OT - Fairly Iconic TV Intros

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

Don't judge me....

Every time I hear that I think of Mr. Mom and Michael Keaton.

Yummm. Dana Delany and Marg Helgenberg..

I find it interesting how many shows either directly romanticized or made the war a subplot in the show. From The Wonder Years to China Beach to even Family Ties, the war was constantly referenced. Over the last 30 years, the two Gulf Wars and Afghanistan have been portrayed differently on screen. There's many obvious reasons for the difference but I find it peculiar that the only references to the three wars has almost exclusively been combat.

Completely forgot about Riptide.



So many 80’s detective shows happen in and around water or beachy locales...

Who could forget its big brother?

Great show but all-time beating of an intro song.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as PhormerPhrog]

My all-time favorite.

The Case of the Missing Musical Theme

 

[Paint It Purple]

Was this a cartoon or no? I’ve not heard of it before.

It was claymation cartoon. About a boy named Davey and his talking dog Goliath. No one could hear Goliath but Davey and of course the kids watching. Every Sunday, on a station out of Shreveport.

The Case of the Missing Musical Theme

Had a 10:00 am Chemistry class that I would rush back to my hovel to catch the daily re-run at 11:00.

Following up...locally, it’s best remembered as a short that aired on channel 5, Sunday mornings before church, on a show called The Children’s Hour, hosted by Bill Kelley (my 6th grade science teacher’s husband). He’d basically read the Star-Telegram comics, interview somebody from the zoo or a local scout troop, play a few cartoons, then tell us to go to church. I miss it.

They kept the music from the movie but omitted the lyrics to Suicide is Painless because they thought they were inappropriate for TV (probably a good call)

Short, but iconic nonetheless

Wow...totally forgot about Jot.

 

[Limp Lizard]

That was my introduction to Anime. Watched it rarely, since I was in college and did not have that much TV time.

Launched two fantastic careers.
