, the office where they work has only one restroom which is ‘Unisex’. This unisex restroom is the place where they communicate with each other and share secretes together which can’t be secretes.

I think the actors are fantastic. They brought life to their each character, so it is almost impossible to not fall in love with every character. To be honest the reason why I like this show the most is probably Robert Downey Jr. HE IS MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE ACTOR IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!
