The Cowboy Bebop intro is pretty damn iconic for a reason.
I guess it's cheating but the movie intro is even better.
Lastly, my mom would always watch North of 60 when I'd come home from school. I have no idea what happened in the show but I have the theme burned into my brain.
Yep, this thread is back because I never got around to some other favorites.
WKRP in Cincinnati aired on CBS 1978-1982.
Howard Hessman stars as Dr. Johnny Fever. Once the top rated DJ in Los Angeles, Fever is fired after saying "booger" on the air and regulated to a struggling third-rate radio station in Cincinnati.
Gordon Jump is the bumbling, clueless station manager Arthur Carlson.
Andy Travis, played by Gary Sanders, is the station manager and the straight man the cast plays off.
Loni Anderson is Jennifer Marlow, a blond bombshell who is Carlson's secretary and the one who holds things togeather with her wit and intelligence.
Richard Sanders is hapless news director Les Nesmann with a farm news fetish, and Frank Bonner is greasy salesman Herb Tarlek, known for his garish suits and boorish, chauvinistic behavior.
Tim Reid is late night DJ Venus Flytrap, the king of cool and style.
And last but not least Jan Smithers (I was completely in love with her) as Bailey Quarters, who starts out as billing and station traffic director but has ambitions of rising to executive rank.
You might conclude from the length of this post I consider WKRP to be an over-looked 70's sit-com, and you would be right. 🙂
Taxi aired on ABC 1978-May 1982 then jumped to NBC for the final season. The show followed the lives of drivers for the Sunshine Cab Co., ruled over by the tyrannical Louie DePalma, played by Danny Devito.
I remember The Rifleman very well. It aired on ABC 1958-1963. In 1959 there were 26 westerns on prime-time TV. That truly was the Golden Age for the western, but most of them are long forgotten now.
Oh wow! Lots of great stuff here. Cheers gets a hardy second and I was surprised to see it so far into the thread. Allow me to share some of my all time favorites.
The Theme to Dallas-- I disliked the actual show. I would be watching cartoons and time it so that I could catch the theme to Dallas and switch back to my cartoon with a minimal loss of time.
