I grew up on 80’s sitcoms. Way, way, way too much tv. I’ll second (or third) the Facts of Life nomination. I also watched Punky Brewster, Too Close for Comfort, Mr. Belvedere, Riptide, The Fall Guy…and if we’re talking cartoons- Smurfs!

Oh, and I have a box of Caramel DeLites (aka Samoas) in my desk drawer as I type.

I was gonna write something new today, but after being schooled by this, I think I’ll just go to bed in shame….

I don’t do the Reading Rainbow synth, but I do find myself doing the “dah doon don” transition sound they used between book reviews to help transition from one thing to a next at random times; it’s great when someone tells a stupid story that ends suddenly and no one knows what to say.

What is it with our fascination with the sound effects of the 80’s?

oh FUCK!
Airwolf!
Sometimes, I think the stuff I remember from my youth wasn’t actually real, and was my overactive imagination. Every time I see a helicopter I think of Airwolf… but never metioned it to anyone cause I wasn’t sure if I just imagined it.
Gods, that show was wicked.
Oh … and thanks to my pops for innundating me with grown-up entertainment and thinking it was over my head.
He learned too late that I was smart little pistol…
muwahahaha.

You may like to know that they’ve just released the Digitally Remastered official 2CD soundtrack for the Airwolf series, called ‘AIRWOLF THEMES’. It’s available via Apple iTunes Store, Pinnacle-Digital.com and others. It’s going down a storm with the show’s fans I hear. You can download the superb MP3 teasers from the official website – http://www.airwolfthemes.com

Oooh… I loved 3-2-1 Contact! I had forgotten all about it! And Square One too… I totally thought of Square One when I saw the Reading Rainbow intro.

Okay, anything Muppets is a given and I do have to agree with the Facts of Life too.

The Dukes of Hazzard was a big one for me too… I felt so grown up getting to stay up late on Friday nights to watch it!

I’ve already had two of these theme songs stuck in my head this afternoon. They’re all awesome.

I do have to say the one song that gives me an actual flashback is the Dukes of Hazzard. It was like movie night at our house. Every Friday night, cherry Kool-Aid and popcorn (real popcorn) in the big yellow tupperware bowl. That giant one that everyone had back then.
