Seems that while most people should recognize most of the tunes, a couple escaped notice. And we do notice or remember the tunes easier than the story sometimes! Anyways, we picked a bit of here and there (and all our ages showed with our answers...), and they were...
TV Theme 1 - Ally McBeal
But of course many would get this, with Vonda Shepard's 'Searchin' My Soul' making it oh so memorable. Plain hilarious, especially with surreal imaginative scenes (Biscuit being thrown into a garbage dumpster just as he was dumped by some girl), and one show we tried to catch every week...until the later seasons where we couldn't keep up.
TV Theme 2 - MacGyver
Good Gods he was so young!
TV Theme 3 - Mind Your Language
With the terrifying Dragon Lady!
TV Theme 4 - Dynasty
We love the music, even tho' we don't remember zip about the series (save that the brunette was an evil bitch)!
TV Theme 5 - Picket Fences
This show we found funny because of the many weird things that could happen in a small town! Also we love the piano piece played in the opening. Odd enough that we cannot find the opening scene so we've to make do with clips of the town's hilarious lawyer. Created and produced by David E. Kelly. Ayup, he who went and did Ally McBeal after this show.
TV Theme 6 - Poirot
The music caught our interest, although it never, ever did hit us that we were seeing Poirot when we first caught a bit of it on telly. And rather sadly when we did realize it was the best adaptation of Agatha Christie's Hercules Poirot (seriously, we only did suspect it when we saw David Suchet as Poirot and put two and two together some time later), we never got the opportunity to sit down and watch it!
TV Theme 7 - Star Trek: The Next Generation
Obvious the moment Patrick Steward opens his mouth with, "Space."
TV Theme 8 - I Dream Of Jeannie
Well partly because the music's catchy and the sitcom's funny. Didn't Jeannie had a sister genie?
TV Theme 9 - Airwolf
Goodness knows why we watched this show back then, heh. But catchy tune.
TV Theme 10 - Hawaii Five-0
Now this one, we don't think we ever watched, hahaha. But that tune, so danceable to.
Okeh, this wraps up Nostalgia Week!
