Just a hopeless contrarian, I guess -- but while one must 
approve any violation of broadcast standards, there still 
seems to be something vulgar and disrespectful in playing 
the WTC through at a sitting even once. Much less 
twice. Just one P&F gives me plenty to chew on for 
one night. 

The Goldbergs from top to bottom, okay. Once. But 
twice through even for them would betray a certain 
shallowness. Unless it was the first time you'd heard 
'em, of course -- and then, anything might be forgiven.
