I read this one on a general DVD discussion forum:

"Why did every episode start with a weather report?
'The sky looms darkly over the bay at Collinswood' or something like that."

 :D

Well, that's just to let the viewer know that the sun never shines in Collinsport. It's always dark, gloomy, and rainy. HELLO Gothic atmosphere, this is your close up. ;)

Someone should explain to that person that the answer is quite simple, really - when used it's a perfect and quick way to set the mood.  ;)  Though, of course, it's actually an exaggeration to say that "every" episode begins that way because clearly they don't.
