This one brings back a TON of memories, (good memories, of course!):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2t17TcyGWg&feature=related


 - Dr. Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, Les Nessman, Herb, Andy, Jennifer, Bailey, the "Big Guy" ... we used to have a pool each week to guess where Les' band-aid would be, (it would be in a different spot every week). My favorite episode was the Turkey Give-Away, when they were supposed to drop frozen turkeys from a helicopter, but instead used live ones, and Les was reporting the "carnage" live. Watch that episode here ... it's worth the time. Awesome show!

;)

A bit of TV trivia: What is the only television show without a theme song? ;)

My new favorite is from Treme, which I think is going to be a really good show.

Hmm...  Is this one worded correctly?  Because I can think of dozens of TV shows without theme songs.

Regarding the topic, I'm not sure if they're my absolute favorites, but two good ones that stuck with me from my childhood:

Cheers* is the reason why I became a Celtics fan. I love the show and I love the theme.

ok, this one's pretty much unbeatable, especially since it held such mystique for me as a child.  I had some serious regret issues over missing the opening episode of this series where Steve Austin crashed and they built back as the Six Million Dollar man.  I also saw it in the into, but never got to see the real deal.

Ever notice how much shorter theme songs have gotten over the years?  There's no more exposition.

Lost? Seinfeld?
