Friday Flashback: Spenser

Living in a city that's steeped in history, it makes sense that from time to time we get nostalgic for the past. We don't go so far back as the Tea Party. The eighties are far enough back for us. We've got a certain fondness for things like the Snorks on Saturday mornings, or Alf on Monday nights. For our local fix, Cheers became the mainstay – but Spenser made us love more than fake barstools. In the few short years Spenser: for Hire was on ABC we certainly were privy to more "on location" shots in Boston than Cheers ever gave us. Today we bring you the Friday Flashback video of the opening credits to Spenser: for Hire.

If anyone knows where we can find the clip from Cheers when John Kerry appears on the teaser, we'd love to use that next week.
