TV Show Theme Song Tournament Nominations Thread

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

TV Show Theme Song Tournament Nominations Thread

Post by Adam54 »

Consider the song, the montage, and anything else you deem worthy and list your favorites here. Top 68 (Bottom 4 will battle it out in play-in games) make the First Annual Huffy Flounce March Madness Tournament. Basically, if we only get to 68, they're in. If we come up with a list of 69+, I'll make some surely controversial cuts to whittle it down to the field of 68. Seeding of the 68 in the field is open to discussion, though in my mind at least, there are some clear front runners.

Have at it! I'll start with a few off the top of my head.

Newhart
The Bob Newhart Show
DuckTales
Bonanza
Full House
Family Matters
The Odd Couple
The Simpsons
Batman

This top-of-the-head list of yours is clearly just a list of shows you love. I challenge you to add a theme you like from a show you dislike.

I always liked the Captain Planet intro a lot more than the actual show.

Same thing with Frasier. I tried to stick around after the short and elegant "Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs" intro, but the show never grabbed me for more than a few minutes.

Sticking with the sexual innuendo for a moment... I know what "tossing someone's salad" means, but what would "scrambling one's eggs" entail? I assume it would have to be a euphemism for someone playing with your huevos.

It's on par with a 69+.

Oh, and I'd second Mal's nomination of Frasier as a show I don't like but enjoy the theme of.

That's cheating though, and I'll still try to come up with my own example.

Haha, the best part is that at the end of the Frasier theme song he says, "Scrambled eggs all over my face."

I amuse myself.

I believe it involves the feeding of storks and the finding of strangers in the Alps.

I was just getting ready to mention this. Of course, it's on the top of my mind because NetFlix just started streaming the first 5 seasons. Other openings that stick in my head.

I couldn't settle on a single Scooby theme, so here's a handful:

Jubboiter wants to nominate a theme as well:

A great choice by her!!

Though to be fair, Goiter may not be the best scale against which to measure how tiny someone is. That was kind of like holding a dollar bill in front of Mount Rushmore.

I was sixty-five pounds heavier in that video than I am now. If we were to make a newer photo for comparison, Today Jubboiter would seem larger than she really is.

In all sincerity, I think you should re-create that video every year until she's 40.

Muppets
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Firefly
Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel (very similar obviously. I think Angel's is better but Buffy is first and maybe more iconic)
