Thread: Old TV shows that spark a memory

Pure nostalgia. For some reason, these shows made an impression--probably just the catchy intro for most of them. Let me know if you got one.



I remember thinking the show was pretty dumb, and I was a kid then, so I can't imagine watching it now. But the intro had promises of magic.

Only three seasons, right? And I was watching reruns fifteen years later... It's like the Firefly of the 60's. Something like that.

I guess what I'm getting at is the theme songs. Because I don't know if I ever actually watched an episode of this, but the song was dope to my young ears.

Oh hell yeah.

I think I actually liked this show most of the time.

Maybe I should have stopped at 4 Dales and gone to bed.

Maybe this is why 40-ish white Americans are racist. Because omg this gave me such a microchub when I was 5 or 6 or so.

I loved this show. I used to dance around the coffee table in the living room when I was 5 when it came on. 69 charger, and a girl that wore shorts so tight and short they are literally now referred to as Daisy Dukes.

where did these creative titans go? this is sooooo catchy



I bet they are now programming ultra-low latency online ad revenue auction clearinghouses.

Ok...last one for now. But the best.

I watched it for the theme song, but then lost interest once the episodes started.

I had to go look that one up just last week. Loved that theme song, "Believe it or Not".

What about this one:





My brother and I would ride our bikes around the neighborhood pretending to be officers Baker and Poncherello. We'd practice riding in tandem and doing turns around the corners in unison just like the show.

When we weren't doing that, we were Bo and Luke Duke.

I was watching the 1st season on Amazon Prime & I notice the exact same "Woody" stationwagon kept showing up in different episodes. One episode it belong to a large family that lost track of their infant. It belong to a bad guy in a different episode & got stolen in yet another episode

Haha yeah, that was supposed to be the 2d Dukes of Hazzard that I pasted wrong and didn't fix...so catchy!

Objectively speaking, Cheers, Bosom Buddies, and M*A*S*H have better theme songs. But you keep hearing them, so the nostalgia ain't there.

Sometimes I'd get stuck at home and someone was watching a show like Young and Restless...actually had a terrific theme, realized that tonight.
